The number of sessions required depends on the type and intensity of the pain, as well as the age of the condition. For acute pain, improvements can be seen after just 1–3 sessions. In chronic cases, a protocol of 6–12 sessions, performed weekly or bimonthly, is recommended. In some situations, maintenance sessions, once a month, are also useful to prevent relapses.

Acupuncture pain is one of the most sought-after forms of alternative therapy, due to its effectiveness in relieving and managing acute and chronic pain. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture helps to release tension, improve circulation and balance internal energy (Qi). More and more patients are choosing acupuncture pain as a complementary or even primary treatment method, due to its rapid effects and lack of side effects of classical medication.
Types of pain treated by acupuncture
Acupuncture can treat a wide range of pain, both localized and those with systemic causes. Whether it is headaches, muscle pain, joint pain or back pain, needle therapy can provide significant relief and improve quality of life.
Headaches (migraines)
Acupuncture is effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of migraines and tension headaches. By regulating the flow of energy and relaxing the cervical muscles, the sessions can prevent painful crises and reduce the need for analgesic medications.
Back pain
One of the most common conditions treated with acupuncture is low back pain. Whether it has a muscular, inflammatory or postural cause, acupuncture can reduce inflammation, relax muscles and accelerate the natural healing processes. It is also effective in cases of herniated discs or sciatica.
Muscle pain
Muscle pain, whether caused by physical exertion, stress or chronic conditions, can be effectively soothed with the help of acupuncture. By stimulating blood circulation and releasing tension accumulated in the tissues, patients experience deep relaxation and faster recovery.
Acupuncture for edema
Acupuncture can also be used to reduce edema (swelling caused by the accumulation of fluid in the tissues). By stimulating points that regulate kidney function and lymphatic circulation, the therapy helps eliminate excess fluids and reduce local inflammation. It is useful in post-traumatic edema, lymphedema or water retention caused by hormonal or metabolic imbalances.
Risks and adverse effects
Acupuncture is considered a safe therapy when applied by trained and certified specialists. Adverse effects are rare and generally minor. Slight sting marks, small bruises or slight dizziness may appear immediately after the session. In rare cases, there may be local sensitivity reactions, but these disappear quickly. Compliance with hygiene rules and the use of sterile needles eliminates the risk of infections.
Contraindications of acupuncture for pain and edema
Although acupuncture is well tolerated by most patients, there are some contraindications that must be taken into account:
▪️Blood clotting disorders or anticoagulant treatments
▪️Severe dermatological diseases in the treated area
▪️Acute infections or fever
▪️Pregnancy (certain points should be avoided)
▪️Severe needle phobia
It is essential that the patient openly discuss their medical history with the therapist to avoid any complications.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it hurt to insert the needles?
Insertion of acupuncture needles generally causes minimal or no discomfort. The needles are extremely thin, much finer than those used for injections. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight prick, sometimes followed by a slight sensation of warmth, pressure, or tingling. The discomfort is short-lived and is usually followed by a state of relaxation.
Can I go to work after an acupuncture session?
Yes, you can safely go to work after an acupuncture session. The therapy requires no recovery time, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately. However, if the session was more intense or if you are in a state of marked relaxation, it is recommended to avoid intense physical exertion and to hydrate well for the rest of the day.
