How safe is acupuncture?
Acupuncture and herbal treatments are drug free and avoid many of the side effects and dependencies associated with medication. You should always inform your doctor of the medications you are currently taking and whether or not you are or could be pregnant or if you have a cardiac pacemaker or cosmetic implants. Please be sure to inform your acupuncturist /herbalist of any pharmaceutical medications you are using.
Acupuncture is extremely safe. It is a drug-free therapy, yielding on side effects, except feeling of relaxation and being grounded. There is little danger of infection from acupuncture needles because they are sterile, used once, and disposed of after each use.For more information:Dr. Leah Chen will be happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
