Generally speaking, no. Most patients feel extremely relaxed afterward. Almost like they are floating “on air”. This is a natural process due to the boost of neurotransmitters and “feel good” chemicals the brain releases with the treatment.
In cases of treating tight muscles and acute pain, sometimes their might be some soreness associated with the treatment around the area where some of the needles have been inserted.
