Acupuncture needles are very thin about the thickness of a cat whisker. Most patients feel a slight pinch or prick when the needle is first inserted which goes away after a few seconds. Some patients report feeling sensations of heaviness, warmth, or slight soreness around the needle during treatment. Many patients report not feeling the needle at all. I always work within my patient’s level of comfort, if you are uncomfortable at any point I can adjust or remove the needle. Acupuncture is very helpful for insomnia and treatment can be done with just a few needles.
