Once, the pain goes away, they want to come for continuing to keep  the optimal condition of health.

Patients often worry that acupuncture will hurt.  The needles are width of a hair and are designed to slide effortlessly into the body.  The tip is even shaped to increase the patients comfort.  Some patients do not feel any sensation when the needle is inserted; others describe what feels like a mosquito bite or small pinch.  Sometimes,  there is a sensation of tingling, warmth, coolness or heaviness at the site of insertion as well as radiating from the point as the Qi travels throughout the body. The recent study shows that the patient who took coffee feels more pain.
