Does Acupuncture Hurt?
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin comparable to a strand of hair which makes the treatment gentle and well tolerated. Some areas may be more sensitive than others, but most people experience minimal discomfort or none at all. Many patients describe acupuncture as a deeply relaxing experience.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
Acupuncture is most effective when done consistently. While every person responds differently, most individuals benefit from weekly treatments for 4-6 sessions to see noticeable improvement. For long-term maintenance, sessions every 2-4 weeks can help sustain results and prevent recurrence of symptoms.
