WHAT DOES THE EXAMINATION/CONSULTATION INVOLVE? An exam/consultation includes the practitioner taking a comprehensive medical history, questioning the patient about his/her chief complaints and making observations about the patient such as, the appearance of the face and body build, the shape and color of the tongue, the quality of the pulses, the feel of diagnostic areas such as the abdomen and back. The acupuncturist may also test for weaknesses along the "meridians" and weaknesses in the muscles. From this information, a Chinese diagnosis can be made. |
