Acupuncture & Pharmacopuncture

We look at the forearm as well as the wrist, because the muscles that move the fingers and wrist begin near the elbow. Muscle and tendon problems tend to respond quickly, while numbness from nerve compression takes longer to subside.

Q. Can my wrist hurt more after acupuncture?

Mild temporary soreness is normal; severe worsening should be reported.

📝 Detailed Answer

Post-acupuncture soreness: mild soreness 24–48 hours is normal ('acupuncture reaction'), signals healing. Severe worsening rare, should be reported. Apply warm pack and rest.
