Acupuncture
At Pramukh Advance Physiotherapy Center, we offer holistic healing approaches that blend traditional wisdom with modern physiotherapy practices. One of our specialized services is Acupuncture Therapy — a time-tested technique that promotes natural healing, pain relief, and improved energy flow.
What is Acupuncture Therapy?
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese therapy that involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body. These points, known as acupoints, are located along energy pathways or "meridians" and are used to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms.
At Pramukh, we use acupuncture as part of an integrative treatment plan, especially for managing pain, restoring balance, and enhancing overall well-being.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture helps in:
- Stimulating the nervous system to release pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins
- Improving blood circulation and oxygen flow to targeted areas
- Reducing inflammation and muscle tension
- Balancing energy (Qi) in the body for better physical and mental health
Sessions are safe, virtually painless, and deeply relaxing, often resulting in noticeable improvements even after a few treatments.

Free ask question?
No. The needles used are extremely thin—much finer than injection needles. Most people feel little to no pain, only a slight tingling, heaviness, or warmth around the needle site. Many patients find it relaxing.
Yes. Acupuncturists use sterile, single-use disposable needles. Proper hygiene and safety standards are always followed.
A typical acupuncture session lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the condition being treated and your therapist’s approach. Needles are usually left in place for 15–30 minutes.
This depends on the nature and severity of your condition. Acute issues may improve in a few sessions, while chronic conditions might require ongoing treatment. Your acupuncturist will develop a personalized plan for you.
Most people tolerate acupuncture well. Mild side effects may include:
- Light bruising or soreness at the needle site
- Temporary fatigue or dizziness
- Emotional release or mild euphoria (in some cases) Serious side effects are very rare when performed by a qualified practitioner.
