Does Acupuncture Hurt ?

While most people express fear or anxiety of needles before their first treatment,
they are surprised by the pleasantness of the acupuncture treatment. Unlike
hypodermic needles used for injections, acupuncture needles are very fine - about
the thickness of a human hair. There should be very little or no discomfort with
needle insertion. For your safety, only sterile and disposable needles are used.

There are certain transient sensations, not considered painful, associated with
the therapeutic effects of acupuncture which may include euphoria, warmth,
tingling, heaviness, distention, or numbness
