If you’re considering acupuncture, you may be wondering whether it’s a safe procedure. In general, the answer is yes. The risks of acupuncture are low, as long as it’s performed properly, using sterile needles.
If acupuncture is performed improperly, it can cause injuries. And if the needles aren’t sterile, you could get an infection. Because of these risks, it’s important for acupuncture to be performed by experienced, well-trained practitioners.
If you decide to visit an acupuncturist, check the practitioner’s credentials. Most states require a license, certification, or registration to practice acupuncture. Although a license doesn’t ensure quality of care, it does indicate that the practitioner meets certain standards regarding the knowledge and use of acupuncture.
