The safe use of acupuncture is promoted by following contraindications for it's application. The Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP) [1]suggests that with regard to acupuncture contraindications should be thought of in two groups; 'absolute contraindications', where the use of acupuncture is forbidden and 'relative contraindications' where acupuncture can be used with careful consideration of the risk factors. The World Health Organisation Guidelines on Basic Training and Safety in Acupuncture [2] state that, "it is difficult to stipulate absolute contraindications for this form of therapy" However, they suggest that for reasons of safety, it should be avoided in pregnancy, medical and surgical emergencies, malignant tumours and bleeding disorders. The full World Health Organisation guideline can be viewed here.
