When performed by a licensed acupuncturist with board certification, acupuncture is a low-risk therapy. Occasionally, bruising can occur. We have an anti-bruising topical here at the clinic, which we can apply to immediately reduce bruising and maybe even stop it entirely.
Undergoing acupuncture treatment with an unlicensed individual is a whole different ball game. Midwest Acupuncture clinic is run by Dana Hoffman, a fully licensed acupuncturist in the state of Illinois, who has been trained to rigorous safety standards and uses conservative needling depth.
