Frequently asked questions.
Both use similar needles but the philosophy differs. Dry needling targets specific muscle trigger points based on a Western anatomical framework. Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine theory.
Most patients feel a brief twitch when the needle reaches the trigger point. Discomfort is typically short-lived.
When provided by a physiotherapist, it is covered under physiotherapy benefits in most plans.
