Akupunktur

Acupuncture is generally safe when done by an appropriately trained practitioner using clean needle technique and single-use needles.When properly delivered, it has a low rate of mostly minor adverse effects.Accidents and infections are associated with infractions of sterile technique or neglect on the part of the practitioner.A review stated that the reports of infection transmission increased significantly in the previous decade.The most frequently reported adverse events were pneumothorax and infections.Since serious adverse events continue to be reported, it is recommended that acupuncturists be trained sufficiently to reduce the risk.
