At your initial appointment the practitioner will conduct a consultation, asking a series of questions regarding your presenting problem as well as other signs and symptoms. They will also feel the pulses and inspect your tongue to gather further information on what underlying pattern of disharmony may be present. 

 

A diagnosis, from a Chinese medicine perspective, will be made following this initial consultation and a relevant treatment plan can then be recommended. Treatment recommendations may include just one therapy such as Acupuncture, or a combination of therapies including Chinese Herbal Medicine or Gua Sha/Cupping.
