Ten Harms of Long-term Acupuncture

There is no such thing as the top ten harms of long-term acupuncture, but long-term acupuncture may cause bleeding, infection, nerve damage and other hazards.

1. Bleeding

acupuncture needs to be pricked into acupuncture points. If acupuncture accidentally punctures blood vessels, it may cause bleeding at the needle eye and subcutaneous hematoma.

2. Infection After

acupuncture, there will also be tiny needle eyes on the skin surface. Patients with long-term acupuncture usually do not pay attention to local skin cleaning. Pathogens may invade the body from the needle eye and cause infection.

3. Nerve damage During

long-term acupuncture, the operator selects improper acupuncture points or accidentally injures nerves, which may cause nerve damage and lead to symptoms such as paresthesia and limb movement disorder.
