Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Overview

Acupuncture and dry needling use thin, sterile needles to reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, and support your body’s natural healing. At Peak Performance Chiropractic Center, we use advanced dry needling protocols to precisely target pain patterns for effective results.

What’s the Difference?

Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and works by balancing energy flow (qi) along meridians to restore harmony. In contrast, dry needling is a modern technique that targets muscle trigger points, relieving tension, boosting circulation, and stimulating tissue repair.Benefits and Applications

How It Helps:

These techniques support recovery from chronic pain, muscle tightness, tension headaches, and post-surgical rehabilitation. They help stimulate endorphin release, reduce stiffness to restore range of motion, and enhance circulation to speed up healing.
