Does Acupuncture Hurt?

While sensations may vary from person to person, one may experience a dull ache, tingling, heat or itch, which dissipates in a few moments. Any discomfort is usually mild and not objectionable.

Most people report that they can feel some sensation but not pain, acupuncture is designed to be a gentle therapy when practiced correctly and by professionals. Many patients  report that at worst it is  like a small insect bite.

Points on the feet can often be more sensitive than the hands and most patients report that there is little sensation in the back or abdomen areas.
