Anyone get dry needling done in the New Orleans area? I been wanting to do it for a while. My PT did it some but he didn’t really know what he was doing. It did help with my Achilles pain for a short while when he did it though

I think LA is a non referall state now for PT's. I know TX is. In any case, one of the benefits of a Chiropractor is that they don't need a doctor referall and some do dry needling. And if you don't feel comfortable, I believe chriopractors can refer to PT's (It's kind of a racket. Have family that is a chiro whose office has a PT, and the one I visit in Houston is the same).
The name of the place I go in the Houston area is Mobility Sports Chiro. Search for a sports chiro in the area and may find something. I like it. It's nothing like typical neck cracks and back adjustments. It's mostly muscle massage, stretching, taping, and stuff you'd not even questions a sports trainer or PT doing.

Yes, Ben Dichiara fixed me up. He knew what he was doing. It worked after 2 sessions. Highly recommend.

Had the dry needle session today. They used five needles in and around the affected area. The needle insertions were not horrible, slight burning. Did some mild electro stimulation which also was not bad. My results were immediate. I had more mobility and no dull aching in that area. I did some post session strengthening exercises and called it a day. I am sore this evening but knew to expect it. If this can allow that muscle to relax enough for me to rehab it, I have hope for success. The actual needle session lasted maybe 8-10 minutes. So far would recommend.

I’ve had three total sessions along with strength building. I would rate so far as 75% improvement. The sessions are short and mildly uncomfortable. If you’re in pain, and it’s an option for you, I absolutely recommend it. Good luck.

For whoever is talking about the piriformis, it’s a small and relatively deep muscle, so I doubt that it would be effective and probably wouldn’t trust anyone to stick a needle there, unless you want a hole in your sciatic nerve (unless guided by ultrasound with an experienced practitioner).
FYI, needling the piriformis is relatively easy, especially when it is spasmed. And it can be extremely effective. Training involves specifically how to avoid nerves as much as how to hit that particular muscle. No ultrasound is needed. Just a trained practitioner.
