Does acupuncture hurt? Is it safe?
Acupuncture is very safe when practiced by a licensed professional. There is an
extremely low risk of side effects. All needles used in Jessica's office are sterile - they
are used only once and then discarded immediately. Nothing is injected into or
withdrawn from the body during acupuncture treatment. The needles used in
acupuncture are very fine, and usually cause little or no pain on insertion. Jessica uses
several different needling styles, so you are encouraged to give feedback while you are
on the table - this allows Jessica to make subtle adjustments and provide a treatment
that is safe and comfortable for you.
