Each person is different. During the insertion of needles, some people feel nothing, while others experience a quick twinge, which may be followed by tingling, numbness, heaviness or warmth. Unlike hypodermic needles that are used for injections, acupuncture needles are solid, remarkably thin, and therefore cause very little pain. Needles generally remain in place for 15-60 minutes. During an acupuncture session, individuals often describe a feeling of calm and relaxation. At the end of a session, the acupuncturist quickly removes the needles. This is painless. Symptom relief often occurs immediately, or in the few days that follow a treatment. For complex, longstanding complaints, more than one treatment is required. Generally the longer the problem has been around the more treatment will be needed to get longlasting results.
