Will It Hurt?

Acupuncture is usually painless. Tiny needles the width of a hair (~ 0.18mm in diameter) are inserted at specific points on the body. In most cases, insertion by a skilled practitioner is performed without discomfort. You may feel a tingling, warmth, numbness, or heaviness as the needles interact with your Qi. Many patients find the treatment very relaxing and many fall asleep during the treatment. The needles are sterile and are disposed of after every use.{
