“24 Things You Must Know About Acupuncture”

Introduction - Is Acupuncture Safe?
Acupuncture has become a very profitable industry, with millions of people using acupuncture to treat a number of health-related issues or problems – from back pain to headaches and sleeping disorders. But, like all alternative medicines, acupuncture can be shrouded in uncertainty. Is acupuncture safe, then?
Most people who are not familiar with acupuncture are often worried about needles being inserted into the body. This is a very valid concern; however, acupuncture as a health treatment is very safe when performed correctly. There are licensed acupuncturists, who must pass state-established training standards to become certified, and many doctors and specialists, such as neurologists or those working in physical medicine, are becoming certified in order to perform acupuncture as a treatment option for patients.
One of the first things people should know is that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of acupuncture needles by licensed practitioners. This approval should ease some concerns about acupuncture as a safe practice. In fact, there have been very few complaints logged at the FDA about acupuncture. Often, the few complaints focus on non-sterile needles, which can spread infection and disease. Thus, if you are seeking acupuncture treatment, ensure that the acupuncture needles have been sterilized. Professional acupuncturists will certainly work with sterile needles to ensure client safety.
