Feel the Qi !

The needles are approximately the size of a cat’s whisker. The sensation caused by an acupuncture needle varies.  You may experience a vague numbness, heaviness, tingling or dull ache where the acupuncture needle has been inserted.  

Sometimes people experience a little pain as the needles are inserted, or a sensation of energy spreading and moving around the needle. 

This is called the “Qi sensation”.  All these reactions are good and a sign that the treatment is working.  The depth of insertion varies from person to person.  

After treatment, you may feel energized or may experience a deep sense of relaxation and well-being.
