NY Acupuncture: First Experience of Needles
If someone had told me a few years ago that I would willingly lie down on a table while a stranger stuck a bunch of needles into me—and that I would actually *enjoy it*—I would have assumed they were describing some kind of medieval torture experiment. But here we are. Welcome to the wonderful world of **acupuncture**. Yes, needles. But before you run away screaming, let me explain something important: acupuncture needles are *nothing* like the ones used for shots at the doctor’s office. Those are basically tiny spears. Acupuncture needles, on the other hand, are so thin that you could probably fit several of them inside the tip of a typical injection needle. Most people feel almost nothing—maybe a tiny pinch or a weird little sensation like a mosquito that politely asked for permission first.
