You guys have to tell me about your accupuncturists. I have never experienced pain after the treatment and only during in very agitated areas or in areas with little muscle or fat between the skin and bones. I took my son when he was seven years old and he thought it was great because his previous exposure to needles was not as pain free. One of the places this accupuncturist placed a needle was about two inches forward of the crown of his head to alleviate severe headaches. To this day, he is 20, he can reach up to that area and by pulsing the point his headache will go away. He says it is much faster than an asprin and he always trys to avoid medications.

If you can, find out where they graduated and let me know which meridians they are addressing. If the practitioner is oriental they tend not to be forthcoming with much conversation. But they will tell you if you ask. Like, ask them why those specific points are so sensitive. Many times you find out issues about your body unrelated to the purpose of your visit.
