Procedures
Service Summary
A treatment in which very fine needles are placed at specific points on the body, used most often for persistent musculoskeletal pain, headache and nausea.
Possible Side Effects
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles through the skin, and minor after-effects are common and short-lived: aching or soreness at the needle sites, small spots of bleeding or bruising, and feeling tired, drowsy or light-headed for a while afterwards. A brief increase in your usual symptoms before they improve is also reported. Some people feel faint during treatment — say so immediately if you do, and do not drive while you still feel drowsy. Serious complications are rare but they exist, and one is the reason the pre-treatment conversation matters: needling over the chest wall or upper back carries a small risk of puncturing a lung, so persistent breathlessness or chest pain after treatment needs urgent medical assessment. Infection is rare where single-use sterile needles are used. Tell the practitioner before any needle goes in if you take anticoagulants or have a bleeding or clotting disorder, if you have a pacemaker or any other implanted electrical device, if you are pregnant or might be, if you have a heart valve problem or any condition that makes infection more dangerous, or if you have lymphoedema or a limb at risk of it, and bring your current medication list. Acupuncture is not a substitute for medical care and is not the right first step for symptoms that need investigating. Seek medical assessment rather than booking treatment if you have new or unexplained pain, unexplained weight loss, fever, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the saddle area, or weakness in a limb that is getting worse. Outcomes vary between individuals and no course of treatment can be guaranteed to work.
