Dry needling is not acupuncture, but it is based on the basic principles of TCM and it later became a new treatment method that came in its own right, coming over from Canada. Dry needling works on specific trigger points (TGP). Dry needling means that a needle is punctured into the connective tissue/muscle, whereby no liquids are injected. The needle makes an up-and-down movement to create a "twitch", so that the needle provokes a reaction that stimulates the self-healing ability through the nervous system.
