Dry Needling

Myofascial Dry Needling is a safe and effective method of treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. It is the art of using needles to deal with trigger points which results in a twitch of a muscle as it grabs onto the needle.

It is in no way, shape or form related to acupuncture. The only similarity between acupuncture and dry needling would be the use of the needles however the methodology behind it is different. Acupuncture focuses on the diagnosis of the problem whereas dry needling is all about finding muscles with hypertenicity and releasing that tension.
