RISKS OF ACUPUNCTURE
Sterile needles designed for a single use are the most commonly
available in the U.S. To assure safety many states require certification
by the National Commission for the Certification of Acupuncture
and Oriental Medicine. A requirement for board certification is
CNT - Clean Needle Technique certification. CNT is a set procedure
for handling and use of acupuncture needles and was adapted from
the procedures for hypodermic injections. However, not all acupuncturists
observe CNT. It isn’t required in all parts of the world.
So it’s very important to make certain an acupuncturist
uses safe needle procedures before taking treatment with him or
her.Clean Needle Technique - CNT minimizes the possibility of infection
but there are other risks. The most serious is the puncture of
an organ. Though the research on the frequency of organ puncture
is self-contradictory and inconclusive it is safe to say that
organ punctures are not common occurrences.
Other risks are more nuisance than danger. They include nausea,
dizziness, bruising, and fainting - To minimize the danger of
falling, be sure you are well supported and/or preferably in a
lying position when receiving acupuncture.
