Certified acupuncture therapy that targets the root cause of your pain — not just where it hurts. Back pain, knee pain, neck pain, nerve pain, headaches, and more. In-clinic at Somajiguda or online consultation.
Book Free ConsultationAcupuncture stimulates specific points along the body's energy pathways, triggering natural pain-relieving responses, reducing inflammation, and improving blood flow to stressed or injured tissue. Our certified acupuncturists use this system with clinical precision across a wide range of pain conditions.
Lower back pain, sciatica, disc problems, spondylosis, and postural pain from desk work — one of the most thoroughly researched applications of acupuncture.
Cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, stiff neck, and tension-related shoulder pain that limits daily movement.
Osteoarthritis, runner's knee, ligament strain, and chronic joint inflammation affecting walking and stairs.
Tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and recurring migraines — acupuncture reduces both frequency and intensity over a course of sessions.
Burning, tingling, or shooting pain from nerve compression, diabetic neuropathy, or post-injury nerve damage.
Reduces joint inflammation and morning stiffness in autoimmune conditions, used alongside medical management.
Dysmenorrhea, endometriosis-related pain, and chronic pelvic pain — acupuncture regulates the prostaglandins that drive period cramps.
Speeds recovery and reduces dependence on pain medication after orthopaedic or abdominal surgeries.
Muscle tears, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and overuse injuries in athletes and active individuals.
Most chronic pain isn't just about where it hurts. It involves a mix of inflammation, muscle tension, nerve sensitisation, and restricted blood flow. Acupuncture addresses all four at once — which is why it often works when medication alone hasn't.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognises acupuncture as effective for over 28 pain-related conditions, including low back pain, neck pain, knee osteoarthritis, and headaches. Multiple systematic reviews confirm it outperforms sham treatment for chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Needle insertion at specific points stimulates A-delta and C nerve fibres, triggering the release of endorphins, serotonin, and enkephalins — the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals. It also reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, relaxes tight muscles, and improves local circulation to speed tissue repair.
Your acupuncturist takes a detailed history of your pain — when it started, what triggers it, the pattern, any associated symptoms, and what you've already tried. A physical assessment identifies the specific points most relevant to your condition.
Fine, sterile single-use needles are placed at precise points. Most clients feel very little during insertion — a mild pressure or warmth is normal and a good sign the point is active. Each session runs 40–50 minutes, with the needles retained for 20–30 minutes while you rest.
Acute pain often resolves within 4–6 sessions. Chronic conditions typically need 8–12 sessions with reducing frequency as improvement holds. Your therapist reassesses progress at each visit and adjusts the plan.
All acupuncturists hold formal certification and practice within clinical protocols.
Every needle is single-use and disposed of after each session. Zero cross-contamination risk.
Acupuncture is combined with physiotherapy, nutrition, or massage where clinically appropriate for faster results.

Acupuncture is safe for most adults — including older patients, people who can't tolerate strong medications, pregnant women (with appropriate adaptations), and those who haven't responded well to physiotherapy alone. It's worth considering if you:
Most people feel very little during needle insertion. You might notice a dull ache, warmth, or tingling at the needle site — these sensations mean the point is active, which is a positive sign. The experience is usually much less uncomfortable than people expect going in.
Acute pain from a recent injury or surgery typically responds within 4–6 sessions. Chronic pain that's been there for months or years generally needs 8–12 sessions, with reducing frequency as improvement is maintained. Your therapist will give you a realistic estimate after the first session.
Yes. Acupuncture works well alongside physiotherapy, medication, and other rehabilitation. It's not a replacement for medical care — it complements it. We coordinate with your existing treatment where relevant.
Needle-based acupuncture requires an in-person visit. However, we offer online consultations for assessment, acupressure self-care guidance, and treatment planning — useful for NRI clients or those who can't visit the clinic.
Yes. Ataha Wellness is primarily a women's health centre, but acupuncture for pain is available to all adults. Pain doesn't discriminate.
