Occasionally pain receptors get triggered but it doesn’t happen very often. Any uncomfortable sensations tend to settle very quickly making acupuncture a relaxing and pleasant experience overall. Some areas of the body are naturally more sensitive then others but many people fall asleep during the treatment, which is great as the body can readjust itself freely without the mind interfering. Stress is one of the major obstacles of getting your hormones into a conception-friendly balance. I, therefore, use very fine high quality acupuncture needles which are highly polished to ensure painless insertion.
