Dry needling is not acupuncture, which is a traditional Chinese medicine. It is based on scientific study of the musculoskeletal and neuro-anatomy systems. This is an effective form of physical therapy for the treatment of a multitude of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions. It is not appropriate for all conditions or pathologies and the use of the technique will be at the discretion of your physical therapist.
Solution: Decided to see orthopedic specialist. He took X-rays and said it was inflamed bursa and suggested "physical therapy" and heavy regiment of 800mg ibuprofen to act as an anti-inflammatory. My thoughts on it: I just wasted $500 of my annual deductible to have someone tell me nothing and offer no real solution.

I had been experiencing knee pain for months, and chose to visit Andrea for some help. After a thorough evaluation she provided me with the appropriate exercises and did some dry needling on my leg. After being able to squat without the knee pain for the first time in about 8 months, I started sobbing from happiness in her room. Her bedside manner was amazing, she was so patient and kind and helpful. I would recommend her to anyone!

After visiting with another physical therapist for back and shoulder pain for several months, I was not getting any noticeable results. A friend mentioned dry needling and recommended Andrea. I owe this friend a big thanks. After my first visit, I was finally feeling relief in my lower back. She gives thorough assessments listens attentively to what is affecting you. Andrea is not only professional, she is a delight to be around. I immediately felt totally safe and comfortable, and my back really cannot recommend her strongly enough.

As a dancer for Cincinnati Ballet, Andrea kept me healthy and able to train and perform at my highest level. I didn't know I could get as comfortable with someone sticking needles in me as I am with her - Andrea's dry needling is highly effective. Her table-side manner is wonderful, and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking to treat and recover their body!

I FELT 90% BETTER AFTER ONE VISIT. The second visit, my lower back was 100%. I thought I was at a dead end with lower back pain. After TWO years of trying chiropractors with no success, I finally found Andrea. DRY NEEDLING is the way to go! Her experience, talent, and knowledge healed me. I can finally do normal things a 22yr old should be able to do. She has taught me so many things.

I've tried physical, massage, chiropractic and acupuncture therapy. Dry needling is the only treatment that alleviated years of shoulder and neck pain. Thank you Andrea!

Andrea’s treatments, exercises and dry needling therapies help me to stay doing the things I love most- being active with my children and lifting weights. Personally, I have found benefit in getting dry needled regularly as a preventative measure to aid in staying injury free! Highly recommend!

Dr. Cornell is fantastic!!! She knows exactly how to listen to your needs, and will work with you at your own pace to treat your opportunity.

I have been receiving treatments from Dr. Cornell on an as needed basis for about 2 years. She is consistent, reliable, knowledgeable and very good at Dry Needle; to boot she is always helping to find ways to work with you through physical therapy, posture, exercises and so on, so that you can live the daily better, with less pain/pain-free and more healthy.

I do not normally write these type of reviews, however, since I tell everyone how great Dr. Cornell

Dr. Cornell is amazing. She has helped me work through many issues caused by my job, weight lifting and recovery from surgery. She is thoughtful and always a pleasure to be around. She is also always learning new techniques and therapies to better serve her patients. I have recommended her to many friends and will continue to do so as she always goes above and beyond!

After years of kitchen work, I have been trying to work out shoulder, back, and neck pain to extremely limited success. Not even an hour of dry needling and I haven't felt better, amazing stuff. If you've been experiencing chronic pain or even minor discomfort, go here. You won't regret it.

I've been seeing Andrea for hip/back pain. After visiting a few other PT's I was getting frustrated by not seeing any improvements to my pain. I've been to Andrea a few times now and not only is my pain improving, I finally understand what is causing the pain. Andrea has shown me exercises to do at home in addition to the dry needling. She thinks outside the box and I appreciate the time and effort she always puts into each session. I was extremely hesitant about dry needling at first but Andrea was extremely patient with me and made me feel comfortable. I can't recommend
