What is the difference between trigger point dry needling and acupuncture?
TDN needling is VERY different from acupuncture. The needle is briefly inserted into the muscle to elicit a localized twitch response (LTR). This response releases the trigger point and dramatically reduces the irritating chemicals within the muscle, improving pain and function. Patients often feel a significant ache or cramping sensation from the twitch response but then feel an immediate improvement of their symptoms.
