Acupuncture usually is a very safe method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and improve function. Hair-fine stainless acupuncture needles are 25-50 times thinner than a hypodermic needle, the insert of such thin needle into skin and body tissue therefore is not able to hurt any nerve or organ. Acupuncturist uses sterile disposable needles and maintains a clean and safe environment also. Extremely rarely, acupuncture may have some side effects, including bruising, numbness or tingling near the needling sites that may last a few days, dizziness, fainting, muscle spasms, bleeding, nerve damage.
