#1 steveharry39 on 24 Jun 23You may feel a slight sting, pinch, ache, or some pain as the acupuncture needle is being inserted. Some Acupuncture move the needle after it has been placed in the body, which can cause additional pressure. Once the needle has been properly placed, you may feel a tingling or heavy feeling, which is referred to as de qi.A 2012 review found that a number of adverse events were reported after acupuncture in the UK's National Health Service (NHS), 95% of which were not severe, though miscategorization and under-reporting may alter the total figures. From January 2009 to December 2011, 468 safety incidents were recognized within the NHS organizations.
