  • Does it hurt when acupuncture needles are inserted in the body?

    Occasionally, you may feel a very slight sting on insertion if the needle stimulates a surface nerve. This is less than you will feel with a hypodermic needle which are meant for cutting and slicing tissue. Acupuncture needles are filiform meaning no slicing edge. Many points you will feel nothing at all or simply a pressure, warmth or slight dull ache at he point or along the channel. The amount of stimulation and sensation will vary according to practitioner as well as patient sensitivity levels. We consistently receive feedback that it really doesn't hurt at all and the relaxation effect is totally worth it. However, some people are simply very sensitive and feel more. A more gentle technique can be used in these situations to make it more enjoyable. READ MORE

  • Does acupuncture raise blood pressure?

    In general Acupuncture will lower blood pressure, especially after time. A good acupuncture session has a deeply relaxing effect that should have a positive effect on BP. It is possible your friend received a poor treatment or that there were other factors at play. It would be very rare to see blood pressure go up unless a person had a low blood pressure issue.
