Does Acupuncture Hurt?

Pain is of course relative, but overall people report that acupuncture is not a painful procedure. When receiving acupuncture treatments, one may feel a slight poke, a dull ache, or a tingling, but the sensation subsides quickly and these sensations indicate that the acupuncture point is being activated. Many patients even find the treatment relaxing. Overall, patients find that the benefits of acupuncture, especially in the reduction of pain from illnesses or injuries, far exceeds any minor pain incurred during treatment.
