Question

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

The #1 fear of new patients is pain, but acupuncture needles are hair-thin—much smaller than medical injection needles. Most patients feel only a tiny pinch or no pain at all upon insertion. In fact, the sensation ("De Qi") is often described as a dull ache or heaviness that indicates the treatment is working, and many people fall asleep on the table!
