Consultations

During consultation, a diagnostic pattern is determined from both the Practitioner’s observations and patient’s experience.

Areas of questioning may include:

• appetite;

• perspiration;

• sensations of heat and cold;

• thirst;

• urinary and bowel patterns;

• energy;

• sleep;

• as well as specific details on your main complaint.

Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis also includes observation of the tongue, pulse taking and palpation of body regions for trigger points in musculo-skeletal conditions.

With some conditions, improvements may be experienced in as few as 1-2 visits. However chronic conditions usually require a standard course of 8-12 treatments.

Note: 45 minutes should be allowed for consultations.
