No. One misconception about acupuncture is that it hurts, so some people don’t want to try acupuncture. The treatment isn’t meant to hurt, though you may experience some sensations during your treatment, pain should not be one of them, and if there is any actual discomfort, we address it immediately.  The sense that is felt can be heavy, throbbing, or jumping, which is a positive response.

One of the remarkable things about acupuncture is that it has no side effects. Sometimes, a slight temporary mark may seem at the position of an acupuncture needle.  Compared to the long list of side effects for the regular pharmaceutical and western treatment, acupuncture has less risk!

Acupuncture seeks to activate specific points along with your nervous system. Once the points are activated, the specialist reconditions the system to formulate new healing habits.

Because this process is different for each person, the number of sessions required for this to occur can be different. Some people only need one session. Others may need more sessions to overcome the pain, stress, anxiety, or other symptoms.

Therefore, you should not be surprised if your first acupuncture session does not make you better instantly. Acupuncture is often a process of relieving pain, not a quick fix.

Acupuncture is extensively recognized as one of the safest and non-invasive forms of treatment. The needles are single-use, separately packed, and sterile. Acupuncturists undergo widespread training and are controlled by the individual states’ medical boards.
