Acupuncture and Dry Needling

These are different practices that both use thin needles to help relieve pain and restore movement. Acupuncture is Chinese based on meridians, which are pathways through which vital energy (qi) is believed to flow. Dry Needling uses “trigger points” or muscle spasms to direct where we place the needle to release tension.
