What happens in a typical acupuncture session with Dr. Barreto?
The information about the patient is always important, not only about the main concern, for this on the medical history includes questions related with environment, modalities, emotional situations, sleep, exercise and other aspects of the patient’s life. Practitioners take into account body language and tone of voice, and will ask about urine, sensitivity to temperature and seasons, digestive problems, eating and sleeping habits, and emotional stress. After this specific needles are placed in any of over one thousand locations on the body. However, calls for no more than ten to twelve per treatment. In fact, the more skilful the acupuncturist, the fewer the needles he will need to use. ESSENTIALLY, acupuncture is painless. But a slight pricking sensation may be felt when needles are inserted, and passes quickly. All the needles are presterilized and DISPOSABLE. The amount of time of each session is about 50 minutes.
