Acupuncture generally causes minimal pain. Many people report feeling only a slight sensation as the needles are inserted. Acupuncture needles are much thinner than those used for injections or blood draws, typically about the thickness of a human hair. These fine needles are designed to be virtually painless upon insertion and are used to stimulate specific points on the body to promote healing and wellness. The experience of acupuncture is often described as relaxing, and any initial discomfort usually fades quickly. Everyone feels the movement of Qi (pronounced "chee") differently. Some describe it as an electric sensation. Some says its startling!
