Medical Acupuncture FAQs
Unlike traditional methods, Medical Acupuncture (Western Medical Acupuncture) (Dry needling) is based on modern anatomy and neurophysiology. It involves inserting ultra-fine, sterile needles into “trigger points” to stimulate the nervous system, release natural pain-relieving chemicals (endorphins), and relax tight muscles.
Most patients feel a tiny prick upon insertion, followed by a dull, heavy, or tingling sensation. Most find the experience incredibly relaxing—it is not like having a blood test or a vaccination.
Medical acupuncture can be effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological and chronic pain conditions, including:
- Back pain and sciatica
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Knee, hip and ankle pain
- Arthritis-related stiffness and joint pain
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Trochanteric bursitis
- Whiplash injuries
- Muscle tension and myofascial pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Sports injuries
- Tension headaches
- Migraines
- Trigeminal neuralgia
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Overactive bladder and urge incontinence
- Sleep disturbances
