“Is acupuncture safe for your health?”

Yes provided the person is appropriately trained. It is very beneficial for some problems.

Absolutely yes. Acupuncture in trained hands is safe. It can help pain management as an example.

Yes, absolutely with professionally trained and certified Acupuncturist!

Yes, acupuncture is safe for your health but you have to be very careful to choose a very good doctor otherwise you may get a very terrible consequence!

Yes

Studies have shown that acupuncture does help people with chronic fatigue and chronic pain , How exactly this works is rather uncertain in the fullest sense. But physicians nowadays have approved or allowed for their patients to try this therapy to see if it gives them any benefits. Not everybody has a benefit but some do. It is a safe practice with a reputable practitioner. In this country we have licensing for therapy of all kinds, Whether it's physical therapy occupational therapy speech therapy massage therapy... Acupuncture is a therapy as well that should have a license. A reputable practitioner will use sterile technique to maintain skin cleanliness and use the actual fine needles only once And dispose To avoid infection. These needles are so fine they're like the width of a hair, And they do not go deep Therefore the risk of injury is miniscule. But on the 1st visit with an acupuncture provider I do recommend you discuss the benefits and the risks with that provider and have them walk you through what it entails As well as how often you need to go to see benefits.

Yes. Acupuncture is very good for health. Acupuncture with herbs, and sometimes massage, is very helpful for treating someone with chronic fatigue. I suggest you try it.

Acupuncture is approved by some insurance for chronic pain treatment and it has been done for thousands of years in other parts of the planet.

It is safe unless you have other conditions like cancer or skin break at the site of the acupuncture.

Hi… my experience using acupuncture alone in the treatment of CFS is that you generally need to do additional dietary therapy and herbal therapy. It can be very helpful in the treatment.

Definitely, you can try to follow my page on Facebook, I explain a lot over there. Dr. Irene Lien L.Ac

Yes it is

Oh my, yes, acupuncture IMPROVES your health. I would absolutely look up an acupuncturist to help you with your chronic fatigue, and everything else you've got going on.

It depends on who is performing the acupuncture.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are currently in a very strange position in the west, and particularly in the United States. There is a lot of science showing acupuncture's effectiveness for things like digestive complaints, pain, fatigue, neurological issues, cardiac issues, and so on. In many cases the evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture is better than the evidence for the effectiveness of conventional treatments (prescription medication or surgery).

This evidence has created a situation where many people would like to try acupuncture, but there aren't currently enough acupuncturists in the US. Nation wide there are about 36,000 of us and more than half of those are in CA, NY, or FL. This has led to other providers attempting to step in and collect those patients. Many of these providers don't have nearly the training that a nationally board certified and state licensed acupuncturist has - particularly in the area of your chief concern: patient safety.

For the best outcome, with the least risk, you need to make sure you're seeing a provider who has a national credential through the NCCAOM and is licensed in your state as an acupuncturist (usually this is an L.Ac. credential but some states use R.Ac.).

To find someone like this in your area, you can go to NCCAOM.org and use their 'Find a Practitioner' look up. If you happen to be in a state other than NY, CA, FL (and I'd add WA, OR, CO, MA) to this list, you may have to travel a bit to find someone with the necessary credentials.
