What are the side effects of acupuncture?

Rarely, patients report mild side effects such as bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the site of treatment. Due to the systemic effects of acupuncture, some patients report temporary fatigue or symptoms of detoxification - such as a headache, body aches, increased urination, diarrhea - following a treatment. Your Doctor will do a full review of potential side effects prior to your treatment.
