When pain refuses to settle and muscles stay tight no matter how much rest you take, it can feel frustrating and exhausting. Many people live with constant knots, stiffness, or deep muscle pain without realising that the problem lies within trigger points hidden deep inside the muscle. This is where Dry Needling in Nagpur at Anandi’s Physiotherapy plays a powerful role in recovery.
Dry needling is not about masking pain. It is about releasing the root cause of muscle tension and helping the body heal naturally, safely, and effectively.
What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a specialised physiotherapy technique used to treat muscle pain, tightness, spasms, and movement restrictions. It involves inserting very fine, sterile needles into specific tight bands of muscle called myofascial trigger points.
These trigger points are often responsible for:
The needles used in dry needling do not contain any medication. The term “dry” simply means that no substance is injected into the body.
How Dry Needling Works
Trigger points develop when muscles are overworked, injured, stressed, or held in poor posture for long periods. These tight knots restrict blood flow and irritate nearby nerves, leading to pain and stiffness.
Dry needling works by:
Many patients feel a brief twitch response when the needle reaches the trigger point. This response is a sign that the muscle is releasing and resetting.

At Anandi’s Physiotherapy, dry needling is used as part of a personalised treatment plan to manage a wide range of conditions, including:
Dry needling is especially effective for people who feel their muscles are constantly “tight” or “knotted.”
Dry Needling vs Acupuncture: Understanding the Difference
Although dry needling employs the same type of needle utilised in acupuncture, the techniques and goals are entirely different:
Modern muscle and anatomy research directed the development of the dry needling technique, which aims to release trigger points (knots) and restore the normal function of a muscle. In contrast, acupuncture is founded on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine energy flow.
Dry needling at Anandi’s Physiotherapy is always performed in conjunction with other physiotherapy methods and is integrated into a comprehensive movement-based rehabilitation programme.
