DISCLAIMERS

While acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by a trained practitioner, there are some potential risks and side effects to be aware of: Soreness and Minor Bleeding: You might experience soreness, minor bleeding, or bruising at the needle insertion sites. Infection: If the needles are not sterile, there is a risk of infection. Injury: Rarely, needles can be inserted too deeply, potentially causing injury to internal organs. Dizziness or Fainting: Some people may feel dizzy or faint during or after the treatment. Worsening Symptoms: In some cases, symptoms might temporarily worsen before they improve.

Before having acupuncture treatment, be sure to tell the practitioner if you:

  • Have a pacemaker. Acupuncture that involves applying mild electrical pulses to the needles may potentially interfere with a pacemaker's operation.

  • Are pregnant. Some acupuncture points are thought to stimulate labor, which could result in a premature delivery.
