Question

Does Acupuncture Hurt ? Does it work ?

Answer 1

My friend got acupuncture done and he said it worked for him. Though he did say that depending where the needles were placed determined how much it hurt, he said it didn't hurt as much as he thought it would.

Answer 2

It depends on where the needles are placed.  Most areas you can't even feel them go in.  In areas that are blocked you are more likely to feel it a bit for a second going in and when the acupuncturist twists the needle.  I had it done for sinus congestion.  It takes several sessions, but it did work.  Once the needles are in it's VERY relaxing.

Answer 3

feels like a tiny pinch.   I never have felt any real pain from it.  Acupuncture is used to focus chi on the meridian lines of the body and directthis chi in the way necessary to promote healing.
