What Happens During an Acupuncture Treatment?
During your acupuncture treatment, ultra-thin needles are inserted just under your skin, at exact locations along your body’s energy centers. These energy centers, known as meridians, release energy to heal problem areas.
After the needles are placed, you will relax for 20 to 40 minutes. While you are relaxing, you might feel a slight sensation of tingling, or heaviness, or you may not feel any symptoms.
The ultra-thin needles work to boost blood flow and oxygenation and increase production of your body’s natural anti-inflammatory substances including cortisone, and natural pain relievers including endorphins.
