Dry Needling vs Acupuncture

For those who aren’t familiar with dry needling, it’s important not to confuse it with acupuncture. While both treatments involve inserting thin needles into multiple points into the body they have some significant differences. Acupuncture is based on Eastern medicine and needles are inserted into points in the body that influence chi – an energy flow that controls wellbeing. Dry needling is based on Western medicine and scientific evidence, focusing on muscle trigger points where tension is the most intense. At VIP Total Health and Hydration near Arlington we utilize dry needling trigger point therapy which consists of inserting a needling into specific tension points to help loosen the tension there. Dry needling aids in the correction of muscle spasms and tightness. The practitioners that perform our Arlington area dry needling pain relief treatments are licensed and qualified.

Effective Pain Relief

Arlington dry needling trigger point therapy is simple and effective with no serious risks. Our practitioners often recommend this treatment as part of a larger physical therapy plan that may also include functional training, exercises, and manual manipulation. Your physical therapist will recommend a certain number of sessions based on the severity of your condition. Most patients require fewer than eight sessions total and start to see improvement after 2-3 sessions. Dry needling sessions are commonly spaced about 5-7 days apart. The muscles may be sore following the treatment, similar to muscle soreness after a workout. We recommend heat or ice to alleviate soreness. After the treatment, our PT will recommend corrective exercises with the goal of helping you return to full mobility.
