Acupuncture feels nothing like receiving an injection or getting blood drawn. Acupuncture needles are very fine and flexible, about the diameter of a human hair. Sometimes you don’t even know the needle has been inserted. Patients find the treatments very relaxing and many fall asleep. They wake up refreshed and energized!
In the hands of a comprehensively trained acupuncturist, you are safe! Acupuncturists are trained in the prevention of transmission of blood-borne pathogens and only use needles that are sterile and disposable
