Anyone have any negative effects from acupuncture?!


Question:

Anyone have any negative effects from acupuncture?

I've only had 2 treatments but my neck and upper back have really tightened up. Not sure if this is for me. (I was going for something other than muscular pain and did not have these symptoms before starting).


Answers:

No. Considering the fact that the acupuncture therapist is a genuine one, acupuncture is meant to relieve the pain and as such does not create any side effect.

But if you happen to visit a sham acupuncture therapist without verifying the credentials, then, I am afraid, you are buying trouble.

Why dont you try acupressure instead of acupuncture? It is very safe and absolutely no side effects. I am an acupressure therapist myself and I have had nearly 100% success in pain management.

Ask your therapist to show you the credentials. His education, his degree where he got it from, his registration authority, number and other things which allow him to practice in your country as per the law.

If he is a genuine guy, then he knows what he is doing.

Acupunture if done correctly, is the best treatment.
