Is Acupuncture Painful?

Hesitation is completely natural if you are nervous about needles. However, the honest answer is that for the vast majority of our clients, acupuncture isn't painful at all. In fact, many are surprised by just how deeply relaxing an acupuncture sessions feels; it is common for patients to fall into a "needle nap" during their session.
