Dry Needling vs. Acupuncture... What’s the Difference?

We get this question all the time!

While both use very thin needles, dry needling and acupuncture are based on different philosophies and have different treatment goals.

At our office both Dr. Maggie and Dr. Brooke are both certified in dry needling. We use dry needling to target tight muscles, trigger points, and movement dysfunction to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support your chiropractic treatment.

Acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and focuses on restoring the body’s energy flow to address a wide range of health concerns.

Neither is “better” than the other, they’re simply different tools for different goals. If we believe acupuncture is the best option for your specific needs, we’re happy to refer you to one of our trusted acupuncture partners so you receive the care that’s right for you!

Have questions about whether dry needling is right for you? We’d love to help! Send us a message or schedule a free consultation to learn more!

A good pillow can make a bigger difference than most people realize. We talk about your posture all day, but it matters just as much while you’re sleeping. 😴

That’s why we carry Pillowise pillows in the office. They’re not a one-size-fits-all pillow. We take a few quick measurements and fit you into 1 of 6 different sizes based on your body, shoulder width, and how you sleep.

They’re a great option for:
1️⃣Side sleepers
2️⃣Back sleepers
3️⃣Anyone waking up with neck pain, headaches, or morning stiffness

If you’ve been thinking about replacing your pillow, let us help you find one that’s actually made for you. Stop by the office, get measured, and see which pillow is the best fit for you!

Neck Stiffness? Try these 3 simple stretches!

Neck stiffness is one of the most common things we see in our office. Here are 3 simple stretches that can easily be done at home or even at your desk. These are also great to do in between your adjustments to keep things mobile!

Hold each stretch for 30 seconds

These stretches are for general education and may not be appropriate for everyone. If a stretch increases your pain, stop and consult a provider!

This isn’t just about the “pop.” 👏

One of the biggest misconceptions about chiropractic care is that the sound is what makes the adjustment work. In reality, it’s just a byproduct.

The goal of an adjustment is to help restore motion to joints that aren’t moving as well as they should. When that happens, your body can move more freely, your nervous system gets better input, and everyday activities tend to feel a whole lot better.

Every adjustment is based on what your body needs that day. We’re not chasing pops. We’re focused on helping you move better, feel better, and get back to doing the things you love!

Fun fact: Not every adjustment even makes a sound, and that’s completely normal. 😊

Dry needling is more than just putting a needle into a tight muscle.

It works by stimulating your body’s natural healing response, improving blood flow, decreasing pain, restoring muscle function, and helping you move better!

Are headaches keeping you from being present with your family, focusing at work, or enjoying your day?

Not all headaches start in your head. Cervicogenic headaches begin in the neck and are often caused by restricted joints, tight muscles, or poor movement in the cervical and thoracic spine.

We focus on treating the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Your care may include chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, soft tissue work, and specific exercises based on your needs!

You don’t have to keep pushing through the pain or missing out, let’s address those headaches!

One of the best parts about having two docs in the office? We get to adjust each other. 🙌

Of course, there are plenty of other benefits too, such as more appointment availability, another set of clinical eyes, and the ability to collaborate on patient care when needed.

However, we also get to practice what we preach.
Just because we’re chiropractors doesn’t mean we’re immune to stiff necks, low back pain, headaches, or the wear and tear that comes with taking care of our patients all day.

We believe in taking care of ourselves the same way we encourage our patients to take care of themselves. Regular adjustments help keep us moving well, feeling good, and showing up as our best for the people who trust us with their care.

If you’ve been putting off that first appointment, consider this your reminder that everyone deserves to feel their BEST, including the people doing the adjusting.
