Yes. Acupuncture is one of the most researched complementary therapies in the world. The WHO recognises it as effective for over 28 conditions including chronic pain, migraines, fertility support, and anxiety. At Balancepoint, our approach combines classical TCM diagnosis with evidence-informed protocols — not guesswork.

Most patients notice a shift within 3–5 sessions. Acute conditions often respond faster. Chronic conditions — PCOS, fertility, Parkinson’s, alopecia — typically require 8–12 sessions over 4–6 weeks for sustained results. We give you a realistic plan at your first consultation.

Most patients feel minimal to no pain. You may feel a brief pinch, followed by a dull ache, warmth, or tingling — this is called ‘de qi’ in TCM, and it means the needle has engaged the correct point. Sessions are deeply relaxing. Many patients fall asleep on the table.

Yes — fertility is one of our strongest clinical areas. We work with women managing PCOS, irregular cycles, unexplained infertility, and those undergoing IVF. Acupuncture supports hormonal regulation, improves ovarian blood flow, and reduces the stress load that often undermines conception. Dr. Priya Samwani has treated hundreds of fertility cases over two decades.

Dry needling is a simplified Western technique targeting muscle trigger points only. TCM acupuncture is a complete medical system — we use pulse and tongue diagnosis, pattern identification, and advanced lineage systems including Master Tung Acupuncture and Dr. Tan’s Balance Method. These are techniques reserved for formally trained physicians, not weekend course graduates.

Absolutely — and this is one of TCM’s greatest strengths. We regularly complement allopathic care: supporting chemotherapy patients, working alongside IVF cycles, managing neurological conditions alongside neurologist care, and reducing medication side effects. We always review your current treatments and tailor accordingly.

Yes. Balancepoint is Bandra’s only dedicated TCM practice operated by formally licensed physicians. India’s acupuncture space is largely unregulated — many practitioners have minimal training. Dr. Priya Samwani is among India’s most credentialed acupuncturists, trained in Seoul under the lineage of Dr. Park Jae Woo.

Your first session is a full TCM intake: pulse assessment at multiple positions, tongue examination, and detailed questions about your health history, sleep, digestion, and emotional state. This lets us identify your TCM pattern and build a personalised plan. First sessions run 60–75 minutes. Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
