Understanding Dry Needling: Science vs Myths

Is it Acupuncture?

While the needles are similar, Dry Needling is based on Western medical principles and focuses strictly on muscle 'trigger points'.

How it Works

The needle causes a 'local twitch response' which forces the muscle to release its chronic contraction, improving blood flow instantly.

What to Expect

Most patients feel a slight ache similar to a heavy workout, followed by a significant increase in range of motion and pain reduction.
