A member asked:
Can accupunture cause nerve pain i had a session yesterday but only feel it today.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anything is possible: Acupuncture shouldn't cause nerve pain, at least not if performed by trained & experienced practitioners. Check in w/your acupuncturist and Family Doc. If pain persists, you may need EMG/NCV testing & more.
