An acupuncture needle is very small, much smaller than a hypodermic/injection needle and is pain free. In fact, approximately 20 acupuncture needles can fit inside the shaft of a hypodermic needle, they are that small.

Not only does acupuncture not cause pain, the benefits of acupuncture has a large span of what it can treat.  Acupuncture can help the prevention of disease, potentially reverse disease, postpone or prevent surgery, relieve pain and discomfort in the body, balance hormones, reduce stress and ease anxiety.

Acupuncture is a successful adjunct therapy to Western conventional treatments, physical therapy and massage.

How big are Acupuncture needles

Many people have a fear of needles for one reason or another. I have heard several times that the fear of needles is the #1 reason why people  have yet to receive acupuncture, even though they are curious about the benefits. Even though many people in their lives benefit in numerous ways that no other therapy has provided for them. In fact, approximately 20 acupuncture needles can fit inside the shaft of a hypodermic needle, they are that small.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture is a technique of insertion and manipulation of fine needles in specific points on the body to achieve therapeutic purposes. Acupuncture has been practiced widely in China for more than 4000 years and is an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine.
