Our bodies are complex systems of interconnected muscles, nerves, and tissues. Sometimes, traditional treatments aren't enough to address persistent pain or dysfunction. Dry needling and acupuncture offer targeted, minimally invasive approaches to healing that go beyond conventional therapies.
These techniques work by stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms, releasing muscle tension, reducing inflammation, and promoting optimal physiological responses. While they may seem similar, each method has its unique approach to addressing both immediate physical symptoms and broader health conditions.
