Is it your (yikes!) first time for needles? I’ve treated thousands of people on their first and I know what you’re wondering about!
The biggest question (of course) is: does it hurt?
Not in my style. Think light touch- so light you might not even notice you’re getting needled. That’s the way I like it on myself, and most patients agree. If you want it to feel intense because somebody told you that’s necessary (it’s not) but no problem. There are many ways to needle, it’s adaptable to you.
2nd biggest question - what happens during the treatment? Think about the last time you deeply relaxed, then multiply it by 5. Acupuncture stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system (the rest & digest part). Patients often fall asleep as well as lose track of time because the brain leaves beta mode (our day-to-day multitasking mode) and enters deeper states like delta, which is a great place for healing to take place. While you sleep :)
The last person who came in to try it for her first time said “this feels like magic.”
What else do you want to know?
