Once the needles are in place, our specialists might subtly adjust or rotate them. They could also introduce warmth or slight electrical vibrations to trigger points of the body.
Typically, the needles stay positioned for about 10 to 15 minutes as you unwind and rest. Removing them is generally pain-free. This treatment relaxes your muscles and body which will promote healing both physically and emotionally.
