The needles don't hurt at all, which I found amazing. I too have anxiety--I am know to pass out while having blood drawn, but these didn't hurt at all.
Basically, I just laie down and the dr puts nedles in my feet, ankles, calfs, hands, forearms, ears, and the top of my head. Some of these areas are for diegestion. Others are for my rear and for pain relief. I thik the tops of the head spots are suppposed to be for endorphin release. Occasionally, I will get a back treatment or a tailbone treatement which involves some electrodes. It feels like a deep massage of the area.
When I leave, I usually feel better than when I came in. I feel more relaxed and less in pain, so I trust my guy and just let him decide what needs to be done for my problems.
