Does Acupuncture Hurt?
Acupuncture does not hurt.
Sometimes there is a slight tingling or heavy sensation.
This sensation may be felt at the acupuncture point, or within a different part of the body. It is not painful or uncomfortable, & it disappears while resting during the treatment, as physiological homeostasis is established.
The sensation is known as dé qì.
