Many people fear acupuncture pain, but the reality is much gentler. Learn why most patients don't feel the needle insertion.
Acupuncture needles are exceptionally thin, often compared to horse hair or a guitar string. Because of this, the process is widely considered a painless acupuncture experience. It is common for patients to be pleasantly surprised when they realize fifteen needles have been placed without them feeling a thing.
If you have been avoiding treatment due to needle anxiety, this insight should provide some relief. The physical sensation is minimal, making the procedure much easier than many expect.
