Bruising is a common side effect of cupping and gua sha. Unusual risks of acupuncture include nerve damage and organ puncture, including lung puncture. Infection is another possible risk, although the clinic uses sterile disposable needles and maintains a clean and safe environment. Burns and/or scarring are a potential risk of moxibustion and far-infrared heat. I understand that while this document describes the major risks of treatment, other side effects and risks may occur.
