In most cases, acupuncturists use six to eight needles during the course of one acupuncture treatment, according to Dr. Lingling Li, a National Board Certified Acupuncturist & Chinese Herbalist and a Licensed Acupuncturist in Pennsylvania. Patients being treated for more than one medical problem may require 10 or more needles. The average acupuncture treatment lasts for 20 to 30 minutes, and the needles used are very fine, around the size of a hair, reports Li.Source:AcuHealing.com: Dr.
