What Happens When You Have Acupuncture?
People are frightened by the thought of acupuncture but they don’t know what Acupuncture can do and feel that it takes a great deal of courage to inflict 'the needles' on themselves. The first, and probably the most important fact to understand about acupuncture, is that it is not a frightening experience. It does involve the insertion of fine filiform needles(Which is thin like hair) through the skin, and most acupuncturists use between six and eight acupuncture needles at each treatment session. The needles use dare smaller not like injection needles; in fact an acupuncture needle fits into the central hole of a normal injection needle. Acupuncture needles have a dowelled end, not a cutting end like most hypodermic needles, and therefore are far less likely to cause tissue damage or bruising when inserted in skin.
