Dry Needling Vs Acupuncture

The shared aim of dry needling and acupuncture is to provide relief from pain; however, the practices are completely different from each other.

Dry Needling :-The process aims at relieving pain and cramping. Not just that, it may also help improve flexibility in an individual. In this process, the practitioner inserts short, thin, stainless steel filiform needles into pressure points, also known as trigger points. The trigger points are tight areas in the muscles. Nothing is injected into the body as these needles do not contain any liquid.

Dry needling is usually performed by sports therapists and other physical therapists. The two less common types of dry needling are:

  • The in and out technique
  • The non-trigger points technique

Acupuncture:- While dry needling has recently come into existence, acupuncture is an ancient technique. The technique is said to relieve stress, pain, and discomfort by opening up an individual’s energy slow. In this process, long, thin needles are used to stimulate nerves in the muscles and under the skin. This helps in the production of endorphins, making the individual feel good.

Here is the list of symptoms that can be alleviated using acupuncture:

  • Muscle pains and aches
  • Nausea
  • Menstrual cramping
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Depression
  • Labor pain
  • Vomiting
  • Joint pain

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
