Abbotsford's #1 Choice For Acupuncture
Acupuncture is generally well tolerated, but it is natural to question if it causes any discomfort. The sensation during acupuncture can vary based on the size and thickness of the needles used. Needle insertion may occasionally result in temporary pain, and when an acupuncture point on your body lacks energy or is overly stimulated, you may experience discomfort during insertion. At times, when the needle is inserted slightly deeper, you may feel a sensation referred to as de qi, or grabbing the energy, which can manifest as a dull ache that spreads along the acupuncture meridian.
Each practitioner brings their own distinct style, blending elements from both Eastern and Western medicine techniques. They will carefully assess your symptoms, behaviors and lifestyle to tailor the best acupuncture Abbotsford treatment that suits you, examining areas of discomfort, the shape, coating and color of your tongue, your complexion, and the strength, rhythm and quality of your wrist pulse.
