Acupuncture and dry needling

Bring the questions that matter to you to your next appointment.

• Is acupuncture or dry needling a reasonable option for my kind of back or neck pain?
• Which would fit my situation better, acupuncture or dry needling, and why?
• Is needling a concern with my blood thinner, pacemaker, pregnancy or other health conditions?
• How many sessions should I try before we decide whether it is helping?
• Does my insurance or Medicare cover it, and who is allowed to provide it?
• What else should I keep doing, like exercise, while I try needling?
• Who do I call if I have chest pain, trouble breathing or signs of infection afterward?
