Whether the acupuncture is painful or not depends on two aspects, one is the doctor and the other is the patient. Generally speaking, the needle into the body will produce soreness, numbness, swelling, heaviness, pain and other sensations, these are the reaction of the needles to get gas, is a good performance, is to test whether this acupuncture “qualified” an indicator, if the needle into the body without any feeling, that means that this acupuncture is “less qualified “, this doctor’s needling technique is questionable. Of course, there are also no matter how the needles do not feel the obvious situation, this is another story. A good doctor, his needles into the patient’s body, will make the patient’s local produce or sore, or numb, or swelling, or heavy, or painful feeling, this feeling is not present in the patient’s epidermis, this feeling comes from the needle tip to the site, a good acupuncturist, will make the needle tip to a large area to produce these kinds of feelings, the site to produce the feeling can reach 5 cm in diameter, or even larger. This feeling is a very comfortable feeling, a feeling of stirring up a sinking disease, a feeling of massaging and plucking a strained shoulder or back. A poor doctor, the patient is brought to the pain of the needle, the pain of the needle, this pain is very uncomfortable pain, this pain is on the surface of the skin, is a kind of pulling skin stabbing pain, and the above-mentioned feel very comfortable “pain” occurs in a different place, the above-mentioned pain occurs in the deep layer, that is, the site of the needle tip. The pain mentioned above occurs in the deeper layers, that is, in the area where the needle tip reaches, that is, the area with the disease. Of course, a relaxed patient will cooperate with the doctor and reduce the probability of painful needling. A very nervous patient, his kind of bad pain is going to happen a lot. So, the pain of acupuncture is not absolute, good pain can relieve the patient’s pain. Bad pain is caused by the patient’s nervousness and the doctor’s poor technique. If you can do acupuncture with total relaxation and get a good acupuncturist to stick the needles, then you basically won’t be bothered by pain!
