DOES IT HURT?

No. well yes, but not really … let me explain. You live in a living breathing sensing machine, and this is a good thing. In fact having your senses in tact is a sign of health! I won’t pretend like receiving acupuncture is a completely senseless observation-less experience. Let me be clear the goal is never pain, but you will have sensations and these might feel like dull, heavy, achy, warm. Feeling these sensations is what we call the Da Qi, the body’s sensing and awareness of the acu needle is turned on and the needle and your body are in communication. If you have ever seen images of a miccilim all light up and connected imagine plugging into that. Your circulatory system is working to pump blood to that area, the arrival of blood warms the area, the deeper layers of the muscle fibers relax,

Ultimiatly Your feelings will always be realitive to you, and that is why every patient has a different pain tolerance.
