Dry Needling in Avon, CT: Dry needling is a procedure that is performed at Avon Chiropractic Health Center. At first glance, it may be confused with acupuncture but it is actually very different. Dry needling is a therapy technique use by Avon chiropractors, Dr. Joanne Santiago and Dr. Joelle Santiago and is similar to acupuncture in that needles are inserted into the skin to alleviate pain.
