One of the most common questions we get at Mushin Acupuncture is: 'Do the needles hurt?' 🌿
Unlike hypodermic needles used for shots, acupuncture needles are ultra-thin and flexible—about the width of a single strand of hair. Most clients feel a tiny sensation upon insertion, followed by a dull, warm, or tingling feeling known as 'de qi' (the arrival of energy).
Many of our patients actually fall asleep during their treatment!
