At Acupuncture Health Services, we’ve been treating pain, injuries, and chronic conditions for over 20 years—long before dry needling became trendy.
We offer the same muscular relief, plus expert-level precision, deep knowledge of internal systems, and personalized recovery plans that go far beyond symptom relief.
💡 Here’s the truth:
Acupuncturists are extensively trained—hundreds to thousands of hours—in the use of sterile, filiform needles to release trigger points, ease muscle tension, and support whole-body healing. Physical therapists may learn “dry needling” in a short weekend course—but often present it as a more “clinical” or “modern” approach.
But make no mistake: both use the same tools and often target the same points.
Even the American Medical Association has backed the notion that only professionals with deep, specialized training should be performing needling techniques—validating what acupuncture has done for millennia.
And while dry needling focuses on pain, acupuncture goes deeper—helping with allergies, digestion, anxiety, depression, fertility, and a wide range of internal imbalances.
Let’s stop the confusion—and start the conversation.
