Now that we have talked about some of the dangers of Acupuncture, the next step is going to be warning you about some of the side effects that you might feel.  One of the first is going to be the insertation of the needle itself.  Some people report feeling a pinprick or even a sting and some people even claim to feel a dull ache around the needle’s side that could actually increase and last for many days after the Acupuncture session.  This is not usual, but it is something that could happen.

Another common side effect is going to be the feeling of deep relaxation and also disorientation.  Personally – I am not a fan of feeling like that, however – these symptoms should wear off in a day or two.  Some of the more serious side effects include dizziness, skin reactions, losing consciousness and sweating – these are only in the extreme cases most of the time.

Acupuncture is safe – these things just happen to some people and they are things that you do need to be aware of before you get the treatment.
