★★★★★
“I've always been skeptical of chiropractic care, but Dr. John changed my perspective. He really listens and offers several treatment options like manual therapy, decompression, acupuncture, and dry needling.”
Does acupuncture hurt?
The needles are very thin and most patients feel little more than a light sensation. Many find the session relaxing enough to doze off.
How is it different from dry needling?
Acupuncture follows traditional points to support the body’s healing response and nervous system, while dry needling targets specific muscular trigger points.
