What Does it feel like?

Most people report either not feeling the needles at all, or noticing them briefly as they are inserted.
​
​
  • ​Some points may have more sensation than others, a deep dull heavy sensation or a quick little pinch may be noticeable.
  • By the time all the needles are inserted, you generally do not feel any of them and will be easing into a sense of calm relaxation. You will rest with the needles for 5-30 minutes. 
  •  The benefits of acupuncture start immediately; after your treatment you could experience an excellent night of sleep, higher energy, more focus, less stress, improved digestion and a reduction in pain.

  • Acupuncture needles are extremely fine - about the width of a human hair.
  •  Acupuncture needles are sterile and single use ​​
