I have never been treated with traditional Chinese Medicine before. What can I expect?
Traditional Chinese medical diagnosis seeks to determine the deeper, underlying causes of your illness or disorder. The diagnostic process uses skills and techniques with which you may be unfamiliar. Careful visual inspection of the surface of the tongue and a detailed reading of the wrist pulses are two examples of highly developed, diagnostic arts used in traditional Chinese medicine. These diagnostic tools, allow a practitioner to understand your constitution and provide a patient specific treatment. The types of questions asked by a traditional Chinese medical practitioner may also be unfamiliar to you. Please be assured that each question is asked and each diagnostic step is performed to help determine the best therapeutic approach for your health needs. You should leave the clinic feeling relaxed and in better health than when you arrived.
