“Dr. Merrick’s dry needling class was amazing. He was a great instructor that made learning the techniques easy to learn while giving me confidence in preforming the procedures in clinic on Monday. I Highly recommend this needling program to help take your practice to the next level.”

“During the Level I class Dr. Merrick asked if we had any family, friends or patients that might benefit from the dry needling procedure, My husband has been an avid powerlifter until two plus years ago when he injured his right shoulder and had been “light” lifting ever since so I brought him in for a group evaluation and a specific dry needling technique for the right shoulder (subscapularis and upper trap). The post needling assessment was amazing to all of us in the group and especially to my husband. ROM 50% improvement, pain levels down at least 60% when provocated. My husband is my partner in chiropractic and still is “shocked” at the instant results that still remain. Weight training resistance is climbing, cautiously.

I was pleased and excited to see that the mass chiropractic society is sponsoring dry needling seminars. I have been interested in this modality and form of treatment for many years but have not had the opportunity to be trained as a chiropractor. Dr. John Merrick has many years of experience as both a physical therapist and a chiropractor. He is a competent teacher and I thoroughly enjoyed the 20 hours of training. There was plenty of hands-on practice and opportunity for individual attention. It’s great to have one more tool in my tool box that may help my patients!

The course was to the point! Pun intended. It covered a wide array of musculoskeletal ailments and the comprehensive needling points to be targeted. John Merrick, DC, PT, MA is very knowledgeable and his expertise in the subject came through. A very pleasant experience and I would highly recommend it to the Chiropractic Physician who wants to add another great adjunct to their tool box.

I found the Dry Needling Certification Course [sponsored by the MCS] very well presented. Before practicing the techniques we watched detailed videos of the specific body areas to be treated. Dr. Merrick supervised our dry needling technique at all times. I felt very confident in my dry needling technique by the end of the course and was able to incorporate it into my practice on Monday. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to add a great adjunct to their practice. It has a high success rate with most neuromusculoskeletal conditions seen in health care today
