Does Acupuncture hurt?
People experience the needling sensation (movement of the Qi) differently. The Qi sensation is often described as warming, heavy, numb or tingling, and rarely as painful. Once the needles are inserted, they may be manipulated to obtain the Qi sensation. This is how an acupuncturist engages the Qi in order to promote balance in the channels that carry the Qi throughout the body. I take great care to make my patients as comfortable as possible. My patients describe the experience as deeply relaxing while the needles are in place. Many people even fall asleep during treatment. Following treatment it is common to feel a tremendous sense of relaxation and calm.
