Is it painful?
NO. The needles are all single-used, sterile and as fine as a human hair. They are used to attract or move organic liquids along meridian pathways in the body. Made of a diameter 8-10 times smaller than hypodermic needles used for medication injection, they usually are the cause of pleasant and unique sensations. The majority of patients experience everytime a pleasant and relaxing time with the needles. Some even benefit from a deep, curative sleep during the session. Once tried, acupuncture often becomes habit-forming because it delivers results, on a consistent basis. After all, it is a multi-millenia old approach, proven on successive generations worldwide.
The tool box of Clinic Shanti is full of important elements to complete the needle treatment or to reassure the ones who would have an insurmountable aversion of needles: therapeutic massages, moxibustion, invisible therapeutic magnets, electro-magnetic heat, electrical stimulation, auricular and systemic acupressure, cupping, etc.
