As agulhas são muito finas; a maioria das pessoas sente apenas um leve pico ou pressão. O terapeuta adapta a técnica ao seu conforto.

Quantas sessões vou precisar?

Depende do objetivo e evolução. Casos agudos podem responder em poucas sessões; situações crónicas costumam beneficiar de um plano com várias semanas.

Posso fazer juntamente com fisioterapia ou medicação?

Sim, a acupuntura é frequentemente complementar. Informe sempre os profissionais sobre os tratamentos em curso.

Há contraindicações?

Existem cuidados especiais (ex.: distúrbios de coagulação, anticoagulantes, gravidez). Faremos uma triagem antes de iniciar.
