DRY NEEDLING

Dry needling has become a confusing topic for the general public as it’s become increasingly used by many professionals such as physios, myotherapies and remedial massage therapist just to name a few. There are professionals who call dry needling Acupuncture and there are other professionals who much prefer to differentiate them to keep them as separate therapies.

 

The truth about dry needling vs acupuncture 

 

The truth of the matter is that dry needling is a type of acupuncture. Dry needling focuses primarily on muscular dysfunction and pain with a specific focus on trigger points and “knots”. Whereas traditional acupuncture has a broader range of application such as women’s health issues, digestive issues, insomnia and is also generally regarded as gentler and relaxing compared to dry needling.
