An Acupuncturist will look at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance. This being the case, health may be restored by using very fine, sterile needles in specific points to stimulate, move or reduce the flow of energy so that the body can begin to heal itself. Many people find the experience of acupuncture extremely relaxing and although some are initially nervous about the needles, most patients would describe acupuncture as a dull sensation and some feel very little sensation at all. Many of my patients love the experience of acupuncture and find it deeply relaxing, some are nearly asleep for most of the treatment!
