The number of treatments needed differs from person to person. For complex or long-standing conditions, one or two treatments a week for several weeks may be recommended. For acute problems fewer visits are required. For health maintenance, four sessions a year may be all that is necessary.

Acupuncture needles are very thin and solid and are made from stainless steel. The point is smooth (not hollow with cutting edges like a hypodermic needle) and insertion through the skin is not painful like injection or blood sampling.

People experience acupuncture needles differently. Most patients feel only minimal pain as the needles are inserted; some feel no pain at all. Once the needles are in place, you may feel a deep ache as a sign of Qi movement.

Typically you will feel calm and relaxed: at ease with yourself and everyone around you. On occasion, a particularly strong treatment may make you feel drowsy or tired for a few hours.
