📚 Educational Spotlight: Dry Needling

Ever wondered about the magic behind dry needling? 📍 Let's dive into this fascinating technique! 💫

🔍 What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling involves using thin, solid needles to stimulate trigger points, release tension, and alleviate muscle pain. It's not acupuncture; it targets specific knots or trigger points in muscles.

🧠 How Does it Work?
By targeting these trigger points, dry needling helps relax muscles and improve blood flow. It can reduce pain and enhance flexibility, making it a go-to for athletes, those with chronic pain, or anyone seeking relief from muscle tension.

🌟 Benefits of Dry Needling:
✔️ Alleviates muscle pain and stiffness
✔️ Accelerates injury recovery
✔️ Improves range of motion
✔️ Enhances overall physical performance

👩‍⚕️ Safety First:
Always consult a certified and experienced practitioner for dry needling. It's a safe technique when performed by skilled professionals who understand the body's anatomy and have proper training.

🤔 FAQs:
🔹 Is it painful? Sensations vary, but many describe it as a small prick or pressure sensation.
🔹 How many sessions are needed? It depends on the individual and the condition being treated.

Consider reaching out to a licensed physical therapist or healthcare professional to explore if dry needling could benefit you!

Please share and support by contacting your local representative to help pass the Medicare Patient Empowerment Act of 2021!

- What is the Medicare Patient Empowerment Act of 2021?
▫️It is a bill that would "establish a Medicare payment option for patients and eligible professionals to freely contract, without penalty, for Medicare fee-for-service items and services, while allowing Medicare beneficiaries to use their Medicare benefits."1
▫️In other words, it would allow any patient to work with the provider of their choosing, regardless of whether the provider is contracted with Medicare.

-What professionals are eligible?
Physician
Physician assistant
Nurse practitioner
Clinical nurse specialist
Certified registered nurse anesthetist
Certified nurse-midwife
Clinical social worker
Clinical psychologist
Registered dietitian
Nutrition professional
Physical or occupational therapist
Qualified speech-language pathologist
Qualified audiologist

- Where does the law currently stand?
▫️Currently, if you are a Medicare beneficiary, you can not be seen by a provider that is not contracted with Medicare.
▫️So, if there is an out-of-network provider that you, as a Medicare beneficiary, would like to see and pay cash, you are not able to do so without this law.

- Who does it help?
▫️Anyone who is a Medicare beneficiary.

- Where is this bill now?
▫️The bill is currently in the House of Representatives being reviewed by the subcommittee on Health, where it has been since May 19, 2021.

- What can you do to help it pass?
▫️Please contact your local representative. ▫️You may find your local representative here:
