Acupuncture (TCM) / Dry Needling
Acupuncture and dry needling are therapeutic techniques that work with the body’s neurological, muscular, and circulatory systems to support regulation, pain relief, and functional recovery.
These approaches involve the gentle placement of fine needles into specific points in the body to influence nervous system signalling, reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
From an integrative perspective, acupuncture supports both local tissue change and broader nervous system regulation. It can help calm overactive stress responses, reduce inflammatory patterns, and restore communication between areas of tension and the brain.
Dry needling is often used more specifically for muscular trigger points and chronic tension patterns, while traditional acupuncture works with established neurological and energetic pathways to support systemic balance.
These techniques are commonly integrated when symptoms involve pain, tightness, fatigue, digestive disturbance, sleep disruption, or emotional stress.
