Frequently Asked Questions
-
The insertion of the micro-thin needle is virtually painless. When the needle reaches the active trigger point, you may feel a brief cramp or dull ache known as a "Local Twitch Response." This twitch lasts only a fraction of a second and is the exact sign that the muscle is releasing.
-
While both use thin needles, the philosophy and targets are completely different. Acupuncture is rooted in Eastern medicine to balance energy (Qi) along meridians. Dry needling is an evidence-based Western medical technique focused directly on releasing muscular trigger points, restoring local blood flow, and resetting peripheral nerves.
-
It is normal to feel mild muscle soreness in the treated area for 24 to 48 hours—similar to the feeling of a hard gym workout. Drinking plenty of water and staying gently active helps flush the tissue. Most patients experience significant pain relief and improved range of motion once that mild soreness resolves.
-
We typically treat each session “ad needed”. Many patients experience immediate mobility gains after visit #1. For chronic or stubborn conditions, a typical course is 2 to 4 sessions paired with targeted strength loading to ensure the tightness does not return.
