What will you feel while receiving my acupuncture treatment?
Acupuncture needles are sterile one-time-use-only disposable needles that are very fine and flexible, about the diameter of a human hair. Needles are not usually felt at all and sometimes they may illicit a sensation usually described as a tingling, a sense of warmth, pressure or even a slight flow of energy at the point(s). These mild sensations quickly subside after insertion.
A few minutes after the needles are inserted, most clients report feeling a sense of deep mind and body relaxation. Many often fall asleep, awaken once the needles are removed and leave feeling very calm and refreshed. It is very common to experience a very restful night's sleep the evening after a treatment.
