Well, thanks for checking out our channel! I'm also trained in classical acupuncture and use both approaches. Sometimes I mix classical acupuncture with dry needling a bit too. The dry needling approach is different but they both have value, dry needling is typically a bit deeper and aimed at specific muscles and trigger points in those muscles. I have treated many who have tried acupuncture before. Best of luck!
I tried needling for my sciatica. Best thing I’ve tried. Small pinch to start but nothing to think about or worry over. I walked in with back spasms, walked out almost normal.
Needling is awesome for these types of presentations in my experience. It can really help with spasm and secondary radiating pain due to spasm, disc issues, etc. Thanks for sharing your positive experience!
I must ask ive have trapeze tiger points that are just below the shoulder blade ... Dr said they can't do injection due to being on the ribs.. could this treatment be done ? Have some in my lats as well.. Also I live in Washington state wondering if you could recommend someone here I could consult with. Thank you Thank you
The lats can definitely be needled. The area below the shoulder blade can be too, but the practitioner needs to be comfortable with it and have more extensive training for areas around the lungs. I'm sorry I don't know anyone in Washington state, I believe acupuncturists and MDs are the only ones who can do dry needling there but I'm not positive on that.
I can't give you any specific advise since you're not my patient, but it may be helpful to see a physical medicine provider to get some a plan of recovery.
What size needles do you use for each region? Would you be willing to do an in person course?
I typically use a .25X30-60. Length really depends on the tissue's thickness and the depth I want to achieve. I really like the DBC spring needles.
I love these videos, thank you! My osteo did acupuncture on me but didn’t really make any difference. I wonder if dry needling would be better

Hi again! Just a quick question. How does one differentiate between a lymph node and a muscle knot?
That's best for a doctor to do. Trigger points typically feel like "knots" and a swollen lymph node has a different appearance and feel to it.
Sir calf muscle twitching and back muscle twitching please help me sir

Doctor Jason is a level 8 hot nerd who may have magical powers.
I can't deny I'm a nerd when I get the chance to do some dry needling! Thanks for checkout our our channel!
So the needle doesn’t go far enough for them to bleed??
Periodically there is a few small drops of blood, but its not harmful nor super common. Thanks for watching!
I had this today my L3-L5 and SI it was so painful for ten seconds then spasms after but I felt amazing after ten minutes
Glad to hear you found some relief with dry needling!
