What is an acupuncture treatment like?

Very thin sterile, disposable, stainless steel needles are inserted into specific points along the affected channels in order to disperse the blockage, and mobilize the body's natural immune response. Usually insertion of the needles is painless. You may feel a dull ache, tingling or warm sensation when the needles are stimulated. Most people experience a very relaxing feeling of peace and wellbeing during and after their treatment. Treatments generally last from 30-45 minutes.
