✨ Acupuncture vs Dry Needling — What’s the Difference? ✨
🪡 Acupuncture
✔ Origin: Traditional Chinese Medicine (thousands of years old)
✔ Goal: Restore balance in the body’s energy flow (Qi) via meridians
✔ Approach: Tailored treatment plans for holistic health – addressing pain, stress, sleep, digestion, immunity & more
✔ Training: Practitioners complete extensive medical and TCM education
💉 Dry Needling
✔ Origin: Modern Western therapy
✔ Goal: Release muscle tension and trigger points
✔ Approach: Primarily for local pain relief and muscle tightness
✔ Training: Often short courses for health professionals
💡 In short:
Acupuncture = whole-body healing
Dry Needling = targeted muscle therapy
🌿 At Phases Chinese Medicine Clinic, our acupuncture treatments go beyond symptom relief — they aim to restore balance, promote natural healing, and support your overall well-being.
