One of the most common concerns I hear before treatment is…
“Does acupuncture hurt?” 🤍
For most people, acupuncture is actually deeply relaxing. Many patients feel calm, heavy, sleepy, or even drift off during treatment.
That said, everybody experiences treatment differently, and your comfort is always my priority.
If anything ever feels uncomfortable, I will always adapt the treatment, adjust or change the needle, whilst still maintaining the effectiveness of your session. You should feel safe, supported, and listened to throughout your treatment experience.
Acupuncture is not about “pushing through” discomfort. It’s about creating space for your body to relax, regulate, and heal.
If you’ve been curious about acupuncture but feeling nervous, I hope this offers a little reassurance 🤍
