Do the needles hurt?

The feeling caused by acupuncture is different from person to person. Some people feel a slight pinch, a slight ache or a tingling sensation as the needles are inserted, but most feel no pain. The needles are tiny, often slightly larger than a whisker.

Acupuncture was painless and almost immediately helped my back, and he also worked on stress that I was feeling from everyday life.
