What is Medical Acupuncture / Dry Needling

This westernised approach and technique to medical acupuncture is called Dry needling.

Medical acupuncture, also known as dry needling, is a treatment that uses fine needles inserted into specific areas of the body to help reduce pain and release muscle tension. It is commonly used to target tight muscles and areas of discomfort, helping improve movement and overall physical wellbeing.
