Hello,
Here's information on two providers listed by the International Pelvic Pain Society. They are in the DC area. Please note that I know nothing about these individuals, other than the fact that they're members in good standing with the IPPS.

If they don't work out, you might try calling Dr. Wise and seeing if he has any contacts in the area.

Jan Dommerholt of bethesda physiocare treats male patients with dry needling for external trigger points, he does not do internal work, his treatment was immensly helpful in my case
