Sometimes people would like to have acupuncture treatment having heard how beneficial it is for many problems, but they are afraid of having acupuncture needling. This is mainly because they think it will be very painful and some may have concerns around the cleanliness of the needles.
These days the acupuncture regulatory bodies lay down strict guidelines for the use of acupuncture needling in their members’ practices. You will find that almost all qualified acupuncturists will use disposable needles that are only used once. This safeguards both the patients and the practitioners.
Most acupuncture needles are very fine and can hardly be felt when inserted by an experienced acupuncturist. Naturally there are one or two places on the body that are especially sensitive to acupuncture needling. But there are always othere methods that can be used if a person is especially sensitive. A simple acupuncture stimulant pen that sends a mild charge into the acupuncture point when pressed is a simple and very acceptable solution.
Children who are nototiously afraid of needles find this method very easy to tolerate. So adults certainly have no problems with it.
In the hands of an experienced practitioner, acupuncture needling is well accepted and the improvement in well being as well as their health problem, make it a treatment that most patients really look forward to.
