Once your Physiotherapist has identified which points are going to be used, a number of sterile, ultra-fine, single use needles are placed into the points. You may feel a tingling sensation, or a dull ache when the needles are inserted. They will then be left in place for between five minutes and half an hour.
The needles are single patient use and are disposed of immediately after use.
