Most patients find acupuncture to be a comfortable and deeply relaxing experience. The needles used are extremely fine, so you may feel a brief tingling, warmth, heaviness, or a mild sensation as they are inserted. These feelings are usually temporary and are considered a normal response to treatment.

Many patients become so relaxed that they even fall asleep during their session. Acupuncture is designed to stimulate the body's natural healing response while promoting relaxation and restoring balance, making it a gentle and well-tolerated treatment for most people.
