Most patients body composition will never have the needle enter the chest cavity and the small gauge of the needles would prevent entrance through the fascia. If you have ever seen a MD put a chest tube in you would know that it is hard to get into the chest cavity. And most points in the chest are needled at an angle and the depth is very shallow. That is why a trained acupuncturist is a better choice since we learn the true method and not some water down weekend course.
