A member asked:
I know those needles acupuncturists use are super thin, but still, how much do you feel it when they put it in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often don't feel: Yes, the needles are uber thin. My patients usually don't feel the needle insertions. Using the "push finger" technique can prevent feeling the insertion. There are a few master point locations that can be uncomfortable but there are usually alternate sites that can be needled.
