Does acupuncture hurt?
Acupuncture needles are very thin, and most people feel little to no pain when they are inserted. You may feel sensations such as tingling, a mild ache/pressure, or heaviness.
What to expect from acupuncture session.
During an acupuncture session, a registered practitioner will insert needles into specific points on the body, which are determined based on the individual’s condition and symptoms. The insertion of the needles is generally not painful, although some people may experience a slight sensation or tingling at the insertion site. Once the needles are in place, they may be gently manipulated by the TCM practitioner. The needles are left in place for a certain period of time, typically around 20 to 30 minutes, while you rest comfortably.
