Diagnostic techniques
Diagnostic techniques including asking questions, listening, and a physical examination.
To begin a successful treatment, it's important to get an accurate diagnosis for each patient so we conduct a comprehensive consultation with each client during their initial appointment. Our objective is to understand your health condition, address your queries and alleviate any apprehensions you might have.
We look into your medical history and that of your immediate family to comprehend the root cause of any health problems and symptoms. Additionally, we assess for any contraindications from previous illnesses, medical treatment or allergies. We base our diagnosis on four approaches: listening, asking, taking your pulses and a physical examination. Your comfort and ease will be assured with courtesy at all times and you are welcome to bring a companion.
Asking
We'll talk about your symptoms and general health, as well as discuss any changes since your previous treatment if we have seen you before. You are encouraged to ask any questions you may have.
Examining
We look at the complexion, tongue and body for signs of any disharmony. A person's tongue, for example, is a diagnostic indicator of organ health. We will examine your tongue's colour, shape, coating and texture.
Listening
During our discussion we will pay close attention to your speech and tone to gather insights into your physical and mental conditions, including any health issues. No information will be left out during this process.
Touching
We take six pulse readings on each wrist. This tells us how the meridians regulating and nourishing your body, organs and tissues are working.
We will also palpate your tummy, arms and legs.
