Treatment Precautions
Consumers Guide to Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine
It is not recommended to have an acupuncture treatment if you are very hungry or extremely tired.
Some bruising may occasionally occur after needling. If you have a bleeding disorder or are on blood-thinning medications, you should inform your acupuncturist before undergoing treatment.
If you are pregnant or have a pacemaker, tell the acupuncturist so that appropriate herbs and acu-points will be chosen.
