What does acupuncture feel like?

To achieve its maximum effect, it is necessary to obtain a ‘needling sensation’, over each acupuncture point that is used. The sensation experienced by the patient will vary. Needling sensation is not painful but it is a dull, heavy, bursting or numb sensation around the site of the inserted needle. The sensation may also travel up or down the channel being treated; the stimulation of an acupuncture point on the right knee may precipitate the experience of a strange burning or numb sensation in the right ankle. Needling sensation is probably best defined by the statement, ‘When needling sensation is experienced the needle no longer feels like a needle!’ Most patients will feel relaxed after the treatment.
