If you've ever heard the words "dry needling" and wondered what it is or if it can help - then tune-in!

In this episode of Heal Without Harm, we break down everything you need to know about dry needling: what it actually is, how it's completely different from acupuncture, what to expect during and after a session, and the long list of conditions it can help with — from plantar fasciitis and sciatica to tension headaches, carpal tunnel, and chronic low back pain.

We cover:

  • What dry needling is (and why it's called "dry")
  • Dry needling vs. acupuncture — the real difference
  • Does dry needling hurt? What the twitch response means
  • How sore will I be afterward — and for how long?
  • Can I work out after dry needling?
  • What conditions can dry needling help with?
  • Who should NOT get dry needling
  • Why dry needling alone isn't enough — and what it works best alongside

Whether you're dealing with stubborn muscle pain that nothing else has touched, or you're just curious what your PT keeps bringing up, this episode will give you a clear, honest answer.
