Initials Consultation
In the consultation, I will discuss the main problem in detail and then ask other relevant questions about aspects of your health to help build up a complete picture and to put your illness into holistic context.
After the discussion I will take your pulse and examine your tongue.
Taking the pulse is Chinese Medicine differs enormously from Western medicine as it is an important pillar of diagnosis which helps give information about the state of your Qi and the status quo of your internal organs.
A physical examination will be performed for any muscular-skeletal problems and it is common practice to palpate along acupuncture channels for a wide range of ailments.
The length of treatment
On the whole, acute problems such as a recently strained back will only require a few treatments and problems of a more chronic nature require more treatment. We suggest 1 or 2 appointments per week for the first few weeks in order to achieve the quickest response from your body. As your condition improves, treatment is reduced to 1 appointment per week or per fortnight.
Then you need to get maintenance treatment once a month in order the energy build up again. The duration between treatments becomes longer until your condition is resolved and you no longer require treatment. The aim of Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment is to set up your organ and circulation function so that your body works properly by itself without treatment.
Certain conditions may require treatment to be arranged around the stages and phases of the body (menstrual cycle, fertility & IVF).
