13 Is acupuncture painful?

This is a much-asked question! Most acupuncture patients feel no pain at all, while others may feel a slight sensation as the needles are inserted. The practitioner puts patients at ease right from the start, and many acupuncturists will play soothing background music to help with the relaxation process. The ultra-fine needles are made from steel and the strictest standards of sterilization are adhered to at all times.
