  1. Dry Needling vs. Acupuncture: Which Is Right for You?

  2. Is dry needling the same thing as acupuncture? • If you only compared dry needling and acupuncture with a photo, you might be stumped to identify each. Both acupuncture and dry needling use thin, stainless steel needles. For both practices, needles are inserted into the skin and both also claim to treat pain.

  3. What is dry needling? • Physio revive Dry needling is a modern treatment designed to ease muscular pain. Its popularity is growing. • During dry needling, a practitioner inserts several filiform needles into your skin. Filiform needles are fine, short, stainless steel needles that don’t inject fluid into the body. That’s why the term “dry” is used.

  4. In-and-out techniques • Some forms of dry needling use techniques called pistoning or sparrow pecking. Both of these techniques rely on in-and-out needle insertion. In other words, the needles don’t stay inserted in the skin for long. The needles prick the trigger points and are then removed. More research is needed to support this method of dry needling.

  5. What are the benefits of acupuncture? • The fundamental belief of acupuncture is that illness is the result of blocked or interrupted chi. Chi provides your body with healing energy. Acupuncture seeks to remove these blockages and return your energy flow to a state of balance. • Acupuncture is used to treats hundreds of conditions and symptoms, including: • pain • nausea • vomiting • headache

  6. Low back pain • A 2015 review of studies found that acupuncture could provide short-term relief from low back pain. This is true if acupuncture is used alone or with other treatments, such as medications or physical therapy.

  7. Knee pain • Pain caused by osteoarthritis in the knee is a leading cause of disability among adults. A 2010 review found that acupuncture is an effective treatment for knee pain and physical symptoms of osteoarthritis.
