This is probably one of the first questions people ask me.
The needle itself is very fine, and many patients barely notice it entering the skin. When a tight area of muscle is stimulated, however, you may feel a brief twitch, cramp or deep aching sensation.
It can feel unusual, but the sensation is generally short-lived.
I’ll always explain what I’m doing and encourage you to tell me how you’re feeling throughout the treatment. You are never expected to simply “push through” discomfort.
