Acupuncture and dry needling are two helpful treatments for people with chronic pain.

Acupuncture is an ancient practice from China that uses very thin needles. These needles are gently placed in specific points on the body. The idea is that this can help balance the body’s energy and reduce pain. Many people find acupuncture relaxing, and it can help with
things like headaches, back pain, and joint problems.

Dry needling is a bit different but uses similar needles. It focuses on tight muscles and areas that hurt, called “trigger points.” These are spots in the muscles that can cause pain and discomfort. By inserting the needles into these areas, dry needling helps release the tension, improve blood flow, and reduce pain.

At our clinic, we believe both acupuncture and dry needling can be important parts of a treatment plan. They can help you feel better and move more freely. If you’re dealing with chronic pain, these treatments may be just what you need to help you along your journey to recovery.
