Potential Acupuncture Side Effects And Adverse Reactions To Be Aware Of
|
Acupuncture is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. It has a long history and acupuncture has been used for a long time to treat various conditions, from back pains to anxiety.
Acupuncture is a non-evasive form of treatment and can thus be safely used by people of all ages and often with various physical conditions. There are, however, potential acupuncture side effects that might occur during or immediately following treatment; some of these are positive, and some of them are negative.
It is important to be aware of these negative acupuncture side effects before starting the treatment. By having a trained professional perform acupuncture, you can ask and discuss these points thoroughly before starting the treatment.
Positive acupuncture side effects
It must be noted that acupuncture has a list of positive side effects that you may experience after starting the treatment. AcuTake website listed 5 common positive side effects in 2012. These are:
* Better quality of sleep
* Increased energy
* Better mental clarity and confidence
* Improved digestion
* Reduced levels of stress
Negative acupuncture side effects
In some cases, you might experience other acupuncture side effects. You should always immediately discuss these with your acupuncture provider and make a joined decision whether to continue with the treatment. Sara Calabro listed the most common side effects in her Huffington Post article in 2013.
Worsened symptoms
The idea of acupuncture is to help the energy flow better in your body and awaken your self-healing capabilities, but sometimes these might not happen. This will lead you having your symptoms feel worse than they did when you started. Calabro writes that this is often due to the stress and tenseness some people experience during the treatment.
