Acupuncture pg 2/2

Many regulated health professionals, such as osteopaths, often use acupuncture in conjunction with their specialised treatment (often referred to as ‘dry needling’ or ‘western acupuncture’). This differentiates it slightly from the acupuncture of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Whilst acupuncture is generally safer than many conventional treatments, potential serious consequences could occur without due care. Acupuncture should therefore only be used by trained practitioners who can adequately assess the risks and benefits of applying the therapy.
