Are there risks associated with acupuncture?
Acupuncture has very few (if any) side effects, especially if you have chosen a licensed practitioner who understands the importance of using single-use, sterile needles and correct placement into acupuncture points. The practice’s low risk is why it has become an increasingly popular option for individuals who have had difficulty managing pain with more conventional therapies and treatments. Common side effects from treatment include minor bruising or soreness where the needles were inserted.
