Dry needling vs. Acupuncture — what’s the real difference? 🪡 our resident pain management acupuncturist, Kristen, gets asked this a ton!
While they might look similar on the surface, the approach is very different. In TCM, we don’t just target the ‘trigger point’ (which we call Ashi points). We look at the whole system to address the root cause of why that pain started in the first place.
Thinking about trying it? Make sure you check your practitioner’s training. Or better yet, come see us at Restorative Acupuncture for a truly holistic approach to healing!
