Acupuncture is generally not painful. Most people feel minimal discomfort, typically a slight tingling, warmth, or a mild ache when the needles are inserted. The needles used in acupuncture are extremely thin — about the width of a human hair — and are gently inserted into the skin. Once placed, many people find the experience deeply relaxing.However, sensitivity varies, so if you feel uncomfortable at any point, your practitioner can adjust the treatment to ensure you're comfortable.

The number of acupuncture treatments varies depending on the condition, its severity, and how your body responds. For acute conditions, a few sessions may be sufficient. Chronic conditions may require a longer treatment plan.Your practitioner will assess your specific needs and create a tailored treatment plan, adjusting the frequency based on your progress.
