Both my husband and I have had it. It seemed to help both of our issues.
My physio uses needles for my sciatica it works well for me. It's not painful if you deal with RA the needling is a walk in the park. Hope goes well
I have not had dry needling, but my sister is an acupuncturist so I have had acupuncture. I know they work a little different from each other but have the same effects on pain etc.
