I've never had acupuncture. What should I expect?

Question 3

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Please wear loose comfortable clothing so that you can be comfortable moving and sitting and so acupuncture points are accessible. Points will be on extremities, ears, head, and occasionally chest and abdomen.

Question 4

Does acupuncture hurt?

Accepted Answer

Acupuncture is generally a very calming experience but some points can be felt on insertion. Any uncomfortable sensations are infrequent, mild, and brief. You may feel a pressure or achy sensation on location due to muscle tension which then gives way to relaxation.

What if I can't relax or meditate?
