干针与针灸：区别在哪
Dry needling and acupuncture look similar (thin needles) but come from different traditions. Here is the honest comparison.
Acupuncture comes from the Chinese medicine map of meridians and patterns. Dry needling comes from Western anatomy, targeting trigger points in muscle. Same tool, different reasoning.
Who may do each, and how much training is required, differs by jurisdiction. Check your local rules; "acupuncturist" is a protected title in many places, dry needling may be done by other licensed clinicians.
