While acupuncture is generally considered safe, it does come with potential acupuncture disadvantages and risks. Common side effects include bruising, soreness, and minor bleeding at needle sites. In rare cases, improper needle placement can cause nerve damage or organ injury. Unsterilized needles may lead to infections if not handled by a qualified practitioner. Some people may experience dizziness or fatigue after treatment. Additionally, individuals with bleeding disorders or those taking blood thinners should consult a doctor before trying acupuncture. Choosing a licensed and experienced acupuncturist is essential to minimize risks and ensure a safe, effective treatment experience.
