Let's talk about needles !
I know some of you are scared of needles. I understand. Many of you were traumatized by doctor's injections... be it vaccines, medication, or simply having blood drawn. This fear keeps many of you from experiencing the wonderful healing that acupuncture offers. I'm here to offer some comfort.
The needles your doctor uses are a hypodermic syringe. They are like hollow 'straws'. Acupuncture needles are NOT a syringe. Acupuncture needles and solid yet very, very, very fine. In fact, the needles we use are only 0.18mm in diameter (smaller than those in the picture)... that's just 2/10 the width of a dime! They are so fine that they bend like a 'stainless steel dog's whisker'. In fact, they're so thin that several acupuncture needles can fit inside a syringe.
Stop worrying and start healing !
