How safe is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is extremely safe. It is an all-natural, drug-free therapy, yielding no side effects just feelings of relaxation and well-being. There is little danger of infection from acupuncture needles because they are sterile, used once, and then properly discarded.  Usually, patients report that side effects of treatment are that symptoms they did not mention disappeared, without them being targeted specifically.  That is the beauty of this medicine, when we correctly diagnose the pattern of imbalance and then correct it, the entire body shifts and everything improves.
