🧐 We often get asked what the difference between dry needling and acupuncture is.

💪They both are techniques that involve inserting fine needles into the skin. Dry needling focuses on targeting triggerpoints in the muscles in order to stimulate the contraction and release of that specific muscle. It was developed in the 1980s as a way to relieve muscle tension. Practitioners typically need a minimum of 30 hours to be able to practice this technique.

🫶 Acupuncture is a comprehensive medical system that has been around for thousands of years and involves stimulating specific acupuncture points on the body to address internal and balances as well as musculoskeletal issues. A licensed acupuncturist receives a minimum of 2,000 clinical and class instruction.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Our doctors at West Knox Acupuncture will perform an initial consultation for every new patient and determine what the best course of treatment for them will be for their specific condition. Sometimes that may be dry needling but more often than not it will be acupuncture.

🌸 Painful periods and PMS are common — but that doesn’t mean they’re normal.

If you’ve been told to just “deal with it” when it comes to:
🔸 Crippling cramps
🔸 PMS mood swings or irritability
🔸 Bloating and breast tenderness
🔸 Irregular or missing cycles
🔸 Heavy bleeding

…it’s time for a different approach. Acupuncture and herbal medicine offer real, lasting relief by addressing the root cause of these symptoms — not just masking them.

At West Knox Acupuncture, we specialize in restoring hormonal balance and improving menstrual health naturally. Our treatments help your body regulate cycles, reduce pain, and bring your hormones back into harmony — without relying on synthetic hormones or medications that only manage the symptoms.

✨ You deserve a cycle that doesn’t control your life.
Let us help you feel like yourself all month long.

📍Book your consultation today and find out what “normal” is really supposed to feel like.

💫FACT!! Approximately 20 to 30 or more acupuncture needles can fit within the lumen of a standard hypodermic needle. This difference in size is significant, as acupuncture needles are much thinner than hypodermic needles, often as thin as a human hair. The exact number can vary depending on the gauge of the acupuncture needle and the hypodermic needle. So acupuncture is VERY different than getting labs drawn or taking an injection!
