THE UTILIZATION OF THE NEEDLES USED DURING TREATMENT
* Needle insertion. Acupuncture needles are inserted to various depths at strategic points on the body. The needles are very thin, so the insertion usually causes little to no discomfort.
* Needle manipulation. Your practitioner may gently move or twirl the needles after placement or apply heat or mild electrical pulses to the needles.
* Needle removal. In most cases, the needles remain in place for 10 to 20 minutes while you lie still and relax.
There is usually no discomfort when the needles are removed.
POST PROCEDURE
After an Acupuncture session some people will feel relaxed and others energized, but not every patient responds to Acupuncture. If your symptoms don't begin to improve within a few weeks, Acupuncture may not be right for you.
RESULTS
The benefits of Acupuncture are sometimes difficult to measure but many people find it helpful as a means to control a variety of painful and life altering conditions.
Acupuncture has very few side effects if any and it may be to some cases a more suitable approach than more-conventional methods, including some surgical procedures unless there are ruptures or tissue tears
