Acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture attempts to normalize physiological functions, to modify the perception of pain, and to treat certain diseases and dysfunctions of the body. I have been informed that acupuncture is a safe method of treatment, but it may have side effects, including bruising, numbness or tingling near the needling sites that may last a few days and dizziness or fainting. I understand that I should not move while the needles are being inserted, during treatment, or when the needles are being removed. Unusual risks of acupuncture include lung puncture (pneumothorax) if acupuncture is performed in the region of the lung. Infection is another possible risk, although the acupuncturist below uses sterile disposable needles and maintains a clean safe environment. I understand that while this document describes the major risks of treatment, other side effects and risks may occur. I will notify the doctor who is caring for me if I am or become pregnant. Although acupuncture is safe to use during pregnancy, there are some Your Protected Health Information will be used by Gerhardson Chiropractic or may be disclosed to others for the purposes of treatment, obtaining payment, or supporting the day-to-day health care operations of this office.
Acupuncture treatment. Upon approval from Dansk Sundhedssikring´s doctor, acupuncture for musculoskeletal disorders is covered. The insured can decide between either an acupuncturist from Dansk Sundhedssikring´s quality controlled network or an acupuncturist of their choosing.

Acupuncture treatment. I understand acupuncture treatment is being provided by an Indiana State Licensed Acupuncturist. I understand methods of treatment may include, by are not limited to: acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and nutritional counseling. I appreciate it is not possible to consider every possible complication to care. I have been informed acupuncture is a generally safe method of treatment, but, as with all types of healthcare interventions, there are some risks to care, including, but not limited to: bruising; numbness or tingling near the needling sites that may last a few days; and dizziness or fainting.
