Just came here to say this.
I've had dry needling for TMJ, sinus infections, endometriosis, tendonitis in the side of my lower leg, and sciatica. It works really well.
It's not easy to get someone who really knows what they are doing. My chiropractor does it and it doesn't seem as effective as when my PT does it who is highly skilled in dry needling.
I had PF for a year and I know how awful it is. I didn't know about dry needling back then so I did Hokas, massage, night splint and eventually it went away but I don't know what did it. I'm told it sometimes just stops but clearly that is not happening. Surgery is always a last resort but I think if dry needling doesn't work, you might need to look into that.
