What is the difference between dry needling and acupuncture?

Acupuncture has been utilized for 2500 years for painful conditions. Of late, dry needling and injection therapies to reduce pain and trigger points have become popular. Dry needling is simply the use of an acupuncture needle to treat a trigger point in a muscle. This is often done by multiple insertions to the trigger point. Dr. Ehle treats trigger points with acupuncture needles (dry needle) with wonderful results.

Does acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture needles are very fine. There is very little sensation when the needle goes through the skin…much different than a hypodermic needle. When doing trigger point therapy, hitting the trigger point can cause pain…it is pain that is in the muscle, the pain we are trying to find relief from. By addressing the trigger point, you will begin to get relief from your pain.

Do you treat pregnant women?

Yes! It is so important for expectant mothers to have chiropractic care. The changes that take place in a woman during the months of gestation put a great deal of stress on the low back and pelvis. During treatment Dr. Ehle will also assess myofacial and ligamentous tensions within the pelvis that can interfere with the baby’s normal head down presentation that is needed for delivery. He can also help you with nutrional needs for your developing baby. After the delivery, Dr. Ehle can help your baby if there are symptoms of colic, forceful spitting up, or constipation. It is also important to have your baby checked for upper neck complications from birthing…especially if you had a difficult delivery.

Do you treat sports injuries?

Yes! The dynamics of a sports injury often needs the ability to diagnose the injury on a deeper level. After MRI’s, treatment, and time to heal, there is often a residual weakness that persists which is unexplained. This is where Dr. Ehle’s skills in applied kinesiology help to thoroughly diagnose the weakness, and to determine why there is still a residual dysfunction.

Do you treat auto accident injuries?

Yes! The trauma from an auto accident damages the deeper tissues along the spine, setting up the potential for chronic pain for years to come. It is so important to have the tools to work deeper in the system to restore your health and prevent chronic issues. Dr. Ehle’s skills in Applied Kinesiology, acupuncture, manipulation and nutrition provide a depth in treatment options.
