Acupuncture Points and Needles Pain Relief
The term “acupuncture” describes a procedure that involves stimulation of anatomical points on the body using a variety of techniques. The acupuncture technique that is most often used in the U.S. involves penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles that are manipulated by hand or electrical stimulation.
Acupuncture has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for thousands of years, and is an integral part of their traditional medicine.
Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, and hair-thin. Most experience no or minimal pain when the needles are inserted at the “yin/yang meridian points“.
Acupuncture treatments may take several weeks or more. You may feel energized by these treatments, or relaxed.
Soreness or pain may result from improper needle placement, movement or a defective needle. Thus, it is extremely important to have your treatments done by a qualified acupuncture practitioner.
Infections from non-sterile needles and organ puncturing resulting from improper needle point insertion are known complications. Again, reduce your risk by seeking a qualified practitioner.
