It is common that first time patients worry about the size and feeling of the acupuncture needles. Which I totally understand, as the only experience they’ve had with needles so far is at the doctor’s office for either administered medicine (such as vaccines) or to collect blood.
Thankfully for us, acupuncture needles are way thinner and softer. It isn’t hollow as it does not need to physically transfer anything in or out of the body, unlike hypodermic needles (seringue). The function of an acupuncture needle is to stimulate the muscle/energy.
The sensation describe by patients of course varies from one to another but is mostly described as a mild pinching sensation that disappears instantly to procure a relaxing state in the body and mind.
Overall an acupuncture treatment is non invasive and a highly relaxing and resting experience.
