How Acupuncture feels?
Most people do not believe that acupuncture can be painless. Different sensations such as soreness, numbness, distending, warmth and pressure may be felt, but the energetic sensation differs from pain. People often comment that the feeling is unfamiliar but pleasant and relaxing. Acupuncture needles are very thin, about the size of a thick hair. Over the centuries, refined needle insertion techniques have been developed which enable the skilled acupuncture practitioners to place an needle with little or no sensation.
