FAQS...

Does it hurt?
Often people are interested in acupuncture, but are afraid of needles. However, the tiny, sterile, disposable filament needles used for acupuncture bear no resemblance to painful hypodermic needles, and insertion is virtually painless. Brief needling sensations vary from a pinching or stinging sensation, to a numbness or distension and are a sign that the treatment is having a positive effect. In fact, most people find acupuncture treatments relaxing and refreshing.
