Acupuncture Dry Needling

Acupuncture and Dry Needling

Acupuncture and dry needling are effective treatments for various musculoskeletal conditions. Acupuncture, a practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, involves inserting thin needles into specific points along energy pathways, known as meridians, to restore balance and promote healing. This technique can reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being.

Dry needling, a technique grounded in Western medicine, targets myofascial trigger points—tight bands of muscle that can cause pain and dysfunction. By inserting needles directly into these trigger points, dry needling helps release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain.

Both acupuncture and dry needling stimulate the body’s natural healing processes by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. They can also release endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, providing relief from acute and chronic pain. These treatments can enhance mobility, reduce muscle stiffness, and improve the overall function of affected areas, making them valuable options for managing and treating musculoskeletal conditions.
