Painless vs Intense Acupuncture
There are many different styles of acupuncture - some are painless and gentle while others are a bit more "intense".
If you feel what you would describe as an "electric sensation", but it's not painful, let me reassure you, it was not hitting a nerve. Nerves are fairly tough, and it is difficult to actually insert an acupuncture needle into a nerve without using a lot of force.
Some
acupuncture styles suggest having a strong sensation, referred to as the "Qi Sensation" or "Da Qi" at every point,
while others say that patient should not feel it at all. Although some
purists will claim that there is only one right way, it has been proven
repeatedly that both types work equally well.
Do
not hesitate to ask me or any other acupuncturist about our style of
acupuncture - most of us will be glad to let you know about our style
and philosophy, and it is important that it is appropriate for you.
