What does it feel like?

Acupuncture needles are very thin, about the thickness of a cat’s whisker. They are solid and sterile and used only once then properly disposed of. Sensations vary from person to person, ranging from no sensation to a brief ache or electric sensation that quickly dissipates.  Most clients find the treatment so relaxing they fall asleep on the table.
