What kind of needles are used for acupuncture?
by Primavita
Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin hair-like needles into points located on your body. Acupuncture needles are solid, have a rounded edge, are sterilized and for single use only. They are not like the hypodermic needles you see when you visit the doctor for an injection or blood draw.

I am a licensed, board certified naturopathic physician and acupuncturist in the Greater Seattle Area. I love herbs, flowers and learning more about people’s life stories, as we all have things that we can learn from one another. I feel blessed that nature can always help us reconnect with what really matters.
