Let’s clear the air! Here’s why single-use needles are essential: ☑️ Safety and Hygiene: Acupuncture needles are sterile, single-use devices that meet stringent safety standards. Reusing them risks infection and cross-contamination, prioritizing patient safety. ☑️ Treatment Effectiveness: Designed to be sharp and thin, single-use needles maximize therapeutic effect while minimizing discomfort. Reusing needles can compromise their effectiveness and treatment outcomes. ☑️ Legal and Ethical Standards: Reusing acupuncture needles is prohibited in the US, ensuring compliance with strict regulations and upholding practitioner integrity. By prioritizing single-use acupuncture needles, we ensure a safe and effective treatment environment for all our patients. Your well-being is our priority at Benessere Miami! 🥰👏 𝗕𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗠𝗜𝗔𝗠𝗜 ✨ ⏰ Mon-Thu: 8:30am-7:30pm Fri: 8:30-2:30pm. *Sat. by appointment only. 📍 8726 NW 26th St, Ste 12, Doral, FL 33172 📍4890 W LN, Hialeah, FL 33012 - #benesseremiami #acupuncturesafety #patientwellbeing #holistichealth #miamiwellness #hialeah #doral #miami #florida 💫

Acupuncture is a traditional therapy with many benefits. However, it is essential to note that, like any treatment, potential risks are involved. These risks include: 1️⃣ Bleeding, bruising, or soreness at the insertion site of the needles. 2️⃣ Infection due to unsterilised needles 3️⃣ Although extremely rare, if a needle breaks, it can cause damage to internal organs Getting insurance to protect against these risks is essential if you run an acupuncture business.

I was very sad to read in the news about England footballer Ellen White having a punctured lung after receiving acupuncture from a sports physiotherapist a year ago. Acupuncture has repeatedly been shown to be one of the safest forms of medical treatment, which is one of the reasons the government decided against Statutory Regulation for the profession, as the safety record is so good. This is a good time to point out to the public at large the differences in lengths of training between Professional ‘Traditional’ Acupuncturists who do a minimum of 3000 hours (British Acupuncture Council registered practitioners 3500) and those Healthcare practitioners such as Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Physiotherapists who do far less, and use ‘dry needling’ as an addition to their usual modality of treatment. If you are considering acupuncture treatment I thoroughly recommend that you attend a clinic that has a British Acupuncture Council registered acupuncturist. #acupuncture #acupuncturesafety #ellenwhite

This is the response from the @british_acu_council in regards to Ellen White and the pneumothorax caused by dry needling by a sports physiotherapist. This is a similar message to my video.

In brief… very safe! Adverse events from acupuncture are so rare as to be virtually unseen by skilled, licensed professionals. For this reason we are always thrilled when we can offer an alternative to standard medications that are often rife with side-effects and adverse events— even commonplace medicine cabinet staples like ibuprofen and prilosec.

How do we minimise the risk of causing a pneumothorax when using acupuncture or dry needling. ⠀ ⠀ Firstly we use our case history, patient selection and common sense when choosing the correct techniques that are appropriate for the person we are working with, tailoring the treatment to the individual. ⠀ ⠀ Secondly we ensure that we use an inferior needling technique over the thorax or over any area where there is a potential risk of compromising the underlying structures of the body such as the pleura. ⠀ ⠀ This is demonstrated by Iain Barrowman - @lothian_hp ⠀ We do not need a perpendicular down towards the lung⠀ ⠀ We use an oblique angle, minimising the risk whilst maintaining the results. ⠀ ⠀ Learn face-to-face, learn online⠀ ⠀ #omttraining_official #acupuntura #acupuncture #dryneedling #dryneedlingtherapy #acupuncturist #medicalacupuncture #medicalacupuncturist #acupuncturesafety #pneumothorax

How to safely needle the traps - Avoiding pneumothorax ⠀ ⠀ We always ensure we use a correct needling technique for the traps and surrounding areas / avoiding any angle that could compromise the lungs. ⠀ ⠀ Although these occurrences are rare, acupuncturists occasionally pierce patients' lungs through the Jian Jing pressure point which is on the top of the shoulder halfway between the tip of the shoulder and the spine. ⠀ ⠀ About 30% of the cases of pneumothorax due to acupuncture are caused by the insertion of needles into that particular spot, according to a 2010 study by the WHO.⠀ ⠀ Our course is based on our internationally published book, and related published literature on acupuncture safety. ⠀ ⠀ #dryneedling #acupuncture #acupuntura #acupuncturist #omttraining_official #chiropracticadjustment #acupunturetherapy #dryneedlingtherapy #dryneedlingcourse #acupuncturesafety #osteopatia #osteopathy #sportsmassage #sportsmassagetherapist

Numerous research studies have shown acupuncture to be a safe and effective treatment. • The largest source of safety data comes from the 2006 German PEP-Ac study, involving 454,920 patients and over 4 million treatments administered through the German healthcare system. 7.9% of patients in this study reported minor adverse effects while only 0.003% (13 patients) experienced severe adverse effects. To put this into context let’s think about acupuncture for pain relief and look at the safety of frequently used pain medication: * Of patients prescribed opioids for pain relief, up to 25% of them go in to develop life-long addiction * In 2015, opioid-involved drug overdoses accounted for 33,091 deaths in the United States (more than deaths due to car accidents) * A recent study of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory use in 446,763 subjects found that taking any dose of Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) for any duration increased the risk of heart attack. When the safety data for acupuncture is compared with the serious side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioids and the number of deaths connected with their application, the safety of acupuncture becomes even more apparent. There is only one caveat: acupuncture must be performed by qualified acupuncturists with adequate training ... more on this tomorrow! • Thank you to @evidencebasedacupuncture for presenting all of this research in such an accessible format, and for all you do to promote the brilliance of acupuncture 👏 The link to all the research into acupuncture safety is in the comments. • #acupuncturesafety #fordingbridgeacupuncture #salisburyacupuncture

What's the research on the safety of acupuncture during pregnancy?⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ For the full article plus references, see the Perinatal Acupuncture Research Summaries Project (link in bio)⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ Acupuncture is appealing during pregnancy in part because it's believed to be safer and less likely to cause side effects than medications or other similar interventions. However, we have to examine this assumption of safety- if acupuncture can provide benefits, surely it also has the potential to cause harm if used improperly. So what does the evidence say?⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ Two separate systematic reviews (which consolidated the evidence from several individual studies) found that any adverse effects as a result of acupuncture are usually mild and short-lived. Another large study was conducted which looked at the medical records of over 20,000(!) pregnant patients in Korea. It found that acupuncture led to no increased risk of preterm labor or stillbirth. Researchers concluded that acupuncture during pregnancy is a safe therapy for relieving discomfort without adversely affecting the health of the mother or baby.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ One additional study which I feel is important to mention looked at 593 people having acupuncture during the first trimester- often seen as the most delicate point in pregnancy. These women were having acupuncture to treat nausea and/or vomiting, and no increased risk of adverse events affecting either mother or baby were found.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ It's also reassuring to see a variety of statements by professional organizations such as ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists), RCOG (Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, in the UK) and the Royal College of Midwives in the UK. Each of these organizations has released guidelines on safely using acupuncture for a variety of conditions during pregnancy.⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ #acupuncture #womenshealth #evidencebased #pregnancyhealth #holistichealth #prenatal #birth #pregnant #pregnantlife #birthmatters #maternitycare #eastasianmedicine #acupuncturesafety #morningsickness #prenatalacupuncture ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠

So this is what I’ve been saying GET ACUPUNCTURE WITH AN ACUPUNCTURIST there are dangers if not trained properly. Obviously, even trained professionals incur problems now and again. However, to cause a pneumothorax (puncture the lung) implies that the needle insertion was probably incorrectly carried out. As a qualified Acupuncturist I have been taught how to needle the chest area safely and correctly to avoid this. Please read the article Note : Luckily she made a full recovery within days, but doctors have stressed that improper practice could lead to life-threatening problems. This is what I’m talking about The doctors said: 'The depth, direction and angle of needle insertion, especially in the chest region, are crucial. The lung surface is about 10–20mm beneath the skin.' We are trained in this : The doctors said: 'Both acupuncturists and clinicians need to be aware of the possibility of adverse events following acupuncture, especially in those who develop symptoms.' The likelihood of this : Although the doctors said incidences such as this are rare, Dr Nick Hopkinson of the British Lung Foundation said there has been at least one fatality reported. A German study on 229,300 people who received 2.2million acupuncture treatments found a rate of 8.6 per cent of adverse events. Which equates to 0.19 persons.

If you've ever met me you know that I am a very go-go-go sort of lady. With such a yang lifestyle it's important that I am supporting my yin. I need to remember to eat good food, take breaks, put my feet up, etc. But I admit, between my side hustle, my acupuncture clinic and my baby I let my self care slide. . One way I support myself if with my yin tonifying water. (You can find out more by clicking the #linkinprofile and checking out this week's blog post.) I make mine with lime instead of lemon because I know my pattern tends to be a little more livery (read: stressed) than flat out yin deficiency. . If you'd like to see if yin tonifiying water is right for your pattern, schedule an appointment with me by clicking the link in the profile!

As I have mentioned before about education and experience, if another medical practitioner wants to learn acupuncture, they should attend a TCM school that is accredited, pass the board examinations to become licensed. It is all about safety, security, knowledge, and trustworthy from a licensed Acupuncturist. Not from someone who took a number of weekend courses to become certified in “dry needling”. Dry needling is Acupuncture and there is a reason why some areas of the body are needles differently and take caution of how deep the needle goes in. In this article it explains what is happening in the state of Massachusetts but also happening in other states just like Florida.
