Dry Acupuncture Needling
Dry Acupuncture Needling – Targeted Relief for Muscle Pain and Tension
Dry Needling, also known as Dry Acupuncture Needling, is a modern, evidence-based technique used at RF Physiotherapy Centre to relieve muscle pain, release tension, and improve mobility. Unlike traditional acupuncture, which is based on energy meridians, dry needling targets myofascial trigger points—tight, painful knots in muscles that restrict movement and cause discomfort.
Dr. Aditya Pardasany (M.S.P.T, B.P.T, MIAP – Reg. No. L-27172), with over 18 years of clinical experience, uses this advanced therapy as part of a personalized rehabilitation plan for patients suffering from acute or chronic pain, muscle stiffness, sports injuries, and postural imbalances.
The treatment involves inserting fine, sterile needles directly into the affected muscle or trigger point.
This stimulates a local twitch response, which helps release tight muscle fibers, improves blood flow, and reduces inflammation. As a result, patients experience immediate relief from pain and tightness, along with improved range of motion and function.
Common conditions treated with Dry Needling include:
Neck and shoulder pain
Lower back pain
Tennis/golfer’s elbow
Headaches and migraines
Sciatica
Muscle strains
Joint pain
Postural tension
Dry needling is often combined with other physiotherapy techniques such as manual therapy, electrotherapy, KT taping, and therapeutic exercise to accelerate healing and enhance outcomes.
The procedure is generally safe, minimally invasive, and well-tolerated. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief muscle twitch or dull ache during insertion, followed by noticeable relaxation and pain reduction. Treatment sessions are short, and recovery time is minimal, making it a convenient option for busy individuals.
At RF Physiotherapy Centre, we prioritize precision, hygiene, and patient comfort during every dry needling session. We also take time to explain the process and answer any concerns, ensuring a confident and informed experience.
Whether you’re an athlete, a working professional, or someone dealing with chronic muscle pain, Dry Acupuncture Needling can be a powerful tool in your recovery journey.
