Acupuncture – what is it?

The act of acupuncture involves inserting fine, solid, metallic needles into the skin, which are subsequently stimulated with either electrical stimulation or small, precise hand movements by the practitioner. Not everyone benefits from acupuncture. If you decide to visit an acupuncturist, first discuss it with your doctor. Then, look for a professional who is licensed and has the necessary education and experience.

What sensation does acupuncture produce?

Hair-thin needles are used during acupuncture. Most people claim to only experience minor pain during needle insertion. A pressure or aching sensation may be felt after the needle has been placed. The therapy may involve heating the needles or passing a gentle electric current over them. Acupuncture has been said to give some people an energy boost. Some people claim to be at ease.

Pain during therapy can result from incorrect needle insertion. To avoid infection, needles must be sterilized. It is crucial to obtain acupuncture therapy from a licensed professional for this reason. Acupuncture needles are governed by the FDA under the same single-use sterility standards and good manufacturing procedures as other medical devices.
