Acupuncture and dry needling are both needle-based therapies used to treat pain, but they differ fundamentally in their philosophy and clinical application. While acupuncture is a holistic practice rooted in ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focused on balancing energy flow (Qi), dry needling is a modern Western medical technique that specifically targets muscular "knots" or trigger points.
Acupuncture is often ften used for systemic conditions like migraines, digestive issues, stress, anxiety, and insomnia, alongside chronic pain. Dry Needling is primarily used for musculoskeletal issues such as sports injuries, back pain, neck pain, tennis elbow, and fibromyalgia.
By having Phil focus on acupuncture, our patients get the benefit of a holistic, TCM-based approach that can address systemic issues like stress or sleep alongside pain.
With Guy and Miles offering dry needling, they can provide targeted, Western medical techniques to quickly release specific muscle knots and trigger points during their sessions.
This gives our patients two distinct ways to handle pain:
Phil for balancing energy and overall wellbeing.
Guy and Miles for direct, anatomical muscle release.
