Generally speaking, Acupuncture should not be painful. You may feel a dull ache, perhaps a feeling of electricity or tingling, a sensation of heat or cold, or it may just feel strange. At no time, though, should you have any sensation that is beyond your tolerance level. The Acupuncturist at the Westoe Practice finds the vast majority of clients report that, after a while, they begin to feel a real sense of wellbeing.

The short answer is no. A word of caution though. You may find your medication working more efficiently since Acupuncture has a tendency to remove blockages and balance the energetic pathways. If your medication is dosage sensitive, ensure you see your Doctor to monitor your dosages. It is never a good idea to stop taking medication without your Doctor’s guidance. Western pharmaceuticals are potent. In many cases you need to reduce dosages gradually to avoid unpleasant reactions. Always liase with your GP.
