Abstract
|
|
|
|
Acupuncture, which is a procedure of inserting needles in a specific portion of the body to control pain, is conducted widely. The procedure is considered relatively safe because of its minimal side effects and low occurrence (1 in 200,000). On the other hand, its side effects include neurological damage, infection, hematoma, emphysema, etc . The authors report a case of cervical neurological damage that occurred after an acupuncture procedure.
