Dry needling uses thin needles (similar to acupuncture) that are placed into the skin to treat trigger points or “knots” in the muscles that cause pain. Dry needling affects the area around the knots, making changes in the chemicals that contribute to pain. Dry needling is not acupuncture, and physical therapists are not allowed to do acupuncture unless they have a license to do so. Dry needling can also be done with or without electric stimulation and mostly depends on the goals of the treatment.

A word about acupuncture: acupuncture is an entire specialty of its own that encompasses whole-body care with its roots in traditional Chinese medicine. If you are looking for an acupuncturist, we can steer you in the right direction. Just ask!
