Acupuncture needles are only a little thicker than a human hair and can barely be felt upon entering the skin.
Each one comes individually pre-packaged in a sterile wrapper and is disposed of after use, so there is no risk of infection. After insertion you may feel a sensation of warmth, heaviness, or tingling, but there should be no pain. Most patients find acupuncture very relaxing and even fall asleep during treatment.
Acupuncture for Bells Palsy
I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy (partial facial paralysis) on a Friday – and went to Monica that day. I received a total of 4 treatments over the course of the next week. By day 7, I was seeing some initial improvement. By day 12, my Bell's Palsy symptoms were totally gone. In less than 2 weeks Monica was able to cure what doctors said could take up to 6 months to go away! Thank you, Monica!
