Q11: Is acupuncture safe for people with herniated discs or spinal injuries?
A:
Yes, acupuncture is considered very safe when performed by a licensed provider—even for patients with disc bulges or spinal injuries. It’s non-invasive, does not involve medication, and can be used alongside other treatments. Needles are placed away from the spine itself, targeting points that relieve nerve compression, reduce inflammation, and ease tension.
