Side Effects: Acupuncture?

By Chris Lawrence

Not really, it is a very safe way of aiding the body to encourage healing.

If done right, acupuncture barely invokes any real side effects. Some people sense a brief stinging feeling, like a needle prick, while the needle is introduced. Other people have a small ache around the needle after it is introduced.

Other side effects noticed by researchers resulted from errors made by the acupuncturist. For example, numerous acupuncturists have failed to consult their patience for other kinds of treatment that might be more effective for their illness.

A very few injured their patience by putting a needle into a major organ.

It is very common with the first one or two routines to have a feeling of deep relaxation or even disorientation right after the procedure. These side effects will wear off within 24 to 48 hours.

Make sure you talk to your acupuncturist throughout the procedure. Your comfort is a essential. The more you talk to them, the more the acupuncturist will be able to assist you.

A few people have reported more serious side effects, such as dizziness, excessive sweating, and nausea. There have been some events reported where individuals lost consciousness.

These problems will clear up on their own inside a few minutes, without long-term damage to the individual. - 16463
