Questions & AnswersAcupuncture needles usually come in sealed packages. They’re sterile, single use disposable items. Like this package here, this package contains several. And most modern acupuncture tend to use guide tubes, this allows for the quick and painless insertion of the needles. It’s the skin layer where people get a sensation and using a guide tube that is basically eliminated. This patient has had some back pain and so I’m doing a few points on the low back to help with that. The needles is tapped in, you can see it’s very shallow, almost going to fall over. And that’s the typical placement of an acupuncture needle. This patient would relax here with this and a few other needles for about fifteen or twenty minutes and then they’d be removed. It doesn’t feel like much, in fact during the fifteen or twenty minutes most people fall asleep.
