Does Acupuncture Hurt?
Acupuncture is most often described as virtually
painless or far less painful than plucking out a hair.
The sensations that follow range from nothing at all, to
a mild tingling or a slight numbness. These
sensations subside once the needles are removed.
The needles used for acupuncture are significantly
smaller that the standard hypodermic needle, do not draw
blood and are solid, not hollow.
What About the
Needles?
Acupuncture needles are very thin, about the
thickness of a human hair. The finest quality
stainless steel, disposable, pre-sterilized needles are
used. Theses needles are FDA approved, used one
time during your appointment and disposed.
