📍While the tools are identical, the clinical approach is what changes your results. At Morningside Acupuncture, we don't just "poke where it hurts"; we use clinical reasoning to choose the right method for your body:

⚡️ Dynamic Dry Needling – The “rapid reset.” Can offer immediate relief, improving muscle stiffness and blood flow through active needle movement.

🌿 Acupuncture – The “holistic system.” Supports recovery, sleep, and digestion by addressing the entire nervous system.

While dynamic needling offers quick relief, long-term healing often requires systemic balance. We combine these methods to treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.

The best dry needling is intentional. We get it, you’re chasing PRs, juggling mileage, lifts, and a race calendar that doesn’t pause for recovery experiments.

When your clinician understands:
✔️ How much you’re training
✔️ What injuries you’ve had
✔️ What you’re preparing for

Sessions can be timed and targeted for maximum benefit with minimal disruption.

That’s how pain improves without derailing performance.

That "sciatica" pain might not be what you think it is. 🤯

It’s shocking how often a stubborn trigger point in the glute or lower back can mimic the symptoms of a herniated disc. The pain path is the same, but the cause is different, and so is the solution.

We believe in a comprehensive approach that addresses both possibilities simultaneously without resorting to invasive measures.

✅ Acupuncture calms the angry nerves and reduces inflammation.

✅ Dry Needling physically deactivates the muscle knots that may cause the referred pain.

Ever feel like your body is wearing a suit that’s two sizes too small? 🕸️ That "tight" feeling could be your fascia. Your fascia is the 3D web that wraps around every muscle, bone, organ, and nerve, acting like a high-tech suspension system that transmits data and force across your entire frame.

When it’s healthy, you move with ease.

When it’s knotted or restricted, a pull in your shoulder can cause pain in your lower back. 🧶

Think of it like a snag in a sweater; it affects the whole garment!

We specialize in smoothing out those restrictions through our combined acupuncture and dry needling treatments to help you move freely again.

Those circles aren’t bruises 👀
They’re your body responding to cupping therapy.

Cupping uses suction to lift tight tissue, increase circulation, and release stagnation, which helps muscles relax, inflammation calm down, and recovery speed up.

It’s one of the 7 Pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine and a powerful tool for pain, tension, migraines, and stress-related patterns.

The marks fade in a few days.
The relief often lasts much longer.

Think of your Achilles like a suspension bridge.🌉 If the cables feeding into it (your calf muscles and deep flexors) are pulling nonstop, the bridge breaks down no matter how strong it is.

Dry needling targets those overworked trigger points to quiet the pull and reduce chronic stress on the tendon.

Not to replace rehab, but to make rehab possible.

The real fix? Progressive loading.
Isometrics ➡️ Isotonics ➡️ Plyometrics.

By quieting overactive calf muscles, dry needling helps you move forward instead of stalling at step one.

Pain relief opens the door.
Progressive loading gets you through it.

➕ Follow for smarter recovery, not quick fixes.
