Does Dry Needling Hurt? ​
While it can be slightly uncomfortable, most report that it is not painful. These needles are much, much smaller than needles you would use at a doctor's office, resulting in much less pain than people think.
How Many Visits Until I Notice a Difference? ​
Most patients notice a difference within a few visits, but the total number depends on severity, past medical history, and length of time of injury. Our goal is consistent improvement visit to visit.
It is the Same as Acupuncture? ​
They are entirely different! They both use tiny, thin needles, but acupuncture is based on Chinese medicine, which dry needling is not. You place acupuncture needles based on meridian points, whereas with dry needling, the needles are only placed in the muscle knots.
