You’ll lie comfortably on a treatment table, usually on your back, stomach, or side depending on the treatment area. Needles of varying lengths will be inserted into certain areas of your body. The number of needles utilized varies. When the needle is inserted, you may feel a light pinch. When the needle is in position, you may feel the sensations of tingling or pressure at the needle site. If you feel pain or discomfort during treatment, tell your acupuncturist right away. Once the needles are in place, you will rest for a minimum of 20 minutes. During this time, you may experience a state of deep relaxation and fall asleep. Once the appointment is complete, the needles will be removed and disposed of.
