Functional Dry Needling In Madison, WI
Many People Have Heard About Dry Needling but Are Unsure What It Is or How It May Help Them.
What Exactly Is Dry Needling?
How Is It Distinct From Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a treatment used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, whereas Dry Needling is a modern neuromuscular approach used by Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, and even some doctors.
Acupuncture is concerned with regulating energy flow or “life force,” also known as “chi or qi” (“chee”), whereas Dry Needling is concerned with traditional orthopedic assessment methods such as muscle tone, strength, joint range of motion, and neuromuscular symptoms.
Although the needles used in acupuncture and dry needling are nearly identical, the assessments, procedures, and philosophies are significantly different.
