Is Dry Needling the Same as Acupuncture?
Dry needling and acupuncture are not the same, although both involve using thin needles inserted into the skin. Dry needling is performed by licensed physical therapists and chiropractors and primarily treats muscle pain, tension, and dysfunction by inserting needles into trigger points. In contrast, acupuncture is performed by licensed acupuncturists and addresses health issues, such as chronic pain, mental health, stress, migraines, and digestive disorders by inserting needles into meridian points.
