does acupuncture have any side effects?
Acupuncture is remarkably safe. The British Medical Association (the organization that regulates doctors in the UK) has looked extensively into the research on acupuncture safety, and found the results reassuring (Acupuncture: Efficacy, Safety and Practice, BMA 2000).
The most common side effect is to feel a little dizzy after the session. Therefore I recommend my clients to make sure they have eaten something before the session and not to drive immediately after.
