In most cases, the needles remain in place for 10 to 20 minutes while you lie still and relax. Acupuncture needles are very thin, so insertion usually causes little discomfort. There is usually no discomfort when the needles are removed. After acupuncture treatment, you may feel relaxed while others may feel energized.
