What to expect on your first visit:
When you first arrive, expect to receive a thorough consultation. Dr. Roberti will have a conversation with you about your symptoms as well as other factors that may have an impact on your well being. Dr. Roberti will take your pulse and may examine other parts of your body associated with your particular issue. At this point, Dr. Roberti will recommend a custom treatment plan.
When the time arrives to begin inserting needles, keep in mind that the various acupuncture points relevant to your symptoms might seem far away from the part of your body that is giving you trouble. Acupuncture points are located all over the human body. You may need to remove some articles of clothing to give Dr. Roberti access to the points involved with your complaint, but hospital gowns will be made available to you.
Insertion of the needles:
Acupuncture needles are very, very thin. Inserting the needles usually causes little in the way of discomfort. The number of needles and where they are placed varies depending on the patient’s need, but the average treatment involves the insertion of fewer than 30 needles. Once the needles are in place, they are typically left for 20 minutes or so while you simply remain still.
