The fear of needles is always there in the mind of people. Acupuncture needles are very thin and while inserting most people feel an intense sensation, but they won't experience much pain like inserting intramuscular injections.
You should rest 10 to 20 mins once the needle is inserted.
It depends on the ailment for which you are getting treatment. For joint pains, mostly you will get instant relief on the first session itself. Whereas for other diseases, after two or three sessions you will start to notice the improvements. Eventually, you will observe an overall sense of wellness in psychological and physical health and within a few weeks or months, you will get rid of the disease completely.
After the first session, some people can feel wiped out. Sometimes they may feel a slight increase in the body temperature which may subside only for few hours. But after few more sessions, one can see positive results, and gradually the disease or ailments will get cure soon.
One of the great advantages of acupuncture is that it is very safe. Other than during menstrual cycles and third-trimester pregnancy women, there are no side effects.
