X-Ray Reveals Gold Acupuncture Needles in Woman’s Knees – What Really Happened

adminon

While gold acupuncture is generally considered low-risk when performed by trained professionals, potential concerns include:

  • Infection at the implant site
    • Allergic reactions (rare, but possible)
    • Migration of threads (movement within tissue)
  • Difficulty with future imaging (metal can obscure X-rays or MRIs)
  • Unknown long-term effects of permanent implants

✅ This treatment is not approved or widely practiced in the U.S. or Europe — and is considered experimental by many medical authorities.

🩺 What Should You Know?

 

 

If you’re considering alternative treatments for joint pain:

    • Talk to your doctor — especially before trying implants or invasive procedures
 

    • Ask about evidence — is the treatment supported by clinical research?
    • Choose licensed practitioners — only trained professionals should perform any implantation
  • Understand the permanence — gold threads are meant to stay in the body
