Acupuncture EDH, Folsom, Placerville

Laying on your back for acupuncture can feel stingy, but the needle insertion is momentary. While on the table, you might experience sensations like a dull ache, tingling, or numbness. It's all part of the process.

During an acupuncture session, you'll be on the table for about 20 minutes. After removing the needles, the practitioner flips you over. Pain patches and heat are often applied to the area if needed, before cleaning the skin and inserting needles on the other side.

Many are nervous about needles, and that's understandable. But these acupuncture needles are incredibly fine, more like hairs than typical medical needles. They're so thin, they could almost be tied in a knot!
