Is Dry Needling the same as Acupuncture? Dry Needling is similar to Acupuncture in that both techniques utilize hair thin, monofilament needles inserted into various points in the body to treat your diagnosis. The philosophical framework of the two practices vary in that Acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine/Eastern Medical Philosophy and treats traditional Eastern Diagnoses and attempts to move Qi along meridian lines by using acupoints. Dry Needling is rooted in Western Medical Philosophy and treats diagnoses such as muscular strains, chronic pain, neural system, and more. This is accomplished by inserting needles in or near specific structures such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and bone. Dr. Patrick performs Dry Needling with his patients, not Acupuncture.

How many sessions will I need? Each patient presentation is unique and your treatment plan will be discussed with you thoroughly throughout your time with us at Flow PT. Some patients plans involve 1 session of Dry Needling, while other patients have Dry Needling as a component of each Physical Therapy session.
