Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles in the body to treat an individuals condition. These tiny, sterile needles cause minor to no discomfort. Practitioners precisely place the needles in locations based on the needs of each individual. In some cases, the needles may be manipulated gently by hand or mild electrical pulses may be applied through the needle.
