Does Acupuncture Hurt?
One of the most common questions we hear is, “Does acupuncture hurt?”
The needles used during acupuncture are extremely fine—much thinner than those used for injections or blood tests Most patients feel very little when the needles are inserted. Some experience a mild tingling, warmth or dull ache, which is considered a normal response during treatment Many patients find the experience deeply relaxing and leave feeling calmer and more comfortable than when they arrived.
