"Is acupuncture like getting a shot?"
"Does acupuncture hurt?"
"I'm afraid of needles!"
These are the most common phrases that I hear from people who inquire about acupuncture. Fear of needles is one of the main reasons why many people are reluctant to try acupuncture, which is unfortunate because profound results can be attained through this ancient medical art.
Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and can barely be felt when inserted. They are pre-sterilized and intended for one-time use. Once the needles are withdrawn, they are disposed of in a designated sharps container. Needles are NEVER reused!
To ease any fears about acupuncture I have included a demonstration video below. You will find that the technique is very gentle and not scaryat all. The needles are difficult to see because they are so tiny!
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or if you would like to schedule a consultation or appointment.
