WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE DRY NEEDLING?
Dry needling is another naming of Trigger point needling. Trigger point needling is another name of Acupuncture. It is important for public to know Dry needling is Acupuncture and public need to know who can provide this service effectively and safely.
Safe?
Needling can be invasive to the body. Some physical therapist and athletic trainers in some states learn how to needle on the weekend and perform Dry needling. I would never trust someone to needling me by practitioners who just attend weekend training. Licensed acupuncturist has gone to Master level degree for acupuncture for 3 years plus to learn how to needle. Please be wise who you go to see and protect yourself and also boundary of licensed practitioners. There is a limit of what you can do with your degree and training. If we cross boundaries, we would loose public safety. Please be careful.
Effective?
Acupuncture Ashi needling/ dry needling is very effective. It is more effective when Acupuncturist obtain further training. It is powerful to look at the body with neuro myofascial dynamic system. Acupuncture meridients and neuro myofascial dynamic systems are intertwine. It can cause some soreness from needling; however, unlike weekend trained practitioners, acupuncturist can bring the effective result with smaller needles.
