Acupuncture vs. Dry Needling: What’s the Difference?

The distinction between acupuncture and dry needling isn’t always clear-cut due to overlapping mechanisms. For an in-depth comparison, read our detailed blog post on acupuncture vs. dry needling.

Quick Comparison:

  • Acupuncture: Uses lighter stimulation, treats both local symptoms and underlying systemic conditions, often combined with tui na massage and herbal medicine
  • Dry Needling: Typically uses stronger stimulation, focuses on the problematic region, integrated with bodywork, stretching, and strengthening exercises
