Dry Needling and Acupuncture
Dry needling is a modern, science-based therapy in which fine needles are inserted near the nerves or into the myofascial trigger points (painful knots in muscles) to stimulate the neural/muscular/connective tissues to relieve the neuro-musculo-skeletal pain syndromes.
There are many health benefits that come with massage dry needling. The insertion of needles helps to restore muscle function by increasing blood flow to the area, reducing pain and inflammation, and decreasing muscle tightness.
Acupuncture is a part of ancient Chinese medicine that was developed over thousands of years. This is a whole body approach to good health and will be provided through thorough consultation with an experienced therapist.
It requires taking your pulse, observation of tongue, complexion and posture, palpation and asking your medical histories. Then, several acupoints will be selected according to your body’s needs. As part of this process, for targeted treatment, we also use dry needling. These two types of needling techniques support your inner health and physical wellbeing.

Dry Needling vs. Acupuncture: what’s the difference?
Dry needling is different to acupuncture in that it is a science-based therapy which focuses on reducing pain by targeting certain trigger points in the body.
Acupuncture is a more traditional approach which focuses on restoring the flow of Qi energy.
