Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, a system of healthcare that has been practiced for thousands of years. It views the body as having meridians, or channels, through which energy flows. Acupuncturists believe that illness and pain occur when energy flow becomes disrupted. By inserting thin needles into specific points along the meridians, acupuncture aims to restore energy balance and promote healing.
On the other hand, Dry Needling is a technique based on Western medical principles. It focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system. Dry Needling therapists target specific trigger points within muscles that are believed to be contributing to pain and dysfunction. The goal is deactivating these trigger points and promoting muscle relaxation and healing.
Dry Needling effectively treats a wide range of conditions, including:
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation by one of our certified dry-needling therapists. They’ll discuss your pain history, movement patterns, and goals to pinpoint the source of your discomfort.
