What does acupuncture feel like?
Needles used in acupuncture are as fine as human hair. Most individuals claim to only experience minor discomfort as the needle is introduced. A pressure or aching feeling is felt after the needle has been entered to the proper depth. During the procedure, needles may be heated or exposed to a gentle electric current. Some claim that acupuncture gives them more energy. Others claim to be at ease.
During therapy, painful needle insertion can occur. Sterilization of needles is necessary to stop illness. For this reason, it’s crucial to get acupuncture therapy from a licensed professional. Similar to how it governs other medical equipment, the FDA enforces single-use sterility standards and good production practices for acupuncture needles.
Instead of needles, other forms of stimulation are sometimes used over the acupuncture points, including:
- Heat (moxibustion)
- Pressure (acupressure)
- Friction
- Suction (cupping)
- Impulses of electromagnetic energy
How does acupuncture help your body?
It is believed that acupuncture points activate the central nervous system. Chemicals are then released into the musculature, spinal nerve, and brain as a result. These molecular alterations may activate the body’s inherent capacity for mending and foster both physical and psychological wellbeing.
