  • Acupuncture in neck and feeling dizzy after

    Acupuncture can result in any number of responses by the body. If this was your first session of acupuncture, it's entirely valid that you feel weird. As you become more experienced with receiving acupuncture, you will begin to be better able to navigate the sensations you have. You will be able to recognize them as a response that is normal for you and one that means your session was therapeutic. The sensation you have is not likely to persist. That said, if the sensation starts to feel less "weird" and more "bad" or continues to persist in a way that is very uncomfortable, I encourage you to reach out to your practitioner immediately to discuss the treatment and how you responded. They will best be able to assess what you are experiencing and what sort of follow up care is required. Kind regards, Dr Barnes READ MORE
