Dry needling is different to acupuncture. So what’s involved? And is it effective?
Anna Savina/Getty Images Physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths commonly use dry needling to treat neck, shoulder, back and other types of muscle pain. It involves inserting thin needles into sensitive parts of a person’s muscle, often termed “myofascial trigger points”. The needles remain in the muscle for a few minutes and can be gently moved to create a twitch response in the muscle. This therapy is thought to relax the muscle, reduce inflammation, promote healing and reduce pain. But does it actually work? And what are the risks? Similarities and differences to acupuncture Dry needling is similar to acupuncture: they’re both applied to reduce pain. Both treatments use solid, single use needles. They’re commonly 30–75mm long and 0.2–0.3mm thick, although longer needles may be used for deeper muscles. Unlike injection needles, they aren’t hollow and don’t inject medication. A key difference is how the needle locations are chosen. Traditional acupuncture selects points based on symptoms and Chinese medicine concepts, including balancing qi as it flows through pathways called meridians. Dry needling is applied directly to tissue that’s thought to be the cause of symptoms. Dry needling is gaining popularity People seeing a physiotherapist for aches and pains are increasingly being offered dry needling. A 2023 survey of 203 Australian physiotherapists found 64% use dry needling on their patients. The surveyed physiotherapists believed dry needling was an effective pain reliever and thought it was particularly effective alongside treatments such as exercise or manual therapy (which encompasses massage and manipulation or “joint cracking”). In Australia, registered physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths meet the safety standards required to use dry needling if they have completed training. The training usually involves a short (weekend) course. Does dry needling work? Several research studies have collated the available evidence on dry needling. Most conclude it provides short-term pain relief for conditions such as neck pain, shoulder pain and low back pain, but is no better than other common treatments such as exercise. Clinical practice guidelines are what health-care providers should use to dictate which treatments to provide and not provide. However, few clinical practice guidelines recommend dry needling. There are two main reasons why. Nearly all studies investigating the benefits of dry needling have serious concerns about how they’re conducted. This includes not being able to determine whether the benefits of dry needling are genuine or simply reflect placebo effects – when your health improves after receiving a fake treatment. So it remains unclear whether dry needling provides benefits beyond a placebo. Another reason is the potential risks of dry needling. What are the risks? Inserting thin and extremely sharp needles into the body requires an excellent understanding of anatomy. Health-care providers need to be extremely careful to avoid major arteries, veins and nerves when dry needling around the neck and avoid puncturing the lungs when dry needling around the “traps” (trapezius muscles) and torso. There have been cases of providers puncturing their patients’ lungs during dry needing, prompting a medical emergency. In June, it was revealed that a Western Australian physiotherapist had her registration suspended for three months after puncturing a patient’s lungs, causing bilateral pneumothoraxes – the collapse of both lungs. In November, Pittsburgh Steelers NFL player TJ Watts had to undergo emergency surgery after a similar injury caused a partial lung collapse. Despite the risks, half of the studies on dry needling don’t mention if any adverse events occurred. The studies that do report risks suggest serious risks such as a collapsed lung, infection or broken needle that gets stuck in a person’s body are very rare. But we don’t know exactly how rare this is. Data from a large study on acupuncture suggests these adverse events occur in approximately one in 100,000 patients. But it’s unclear if the risk is the same for dry needling. Less-serious side effects such as minor bleeding, bruising, soreness at the needling site or temporary symptom aggravation seem to be common. Some factors also increase some risks, such as taking blood thinning medication or having an immune disorder. I still want to try it. What should I ask my provider? Because the evidence on dry needling is uncertain and risks have not been adequately reported in the research, it’s important to discuss the benefits, risks and practicalities of dry needling with your health-care provider. If your goal is short-term pain relief, consider asking your provider if there are other options that could provide similar relief. If you have a fear of needles or have fainted when undergoing a needling procedure previously, such as a blood test, then dry needling might not be the best treatment for you. Before undergoing dry needling, it’s important you have had a chance to ask questions and been given sufficient information about the treatment before providing informed consent. Questions you might ask your health-care provider include: What are my treatment options? What are the potential benefits and risks of these options? How likely is it that those benefits and risks could happen to me? Although other treatments are as effective or more effective with fewer potential side effects, dry needling might be useful for some people. But a discussion of risks and benefits should always be transparent and ongoing. Giovanni E.

More than half of children and teens are using AI for personal reasons. This comes with risks
Beatriz Herrera/Getty Images New data released this week shows 54% of Australian children and teens are using artificial intelligence tools for personal and social reasons. That includes seeking advice on personal problems, talking about feelings, and experimenting with role play and flirting for teens. Navigating complex situations is a normal part of growing up. But while AI provides new opportunities, it also introduces new risks. So what should parents and adults be aware of? AI use among children and teens In March and February this year the eSafety Commissioner surveyed 1,950 Australians, aged between 10 and 17, who were recruited online through their parents. Survey results showed 78% of children and teens had used an AI assistant, such as ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude. AI assistants are primarily used as a practical tool to help with tasks such as writing, editing and sourcing information. Around 20% of this group used AI tools at least daily. But more intimate uses are common too. Of the 54% who reported using AI for social and personal reasons, 33% asked AI for advice about physical health, 33% asked for advice about what to do in a particular situation, and 20% asked AI for advice about their mental health and wellbeing. Around 10% of teens, a meaningful minority, also used AI companions. These are AI tools that simulate more sustained role play of various forms, including romantic ones. Children with disability and LGBTQIA+ young people were more likely than others to engage with AI companions. Some teens report turning to AI assistants and companions specifically to discuss personal issues. However, the majority who discussed personal issues first sought out these tools for other reasons, such as homework help, information seeking or entertainment. The drift from more practical purposes to more personal ones is important to note. Privacy risks The report highlighted privacy concerns that may arise from children and teens’ AI use. When children and teens use AI for health advice, or to chat about feelings, it often leads them to reveal personal information. According to the eSafety report, roughly one third of those surveyed had disclosed personal information to AI. However, AI tools are beset with privacy risks, and tech companies are not obligated to protect private information in the way a mental health or medical practitioner would be. Personal information shared with AI assistants or companions might, for example, be harvested as training data for the next iteration of AI models. AI tools do not understand the responses they are generating. This could lead them to inadvertently reveal personal information in different contexts, potentially to other users. These privacy risks are something the government is aware of. The Children’s Only Privacy Code is due to be enacted this December and will likely provide certain privacy expectations that extend to AI tools. Harmful interactions AI can also expose children and teens to harmful content. The eSafety survey found 20% of children and teens reported potentially harmful or inappropriate interactions with AI tools. This included chatbots or companions being mean towards users, saying hateful things about particular demographics of people, and attempting to control users in various ways. Knowing when certain ideas might be harmful or negative often depends on understanding the context and circumstances of each person. AI tools do not understand if their responses are factual or not, only if they sound plausible. This could lead to AI replicating bullying language or other negative responses simply because these exchanges exist in the data AI tools were trained on. AI can be misleading There are other risks associated with AI use parents and children should be aware of. Research shows AI systems tend to be highly sycophantic. This means they typically agree and reinforce the user’s viewpoint, regardless of whether it’s accurate or not. This can distort young people’s perspectives on particular situations and reinforce poor choices. Current AI tools routinely fabricate information too. The industry excuses this by calling these outputs “hallucinations”. But AI is not alive, nor is it actually intelligent in any human sense. Being mindful that these tools glitch, or simply make mistakes, is important, especially when personal information is being given or tools are being used for mental health support. Building AI literacy Tech companies want AI to be the Swiss Army knife of the digital world, used in a huge array of circumstances. Children and teens might start exploring with the magnifying glass, or by using the screwdriver, but they’re also potentially one decision away from a very sharp blade. It would be naive to think young people won’t eventually explore the full array of tools they have access to. The challenge for parents and educators is helping young people build their AI experience and literacy one tool at a time. In practical terms, this means having conversations within families about AI use – a measure recommended by the eSafety Commissioner – and exploring AI tools together. It’s vital children and teens can always turn to trusted adults as their AI experiences widen, especially if they encounter inappropriate content or experiences. Being mindful that AI tools are persuasive, rather than necessarily accurate, is also critical in understanding their limitations. AI is a rapidly expanding part of young people’s education, information, entertainment and creative landscapes. The eSafety survey reminds us we all need to be talking and thinking about how AI works, what it’s good for, when its use is appropriate, and what risks it might pose.

Trump clashed with Hegseth over munition shortage amid war on Iran: Report
Trump clashed with Hegseth over munition shortage amid war on Iran: Report US President Donald Trump confronted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over Washington's critical shortage during the war on Iran, The Washington Post reported. According to the newspaper citing sources, Trump demanded answers during a cabinet meeting last week after finding out about the deficit in vital weapons, despite his understanding that the issue had been addressed. The report cited the shortage in munitions as one of the reasons behind Trump's decision to pause large-scale strikes against Iran. During the meeting, Hegseth reportedly defended himself and instead blamed Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg for the shortages and "for not ensuring Trump was fully apprised" about the state of Washinton's stockpiles. The White House denied the report, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt calling it "100% fake news", adding that Trump saying "has the utmost confidence" in Hegseth.
