Are there any negative side-effects from acupuncture?
Not really. However, a small percent of people will experience syncope, or fainting, symptoms during their first treatment. If this happens, it is important to tell the acupuncturist right away at which point all needles will be immediately removed and any other necessary measures will be taken. Syncope reactions from acupuncture typically subside quickly and do not persist once the needles have been removed.
