Acupuncture or Dry Needling? Same needle, different goal.

After decades of research and hundreds of pain trials, including thousands of patients, there is still insufficient evidence for the use of acupuncture (BMJ, 2018;360:k970). However, diagnosis by a Physiotherapist and Dry Needling for Myofascial Trigger points, is deemed safe & effective (Unverzagt et al., 2015).
