| Is Acupuncture Safe |
|
Research shows that acupuncture is very safe and serious
side effects are very rare (fewer than 1 in 10 000 treatments). Minor
bleeding or bruising can occur in 3% of treatments and pain in 1%. As
members of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) we are required to have a minimum
of 3 years full-time training in the theory and clinical practice of acupuncture
and western biomedical sciences. We are bound by the BAcC's strict Codes of Safe Practice,
Ethical and Professional Conduct and stringent standards of hygiene and
sterilisation which have been approved by the Department of Heath and provide
protection against the transmission of infectious disease. We are also licensed
by Calderdale M.B.C. and are bound by their Code of Practice and Bye-Laws.
We always use single-use, disposable, stainless steel needles.
