Traditional Acupuncture
-
Traditional acupuncture, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is a therapeutic practice with a history spanning thousands of years.
-
Based on the concept of Qi, or vital energy, flowing through meridians in the body, acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points to balance and harmonize the body's energy flow.
-
This holistic approach aims to address not only the symptoms but also the underlying causes of various health issues.
-
Traditional acupuncture is known for its effectiveness in pain management, stress reduction, and promoting overall well-being by restoring the body's natural balance.
Dry needling
-
Dry needling is a modern therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of thin needles into trigger points or tight bands of muscle to alleviate pain and improve function.
-
Dry needling focuses specifically on releasing muscular tension and addressing neuromuscular issues. By targeting trigger points, which are hyperirritable spots in muscles, dry needling aims to stimulate a local twitch response, releasing muscle knots and promoting relaxation.
-
This technique is commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, such as chronic pain, tension headaches, and sports injuries.
-
Dry needling is appreciated for its ability to directly address muscular dysfunction and enhance overall mobility and function, making it a popular choice for those seeking targeted relief from musculoskeletal issues.
