Acupuncture HOW IT FEELS:
Insertion of the slender needles goes unnoticed by some, and to others may feel like a small pinch followed by a sensation of tingling, numbness, ache, traveling warmth, or heaviness. Sometimes people feel QI moving at a distance from the point of insertion. Needles remain in place for twenty to forty minutes.
Usually, relaxation and an elevation of spirit accompanies treatment. It is as normal to want to continue resting as it is to be immediately energized. Some notice a relief of symptoms and feel more energetic in the days that follow treatment. Also, the effect is accumulative.
Most people are pleased to find that treatments are not uncomfortable and even look forward to the sessions.
Because Chinese medicine reverberates in the Body and Spirit, it can be a catalyst for subtle yet far-reaching change.
