What is my feeling when treated with acupuncture? Does it hurt?
People experience acupuncture needling differently. Most patients feel only minimal pain as the needles are inserted; some patients feel no pain at all. Patients can expect to feel warmth, tingling or heavy sensation after the needles are inserted. These sensations are attributed to the stimulation of Qi, or energy. Once the needles are in place, there is no pain felt. Most patients fall asleep during needles retaining time.
