What do the needles feel like?

The needles used to stimulate acupuncture points are very slender, barely beyond the thickness of several human hairs. The finest quality solid stainless steel, pre-sterilized, single-use, disposable needles are used. The acupuncturist gently inserts the needle just beneath the skin's surface. The sensation from the needle varies from person to person. You may feel nothing at all, a quick pinch or perhaps a dull ache or tingle. Most treatments involve only 2 to 6 needles.
