It’s the most frequently asked of all the frequently asked questions about acupuncture…is it painful?Become a paid subscriber! Visit https://notesfromyouracupuncturist.substack.comToday’s episode of the podcast is a listener question episode, and I’m answering the question I’ve been asked more than any other…does acupuncture hurt?The short answer is…not really.The long answer is that it depends on a number of variables, including the practitioner’s style, the type of needle being used, the desired therapeutic effect, and most importantly, what’s happening in your body at that very moment.And what do all those sensations mean, anyway? They could indicate an area of qi stagnation, or they might mean you didn’t sleep well the night before, and they’re often signs of the subtle energetic shifts of healing.If you’ve never tried acupuncture and curious about it feels, or if you’re an acupuncture patient who’s ever wondered why you feel some points more than others, this is the episode for you.Notes from Your Acupuncturist is a reader- and listener-supported publication.
