What does acupuncture feel like?
The needles most often used for acupuncture are as thin as your hair and about an inch long. The stainless steel needles, used only once, are sterile and disposable. Typical sensations from acupuncture vary with each person, but generally the insertion of acupuncture needles causes little or no discomfort. Some people feel energy traveling through the body. Others have feelings of heaviness at the needle site or warmth and tingling. Patients may feel completely relaxed and fall asleep during acupuncture treatment and then feel energized later.
Acupuncture is a safe and complementary therapeutic approach that has stood the test of time. Acupuncture treatment is typically once a week for five or six weeks for acute cases.
As with any other treatments, there are no guarantees with acupuncture sessions and results vary on the condition being treated and on the individual. The effects of acupuncture are cumulative. Suggestions may be made in regards to your lifestyle and diet to help support the treatments.
