acupuncture needle

Thin healing insertion

A thin, solid needle used in acupuncture to stimulate specific points on the body.

Unlike hollow hypodermic needles, acupuncture needles are hair-fine and flexible, designed to penetrate skin with minimal sensation.

They're typically made of stainless steel and disposable: The practitioner inserted acupuncture needles along my spine.
