Is Acupuncture Safe?
YES
Acupuncture is performed by a trained professional who has completed a reputable program with over 200 hours of education. It utilizes sterile, disposable needles that are much thinner than hypodermic needles—about 15 acupuncture needles can fit inside the diameter of a single hypodermic needle. Most insertions are painless, and the most common side effects are minimal bruising or mild bleeding, typically less than a shaving nick.
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into precise points within affected areas. This stimulates the nervous system to release biochemicals and pain mediators, helping to reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, and accelerate the healing process.
