From my understanding of acupuncture the needles are going into the meridians of the body. Dry needling goes into the muscles that are painful and in the trigger points of the painful muscle. The two are similar but some of the meridians of the body are nowhere near the painful muscle. This muscle is treated directly by dry needling and can be done with or without electrical stimulation. For example there is a headache point in the foot that acupuncturists use for headache pain while dry needling goes into the muscles of the neck specifically the sub-occipital muscles that relieve the headache along with cervical manipulation to ensure normal vertebral alignment, so the headache will not return. A physical therapists would also add other techniques such as posture correction exercises to maintain benefits of the dry needling. Philip Renoux, Physical Therapist
I love dry needling, it helped with my shoulder blades. But I had to stop because the out of pocket cost was just to much for my wallet! $70.00 for 10 minutes, and $280 for 4 sessions of 10 minutes. Not worth it to me and costly! I hear other Therapy places charge $135.00 for evaluation, and $50.00 for treatment which last apprx. 20 minutes (I looked around) If the price is reasonable in 2023, I may go for this treatment for $135 Eval. and then the $50 bucks.
I just had it done 10 minutes ago to chiropractor that didn't even use the pulsating machine, just stuck the needles and me walked out the room and set a timer for 5 minutes. I had it previously at a physical therapist and they did it completely different they used the pulsating machine and somebody was standing there with me the whole time. This time it started to hurt but there was nobody in the room to do anything
@@ItDoesntMATTERwhatYourNameIS Yes the electrical stimulation on the needles is much more effective in reducing the inflammation and getting the brain to release opioids to help jump start the body to heal faster. Usually an area that needs dry needling is perceived by the body as normal and the stim with needles helps the body return to a normal relaxed state.

This is acupuncture renaming. Acupuncture has sinew channels which they need into the muscles.
Excellent working sir
So nice of you thank you
Great insight!
Glad it was helpful
Hey there do you have a link for the stim unit? Which one would you recommend?
Can you do massage therapy straight after needling or should i wait a day after?
Yeb it is weird dry needling but it could help. I only got it for triggerpoints and without external electricity
Good job

Is this not really electro-acupuncture?
Yes It’s acupuncture rebranded.
That's like acupuncture.
What is called that machine ??
