Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?
I wouldn’t like to be one because this job doesn’t interest
me. I wouldn’t want to help patients who musculoskeletal problems that have to
do with the neck or back. They get paid really well though.
Acupuncture needles are so fine that there is no discomfort when they are inserted but a slight tingle (known as needle sensation) may be experienced. At acupuncture lorne park clinic the needles are usually left in for approximately twenty minutes to more.
