During the acupuncture treatment, you may feel a slight pinching sensation as the needles are inserted. Our practitioners are highly trained to ensure painless needle insertion, and we take pride in this. As the needle is inserted to the proper depth, you may feel a sensation of distension. While your body is balancing, you may experience some unusual sensations such as cool or warm sensations, tingling, or buzzing, but none of these should be painful. If a needle feels uncomfortable, please let your practitioner know immediately, and they will adjust it so that you can relax and enjoy the benefits of your treatment. Acupuncture is a very relaxing experience, and many patients even fall asleep during their sessions.
