Benefits of Acupuncture is to restore a natural balance within the body by regulating energy and blood flow. It does this by using sterile needles into specific acupoints on the body.
Are the needles painful?
Generally, no, treatment doesn't hurt. The acupuncture needles are so fine, like the width of a hair. You can fit 20 acupuncture pins into a syringe.
Some people may feel the acupuncture needles go in, but it's not painful, you just notice it, like a little prick and others will feel nothing. That's how it's been for thousands of years. The needle is inserted very quickly. Once the needle is in, you may feel a dull ache or a tingling sensation, which is normal.
Having a needle inserted into the fingers or toes may feel sharp but this will only last a second or two. Removing the needles doesn't hurt either.
