Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine that utilizes long, thin needles, which are then activated through gentle and specific movements of the practitioner’s hands or with electrical stimulation.
It is best for pain management.
Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe that the body consists of more than 2,000 acupuncture points connected by pathways or meridians. These meridians are said to be pathways of energy flow that travel throughout the body. This energy flow or Qi is known to be responsible for overall health. If there is a disruption in the energy flow, this can cause sickness.
Our Traditional Oriental Medicine in Orange County would like to share the dangers of doing acupuncture on your own and why you should NEVER attempt on doing it. Acupuncture is not for everyone. If you choose to see our acupuncturist, discuss it with your doctor first.
When performing acupuncture on your own, there is a high risk that you will puncture a vital organ. If not careful, this can cause irreversible damage that may cause your life. This, in turn, can cause pneumothorax cardiac tamponade or major hemorrhage.
