This Add-on svc can be incorporated into any massage service over 45 minutes as an introduction to dry needling therapy for an established patient/client with a condition appropriate for this modality. Dry needling is a form of therapy in which fine filament needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points – i.e. painful knots in muscles, tendons, ligaments, or near nerves – in order to stimulate a healing response and decrease pain in many musculoskeletal conditions. Dry needling differs from acupuncture by means of the philosophy, clinical reasoning, and conditions treated by these procedures. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling does not have the purpose of altering the flow of energy (“Qi”) along traditional Chinese meridians but is a Western medicine, science-based intervention for the treatment of pain and dysfunction in musculoskeletal conditions.

Dry needling is science-based, Western medicine intervention which differs from acupuncture by means of the philosophy, clinical reasoning and types of conditions treated. Unlike acupuncture, dry needling does not have the purpose of altering the flow of energy (“Qi”) along traditional Chinese meridians and affecting organ systems.
It is a means of accessing trigger points that are deep and difficult to access by other manual therapies. Trigger points can cause dysfunction in how muscle and connective tissue (fascia) should be able to move. Learn more at Dry Needling Details
