Dry needling releases tight, painful muscle knots called trigger points: a fine, sterile, single-use needle is placed into the trigger point to release tension, improve blood flow and switch off the pain. It is not acupuncture — it is anatomy-led, targeting the specific muscle driving your symptoms. Performed by our trained physiotherapist and combined with exercise, sessions are Rs 1,000.

No. Dry needling is anatomy-led: we assess which muscle is driving your pain and needle that specific trigger point. Acupuncture is a separate tradition based on meridian points. The needles look similar; the reasoning behind them is not.
Yes, when it is done properly. Treatment is performed by our trained physiotherapist using a fresh, single-use sterile needle every time, after an assessment of whether it is appropriate for you.
The needle itself is very fine. You may feel a brief twitch or a deep ache as the trigger point releases, which most patients describe as satisfying rather than painful, and mild soreness can follow for a day.
Muscle knots and trigger points, chronic neck and back tension, sports and overuse pain, headaches and jaw tightness, shoulder and hip pain, and sciatic or nerve-related pain.
Many patients feel looser straight after the first session. How many you need depends on how longstanding the problem is — and we always combine needling with exercise so the relief lasts rather than fading.
