No two people are the same, so it stands to reason that not everyone will respond to acupuncture in the same way. There are always risks associated with any kind of medical treatment, but the risks associated with acupuncture are relatively low. That being said, it is still possible for acupuncture to go wrong.
One of the most common risks associated with acupuncture is bruising or bleeding at the site of the needle insertion. This is usually not serious and will resolve on its own. More serious risks include puncturing the lung or liver, but these are extremely rare.
Another risk of acupuncture is infection. This can occur if the needles are not sterile or if they are not inserted properly. Infections are usually minor and can be treated with antibiotics, but more serious infections can occur.
Overall, the risks associated with acupuncture are relatively low. However, as with any medical treatment, there are always some risks involved. It is important to discuss these risks with your acupuncture practitioner before starting treatment.
