Athletes put a huge amount of effort into keeping their bodies in perfect performance condition. They eat mindfully to fuel their energy and build muscle, they work out—a lot—and do everything they can to optimize their athletic performance.

Most people trying to compare a picture of someone receiving acupuncture with a picture of someone receiving dry needling would be hard-pressed to find any differences. At this level, it’s very difficult to figure out which one is which. They are both therapeutic modalities where a trained practitioner inserts very thin needles into the patient’s skin at certain points in order to relieve pain or treat other dysfunctions. That, however, is where the likeness comes to an end.
