What is the sensation like and how many needles are used?
The sensation most clients experience is only a slight discomfort for a brief period before an overall relaxed sensation. Rarely is pain experienced. Some acupuncture point locations are a little more sensitive than others and for these finer acupuncture needles are used. The number of needles used varies depending upon the condition being treated. This can range from five to twenty for each session. The needles are left in for the duration of treatment which can range from 25 minutes to 45 minutes.
