The poster unfortunately did not. "Needling" aka "dry needling" aka "Western acupuncture" is re-branded acupuncture. Like acupuncture, it is quackery and an unsafe scam. Even the acupuncturists agree: "Dry needling is acupuncture and physical therapists are practicing it without a license and putting patients at risk"

Mark Crislip had a good podcast that covers acupuncture and other medical fraud:

If you feel like you need help for "years of sitting at the computer" I recommend Jolie Bookspan's books. The best, most effective information I have come across so far.
