Acupuncture involves the precise insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body, chosen based on your individual needs. As the practitioner inserts the needle, they gently adjust it to engage the Qi (energy) at that point. This process may involve feeling for subtle changes in tension, warmth, or sensation beneath the skin, which indicate that the needle has connected with the body’s energy flow.
