Acupuncture Safety and Side Effects

Is Acupuncture Safe?

Acupuncture is perfectly safe when practised with appropriate training. The needles used are all sterile and disposable. They are only inserted a few millimetres and this gives rise to a sensation (Qi), which should only be a very mild discomfort at the most.

Are there any Side Effects?

When performed by a fully trained and licensed practitioner acupuncture is safe and effective, free from adverse or addictive side effects. Quite often a sense of relaxation and well being  occurs during and after treatments.
