Good to know
What acupuncture does not do
- It does not replace your doctor, your medicine or emergency care.
- It does not promise a result, and results vary from person to person.
- It does not stand in for therapy, physical therapy or other care you need.
- It is not a reason to stop or change a medicine without asking your prescriber.
When to see a doctor instead
See a doctor first for sudden, severe pain, chest pain, trouble breathing, a fever with a stiff neck, new weakness or numbness, or loss of bladder or bowel control. In an emergency, call 911.
