4. What is dry needling and how is it different from acupuncture?

Dry needling involves inserting fine, sterile needles into muscle trigger points to relieve tightness, reduce pain, and improve mobility. It’s based on anatomy and musculoskeletal science and is different from acupuncture, which follows traditional Chinese medicine principles. Dry needling is commonly used for treating tension, sports injuries, headaches, and chronic pain.
