The difference matters — especially for chronic pain and athletic recovery.

Here’s a concise 1-page guide explaining the mechanisms behind each approach.

Sports Acupuncture & Dry Needling

 

What’s the difference between Dry Needling, Sports Acupuncture, and Electroacupuncture?

One recalibrates the nervous system.
One amplifies signal strength for stubborn or chronic pain.

If you are an active person who struggles with chronic pain, or simply want to understand what’s happening when the needles go in — this will help.
