Have had excruciating pain for over 4 years in my back at only 20, went to countless doctors and all they said was take Tylenol. I go to Ralph and in one hour he did dry needling and I was pain free for the first time in over 4 years. He is excited to help you and I felt that I was not just another patient on a schedule but rather someone he really cared about.
He dry needled my back and I instantly felt the muscles relax. It was amazing. I would highly recommend him. I was sent here by my neuro doc because I get extreme migraines. I tried the dry needling and after just a handful of visits, they have gone from every day to just a few times a week, and much more manageable.

I have been dealing with leg pain for years it felt like it was my hip. I was referred to Ralph McFarland for foot pain by Dr. Singer. On my first visit, he explained how the procedure of dry needling worked and I told him about my leg and hip. Between him and Christina, they have given me 80 percent mobility and my pain has dropped.

Pre-surgical rehabilitation, or "prehab, " is increasingly popular in the surgical and physical therapy communities. Just as "rehab" generally refers to work that patients do to recover after surgery or intense medical treatment, "prehab" is designed to be undertaken prior to that procedure. To put it succinctly, prehab shortens rehab.

I am used to chain physical therapy companies who typically give cookie cutter treatments regardless of the patient.
Ralph’s practice is the complete opposite. He listens to each patient, their unique circumstance, the type of injury, reads MRI if needed, and closely monitors progress. He provides treatment through structured exercises and performs manual physical therapy - meaning he does physical adjustments to the area that only a few physical therapists are trained to do. For those who experience pain, he also does needling techniques. I personally did not receive, but heard many other patients

Dr. Ralph and his staff are amazing! I have suffered from debilitating migraines for over 4 years. The range of motion in my neck and shoulders was so bad I couldn't turn my neck without triggering a migraine. A Dr. friend of mine suggested I try some light PT & dry needling and OMG life changer!!! Dr. Ralph and his staff are warm and welcoming and truely care for your wellness. Thank you Global Physical Therapy.

Ralph is an amazing PT. Fantastic bedside manner. Knowledgeable. Honest. Fair. Helpful. He cares about his practice. The environment is relaxing. His employees seem happy which means he is a good leader/manager. He offers flexible hours. He also does not suggest unnecessary treatment just to make money. If he thinks you need something he will explain to you why he thinks you need it and why it will be beneficial for you. He is never pressuring or demeaning. Also I absolutely love the dry needling. Personally it's way better than acupuncture. He has helped my 65 year old mother with her sciatic

I was sent here by my neuro doc because I get extreme migraines. I tried the dry needling and after just a handful of visits they have went from everyday to just a few times a week, and much more manageable. I am so appreciative to be able to live my life more fully instead of being weighed down by pain. I anticipate with a handful more visits I will be able to get even more relief and possibly one day it be a once in a while thing and let me live my life even more! The staff here are very courteous and helpful and doc does not try to make money off you and do unnecessary stuff. He only does what
