The sensation experienced during acupuncture can vary from person to person. In general, many people do not find acupuncture to be painful. Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow or Qi (pronounced “chee”). The needles are typically much finer than those used for injections, and they are inserted shallowly into the skin.

Some people report feeling a slight sensation or a dull ache when the needles are inserted, while others may not feel much at all. The sensation is often described as a tingling, warmth, or a feeling of heaviness. Occasionally, there might be a brief moment of discomfort.

It’s essential to communicate openly with your acupuncturist about your comfort level during the treatment. If you are sensitive to needles or concerned about pain, a skilled acupuncturist can adjust their technique to make the experience more comfortable for you. Overall, many people find acupuncture to be a relaxing and therapeutic experience.
