dry needing is a different thing. that's where they electrically simulate the muscles to like hyper massage them. it's kind of an extreme deep tissue massage. leaves me sore usually.
it's not accupuncture, it's a medical sound practice primarily done by physical therapists.
Dry needling doesn't (always?) use electricity. I've had it done too, and the explanation I got was that it basically just pisses off the underlying tissue to promote an inflammatory response and thus blood flow to the target area.
