Thank you for your commentary on the differences between acupuncture and dry needling. As an acupuncture student I thought you did a great job of explaining the differences! I hope other PT's and chiros are as knowledgeable as you! It is extremely important to note the differences and similarities! And it is a question we get all the time as well. However, acupuncture also treats an abundance of musculoskeletal issues. Acupuncture is both a systemic and local treatment.
Hello, very good demonstration. I suffer from plantar fasciitis on both feet for around 2 years, and had shockwave therapy only in the plantar area, but it didn't help much. After some time, I realised that only stretching calf/sciatic muscles there is a temporary relief. Is dry needle helpful long term for this type of pain? How many sessions do you recommend ? Thank you for any advice
Hello! Thanks for your comment. I'm sorry to hear about your ongoing struggle with plantar fasciitis. Dry needling can be a helpful treatment for some individuals, as it targets trigger points and may provide relief by addressing muscle tension and improving blood flow. The number of sessions needed can vary based on individual response and severity of the condition. It's best to consult with a healthcare provider who can assess your specific situation and develop a tailored treatment plan. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out!

Definitely, quite a bit of local MSK treatment occurring in acupuncture. Lots of respect for what you will be doing!

If you just started having plantar can dry needling or swt be a better option
Shockwave would be more effective than dry needling, but they are both effective.
Awesome to see you Doctor. Excellent job.
Thank you! More to come!
This is amazing! Great job, Doc! 🙌
So glad you like it!
Nice treatments
Glad you enjoyed watching!
Just curious, what is the diameter of the needle that you are using? 0.18mm? 0.2mm? 0.25mm? Thanks
