Your Initial Visit
The practitioner will ask extensive questions regarding your history, current complaints
and overall health status. A physical examination will be performed, including taking
your blood pressure and pulse. Your tongue will be examined to determine its color and
coating. In addition, the abdomen, back and other body areas may be palpated.
The information obtained from these procedures contributes to the overall diagnosis and
enables the practitioner to plan a suitable Course of Treatment.

Course of Treatments |
|
| |
The number of treatments necessary depends upon the nature, depth and seriousness of the disorder. Other influencing factors include your response to the treatment and how well you follow recommendations given to you. You should notice some positive changes in your health within four to six treatments. However, it is important to remember that everybody has a different rate and pattern of recovery. Once the course of treatment is complete, you may need to return if symptoms reoccur, or if new ones develop. In addition, further treatment for maintenance care, or for preventative health measures may be advised.

Frequency of Treatments |

The frequency of treatments given varies from individual to individual. At the beginning, it may be necessary to treat you up to several times a week. Once your body starts to respond, the frequency of treatments will gradually taper, leaving longer intervals between visits.

After Treatment |

You should try to stay away from drinking alcohol and try to get at least 7 hours of sleep. Sound sleep will allow your healing power to be in full effect, and you will wake up to a completely refreshed morning. |
