What is Acupuncture? Acupuncture is one of the key components of traditional oriental medicine, which as been practiced in Korean, China and other Asian countries for thousands of years. It involves penetrating the skin with thin metallic needles at specific points on the body to encourage healing, relieve or prevent pain or improve bodily functions. Will it be painful? Most people feel almost no pain (close to a mosquito bite) when acupuncture needles are inserted but people with sensitive skin may feel some pain especially on areas close to the bone. Needles are pre-sterilized, single-use, and manufactured under sterile conditions into foil-backed blister packs with plastic guide tubes.
