That really zinged. Did you hit something?

If something feels like a brief electric jolt, we know we’ve found the proper acupuncture point. This can be a fairly strong feeling, but it will subside right away, and is generally a good sign.
If, on the other hand, the sensation around the point feels hot, burning, or sharp, this is generally a sign that the needle is not sitting well—let us know and we’ll fix it up right away.

Keep in mind, no sensation should keep you from resting very comfortably through your treatment. Don’t ever sit in pain while being treated. If something is keeping you from closing your eyes and relaxing for a while, let us know.
