If you are new to acupuncture, the term “needles” may put you off. But fear not! While technically they are needles, they are so incredibly thin that you will barely notice them. Most patients do not feel them at all, and so far, no one has ever run away! I use them on my 3-year-old twins without complaint. If they can handle it, so can you! While each person experiences acupuncture differently, most people feel a minimal sensation as the needles are inserted. Some report a tingling, warming, heavy or achy sensation. After the needles are inserted, most patients feel very relaxed and often fall asleep. At Wise Wellness Center, we use very thin, sterile, single-use disposable needles approved by the FDA.
