Acupuncture needles are nothing like those. They are so fine you don't
feel them go in. Our dog, (who hated needles and had to be held down for
his annual injections),
was completely relaxed about having acupuncture needles inserted (24
every time) and the pain relief they gave him was instant and obvious.
It was his experience that persuaded me to try it myself and it's now my
first-choice for pain relief.

You can also get acupressure, no needles.
