Questions people ask
Does dry needling hurt?
It should not. The needles are very fine, there may be a small initial twinge, and relief is usually felt once the trigger point releases.
What is the difference between acupuncture and dry needling?
Dry needling treats muscular pain and the needle is manipulated up and down to produce a twitch response, whereas acupuncture is used in Chinese medicine for a wide range of problems.
Is dry needling always suitable straight away?
No. When a muscle is in severe spasm, particularly the spinal muscles, an immediate session is not appropriate; check with your doctor and rest first.
