The number one question asked, is it painful? People think of getting a blood test and suspect acupuncture will be similar. So, let’s look at this logically. Let’s compare the needles used. The picture below shows acupuncture needle versus medical syringe. An acupuncture needle is 0.25mm in thickness while a medical syringe 29mm. That is a medical syringe is 116 times thicker than an acupuncture needle! So, most clients describe acupuncture as a pain-free treatment or of it having a very mild discomfort level. Once the needles are in there is no pain and the treatment is very relaxing.
