Our commonest experience of needles is the
hypodermics that the Doctor uses, which are big and very thick. Acupuncture needles on the other hand are very fine -they are the thickness of a human hair about 0.40 gauge. and about 1 inch long. In fact they are so fine that if they were longer you could tie a knot in them!! Acupuncture needles are sterile, and used only once. Acupuncture needles need to be very fine because they are only going to go into the skin and muscle. They do not hurt like hypodermics do.
Needle sensation - most people feel a slight sensation as the needle goes through the skin, no worse than a prick with a sewing needle. Then as the needle goes into the acupuncture point a momentary slight ache can be felt. Our image of Acupuncture is that needles are left in the skin at different places all over the body. (This is the only way you can take a photograph of the process) In fact the Acupuncture needles are often inserted singly, turned and then removed straight away. I can also use point stimulators, and Electro-Acupuncture which involves applying a minute imperceptible electric stimulation to the needle, this method is frequently used for pain relief. Sometimes Moxabustion may be applied to the needle handles. I will discuss with you any procedures that I am going to use and demonstrate them. I will make you feel as comfortable as possible with the Acupuncture techniques used. Pain is relative, and everyone is different. However I am happy to let you try out how a needle feels, before coming for treatment I find that even completely needle phobic people find that Acupuncture is OK. |
