                                            🌀Acupuncture vs. Dry Needling 
If you’ve ever wondered about the difference between acupuncture and dry needling, you’re not alone. While both therapies involve the use of thin, sterile needles, they stem from very different philosophies and can serve distinct yet complementary roles—especially when integrated with chiropractic care.
💙Acupuncture focuses on the flow of Qi (energy) along pathways called meridians. By placing needles at specific points, acupuncture aims to rebalance energy and promote healing. 
🩵Dry needling is a Western medicine technique, often used by chiropractors and physical therapists. Needles are inserted into trigger points—tight bands or knots in muscle—to release tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain.
⭐️Combining these treatments with chiropractic care calm down the nervous system and inflammation, release trigger point and relaxes overactive muscles, making adjustments easier and longer-lasting.
