Acupuncture needles are much thinner than the regular needles used to inject substances like vaccines or insulin. The needles are so fine, that when an acupuncture needle is inserted into the skin many patients feel only a mild pinching sensation.

Acupuncture treatment is typically pain free. Acupuncture needles are solid and very small in diameter unlike needles used to give shots or draw blood which are designed to tear the skin so that they can either withdraw blood or inject medication.

Most patients have stated that there is little or no pain as very fine, sterile, disposable needles are used. Treatments are available without the use of needles through Asian Bodywork Therapy.
