What Is The Difference Between Acupuncture And Dry Needling?

Acupuncture and Dry Needling may use similar devices for healing, but beyond that, they are very different treatments. Acupuncture is rooted in Chinese Medicine and works on the principle of needing to restore a balance of energy within the body to achieve healing. Dry needling, however, is rooted in Western Medicine and uses the understanding of the musculoskeletal system to treat patients by stimulating myofascial trigger points that are causing the problem.
