Are there any side effects?

Acupuncture is a very moving procedure, meaning, there are several physiological processes initiated with each needle insertion. On occasion, this can cause a patient to feel tired after their treatment. Patients also report feeling activity at the insertion site continuing after their session, we call this phenomenon a ghost needle and it is completely normal.

We ask patients to report any and all changes they experience after their treatment. This information is used to modify and customize the patient’s treatment in a way that maximizes beneficial outcomes, while minimizes side effects.
