Does Acupuncture hurt?

At Balance, we specialize in gentle acupuncture techniques designed to ensure a comfortable experience. The fine size of the acupuncture needles and our precise, gentle approach make pain highly unlikely. Many patients do not feel the insertion of the needles, and any sensation typically lasts only a moment. Once the needles are in place, you will relax for a period of rest, during which most patients experience no discomfort and often fall asleep. Your comfort is our priority—if you feel any discomfort at any time, you are encouraged to let the acupuncturist know immediately.
