What Does it Feel Like?

Acupuncture is performed using hair-thin needles. Most people feel a minimal amount of pain, more a pricking sensation as the needle is inserted.
Once the needle is inserted, most do not feel anything. Depending on the practitioner, needles may be heated, or mild electric current may be applied to them.
If the needle is not placed properly, it’s likely that you may feel discomfort or pain.
It’s important to make sure you receive treatment from a qualified acupuncture practitioner.

The FDA regulates acupuncture needles under its standards of sterility. The needles must be sterilized to prevent infection.

What should you look for before trying acupuncture?

The practise of acupuncture is not fully recognized by Western medicine, and before trying it, there are several considerations you should keep in mind/
Talk to your doctor before trying acupuncture and see if they recommend it for your particular ailment.
Review all medicines, prescription and over-the-counter that you are taking with your practitioner.
Find a licensed acupuncture practitioner and look for a referral.
Not all states require acupuncturists to obtain a license to practice. Although not all certified acupuncturists are doctors, the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture can provide a referral list of doctors who practise acupuncture.
Some insurers cover the cost of acupuncture while others do not. Find out if acupuncture is covered by your insurance before starting treatment.
