Dry Needling Therapy
Dry Needling Therapy
Dry Needling is a modern and highly effective technique used to treat muscle pain, tension, and movement impairments. At Dr. Omair’s Ortho Physio Clinic, this therapy is performed by trained physiotherapist Dr. Omair Khan (MPT – Orthopaedics), as part of an integrated approach to pain relief and rehabilitation.
Dry Needling involves inserting very thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points or tight knots within the muscle tissue. These trigger points are often responsible for referred pain, restricted movement, or chronic tightness. By targeting these areas, the therapy helps release muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve overall function.
Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine, Dry Needling is rooted in modern anatomical and neurophysiological principles.

Neck and back pain
Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff injuries
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow

At our clinic, Dry Needling is often combined with other therapies such as orthopedic physiotherapy, IASTM, hijama, and acupuncture to provide a well-rounded, customized treatment plan. Each session begins with a detailed assessment of your muscle and joint health to ensure accurate and safe needle placement.
Most patients experience relief within just a few sessions, along with improved flexibility and reduced dependence on medications. The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort and no downtime required.
Dr. Omair’s Ortho Physio Clinic prioritizes safety, precision, and patient comfort in every treatment. With a gentle and skilled approach, we aim to help you move better, heal faster, and get back to your routine pain-free.
If you’re struggling with persistent muscle pain or movement restriction, Dry Needling Therapy could be the solution you’ve been looking for.
