I'm very scared of getting acupuncture. Will it be painless?

Today's acupuncture needles are as thin as a human hair (0.2mm), so you'll only feel a slight prick, not the pain you might have experienced in the past. However, if you're still apprehensive, various alternatives are available, including adhesive needles (sticker needles), laser acupuncture, and thermal therapy.

공포심으로 인해 근육이 긴장하면 통증을 더 강하게 느낄 수 있습니다. 마음을 편안하게 가지셔도 좋습니다.

  • 무통 침관: 침 삽입 시 통증을 줄여주는 튜브를 사용하여 빠르게 시술합니다.
  • 소아 침: 아이들에게는 피부를 찌르지 않고 문지르거나 두드리는 특수 침을 사용합니다.
  • 효과: 약물 없이 통증을 제어하고 신경을 조절하는 가장 안전하고 효과적인 치료법입니다.
💡 심호흡

침을 맞을 때 숨을 깊게 내쉬면 근육이 이완되어 통증이 훨씬 덜 느껴집니다.
