During the interview and based on the diagnosis, the acupuncturist will discuss your physical condition and any concerns you may have about the acupuncture treatment. The treatment will start after the interview has been completed. Acupuncture needles are very fine and are considered to be relatively painless when inserted by a skilled practitioner. People often comment that the feeling is unfamiliar but pleasant and relaxing. All needles used in our clinic are disposable. This means that only sterile needles are used on a patient, and each needle is only used once. Afterwards, the needles are discarded.
