Dry Needling

Dry Needling is often confused with Acupuncture- the Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy based on the philosophy of Meridians. In Acupuncture philosophy, “qi” or life-force flows through seven vertical channels in the body, and interruption of this flow is responsible for ill-health. By inserting needles into acupuncture points, the normal flow of qi is restored, and this returns the body to health. While acupuncture as a discipline has been proven effective at relieving pain from certain conditions, the philosophy itself departs from normal scientific Western medicine, in that it is not described in terms of anatomy, physiology and pathological basis of disease.
