About Needles...
The needles used in Acupuncture are:

about 8 of them to fit inside the needles that are used to
draw blood or give injections.

- Sterilized, single-use needles, disposed of immediately after withdrawal.
- Few. Most people generally receive between 2 and 8 per treatment.

The sensations people experience when receiving acupuncture are:
- Sensations, not pain. Sensation implies positive connotations, and consequently
is more empowering and relaxing than if related to as pain.

- Wide-ranging. Often, people describe the sensations as:
- Warm.
