Acupuncture needles aren't like injection needles. They are very fine. Ask the acupuncturist to show you before you start if seeing how thin they are would help put you at ease at all.

Accupuncture take a few visits sometimes to feel the 'flow of energy'. You will however feel relaxed during the process. Ask about cupping while there. They give you giant hickies to bring the blood to the surface. I love it, but it looks a lot worse than it is.

Glad you are trying to take charge of your health.

BTW, any mention of pulling balls hurts to read, as a man of course.
