Dry Needling and Western Medical Acupuncture

Dry needling or Intramuscular stimulation with the use of acupuncture needles is a great way to release tightened muscles. Typically, when needled appropriately, and the muscles are properly hydrated, a muscle may jump and release upon needling.

A comprehensively trained acupuncturist may utilize dry needling with electro-acupuncture in treating musculoskeletal pain conditions like sciatica, low back pain, tennis elbow, neck and shoulder pain. This type of needling is offered at Regina Acupuncture.
