The thing described in 3-106451 is proposed. This is because when a needle body made of stainless steel is used as a needle for energizing treatment that gives electrical stimulation to the living body by inserting it into the living body and energizing it, current leaks to the skin surface part when the energizing is performed. In order to prevent the patient from feeling uncomfortable by doing so, the surface of the needle body, excluding the needle tip and the needle handle that becomes the energizing terminal, is coated with an insulating material such as acrylic resin or epoxy resin (paint). As a result, the coating is applied and then baked.
