When is Acupuncture, Not Acupuncture? When its “dry needling”!

When is Acupuncture, Not Acupuncture? When its “dry needling”!

Acupuncture and dry needling seem to many patients to be the same therapy, however they are fundamentally different both for patient safety and clinical effectiveness.

I found an article from an American Acupuncturist that decided to get “Dry Needling” certification to see the difference in person. The important safety aspects become very clear very quickly. Scary reading but an important message for all prospective patients considering receiving dry needling.
