If you experience dizziness, nausea, cold sweat, shortness
of breath, or faintness during treatment this known as needle
shock. Immediately inform your practitioner and they
will withdraw the needles. Needle shock is primarily due
to anxiety in first-time patients. It rarely happens if
the patient is treated lying down.

Feel free to let your practitioner know of any pain or
burning sensations experienced during acupuncture or

electro-acupuncture unbearable at any point during treatment,

made.
