Dry Needling vs Acupuncture
Dry Needling employs the same tools as acupuncture, but for a different theoretical reason. Acupuncture is used to assist in achieving equilibrium in the body by unblocking qi through specific meridians. Dry Needling puts a needle into a specific trigger point that is producing pain or suffering. Acupuncture goes around the area, while dry needling goes straight to the source.
