Dry needling by PTs is designed to “reset” knotted or overactive muscle tissue by causing it to spasm, bleed a little, and then relax. This usually decreases pain and improves mobility — at least temporarily — and can help jumpstart rehab when combined with other therapies.EVIL: By preventing PT's from dry needling, acupuncturists in CA, NY, HI, OR, WA prevent residents from accessing a proven therapy:
STUPID: From a patient's perspective, they don’t compete, so how can acupuncturists profit from eliminating a non-competitor?
- Dry needling is invasive, uncomfortable, and deliberately traumatic to the muscle — the goal is to provoke a twitch, bleeding, and ultimately a release of the knot.
- Acupuncture is usually gentle, often painless, and oriented toward restoring balance, calming the nervous system, or addressing systemic issues.
- So functionally, they look different to consumers — one is painful but targeted to fix a muscle problem, the other is soothing and holistic.
