» General theory:
> It is based on the belief that living beings have
a vital energy, called "qi", that circulates
through 12 invisible energy lines known as
meridians on the body. Each meridian is
associated with a different organ system. An
imbalance in the flow of qi throughout a
meridian is how disease begins.

Needle
© Acupuncture needles are typically
made of stainless steel wire.
® Needles vary in length between 13
to 130 mm with shorter needles
used near the face and eyes, and
longer needles in more fleshy
areas; needle diameters vary from
0.16 mm to 0.46 mm, with thicker
needles used on more robust
patients.

© The needles are left in place for
15-30 minutes, and the
practitioner may manipulate the
needles to strengthen or reduce
the flow of Qi. Lifting, twisting,
and rotating are some of the
needling techniques a
practitioner may use.

The dangers and risks of
acupuncture.
© Acupuncture is not inherently
dangerous but being an invasive
technique, it is not risk free.
Haematoma may result from the accidental
puncture of a circulatory structure. Nerve injury
can result from the accidental puncture of any
nerve.
Brain damage or stroke is possible with very
deep needling at the base of skull.
Also rare, but possible, is pneumothorax from
deep needling into the lung, and kidney
damage from deep needling in the lower back.
Needles that are not properly sterilized can
transfer diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.
