In acupuncture very thin needles are used to trigger specific points on the body to relieve pain or reduce stress in an area. It can help psychological issues (addiction) or physical ailments (very common for migraines). Not to be confused with acupressure which is not using needles. They are very thin and are not meant to cause discomfort or pain.
