I tend to get a lot of anxiety and stress lately and one of my good friends suggest to me acupuncture. is it really painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, acupuncture: Is rarely painful. Well, i guess if the acupuncturist had really poor technique that could cause you pain. Most of my patients don't feel the insertions. It is very beneficial for anxiety and stress. Take care.
