A fine, sterile needle is placed into the trigger point to release tension, improve blood flow and switch off the pain — reaching what manual therapy alone often cannot. **Q: Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?** A: 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. **Q: Is dry needling safe?** A: 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. **Q: Does dry needling hurt?** A: 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. **Q: Which conditions does dry needling help?** A: 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. **Q: How many dry needling sessions will I need?** A: 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. **Q: How much does dry needling cost?** A: Rs 1,000 per session, the same clear rate as every other service at Life Care Physio.
