So you've heard about acupuncture. Your best friend gets it. Even your great Aunt gets it.
You've heard acupuncture can help your low back pain, or maybe that ankle you broke in college that's still giving you trouble.

Just the very nature of carefully and painlessly inserting the acupuncture needle creates a shift in the body's nervous system. Of course it does - there's a foreign object now connected to your body causing your body to communicate differently on many levels, the least of which is the nervous system. Every point has a specific function and when we combine them together we harness the synchronistic effect of those points to communicate with the body on all levels - energetically, emotionally, physically, and systemically. This is why acupuncture can create shifts in the body, not only on a physical level where it can eliminate pain as well as bring back nerve function where it's been lost, like in Bell's palsy, but it also helps those with anxiety and depression feel and think better. 2.

Acupuncture vs Dry Needling: Be InformedI often get asked what the difference is between acupuncture and dry needling. This question is usually asked by people who have either had one and not the other, or by people who are looking to get as much help as possible for their aches and pains.
The infographic below takes a look at the similarities and differences between acupuncture and dry needling, the differences in education between acupuncturists and other allied health professionals that offer dry needling, and why acupuncturists are the leading experts in needling therapy.
