One of the questions we often hear is: “What’s the difference between acupuncture and dry needling?”

Here’s a simple breakdown:

🌿 Acupuncture
Usually rooted in Chinese medicine;

- Works with the flow of energy (Qi) through meridians in the body.
- Aims to restore balance and support overall physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing
- Can target deep health issues caused by internal imbalances or emotional disturbances (and others)

💪 Musculoskeletal Acupuncture (often called Dry Needling) which is studied as part of the main types of Acupuncture;

- A recent approach, frequently practised by physiotherapists and sports therapists.
- Focuses on releasing tight muscles and trigger points.
- Used mainly for pain relief and improving mobility.

Both use fine needles, but their aims and philosophies are quite different: one takes a holistic, whole-body approach, the other is more targeted for musculoskeletal issues.

➡️ Knowing the difference helps you choose the approach that best suits your needs, always check what your Acupuncturist is trained in before booking!

Can you afford not to have acupuncture?

Yes, you pay for acupuncture… but what if we told you it often pays you back? 😉

Acupuncture doesn’t just chase symptoms, it targets the *root cause*, helping your body restore balance and heal naturally.

That means fewer of these in the long run:
🧾 Monthly prescriptions
🚕 Trips back and forth to the GP
🛌 Time off work
🧘‍♀️ Missed yoga classes you already paid for
🍕 Comfort takeaways when you’re feeling rough
💊 Endless ‘quick fix’ supplements
😫 Wasted energy explaining your symptoms to *yet another* specialist

And yes, even that forgotten gym membership you’ll go back to *once you feel better*. 💪

Acupuncture is an investment in your long-term health and wellbeing; and in many cases, it ends up costing less than the cycle of managing symptoms alone.
