What Is Dry Needling?

Dry needling is an innovative technique used by chiropractors

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique that involves inserting thin, solid needles (similar to acupuncture needles) directly into trigger points or tight muscle bands in the body. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on energy flow, dry needling is firmly based on Western medicine principles.

How Dry Needling Differs From Acupuncture

Dry Needling and Acupuncture are two different therapies.

Dry needling is based in western medicine, whereas acupuncture is based in eastern medicine. Dry needling primarily focuses on treating musculoskeletal pain, trigger points, and muscle dysfunction. It does not involve manipulating energy flow or meridians but instead aims to release muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve muscle function.
Dry needling targets specific trigger points or tight muscle bands directly at the site of pain or muscle dysfunction. The needles are inserted into localized areas of muscle tension or knots. The primary goal of dry needling is to release muscle tension and alleviate pain. It is often used as part of a physical therapy or chiropractic treatment plan to address specific musculoskeletal issues.
