I have been hearing a lot about the benefits of acupuncture. Is it safe?

Acupuncture is generally considered to be a safe and effective treatment for many conditions, including pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, headaches, and digestive problems. However, there are some potential risks associated with acupuncture, such as an allergic reaction or infection at the site of the needle insertion. It is important that you discuss these risks with your acupuncturist before receiving acupuncture treatments.
