What can I expect in a TCM session?
Before starting any treatments, the TCM practitioner will take a detailed medical history and conduct a physical examination to check for signs of imbalanced Qi within your body.
For your safety, please tell your practitioner if you have a pacemaker, take any medications, or are pregnant. Your practitioner may examine your skin, tongue, hair, and other parts of your body for signs of illness, including looking at the brightness of your eyes, checking your pulse, and listening to your voice. They will also check your organs to see if any are malfunctioning.
After discussing the options available for correcting any imbalances, the practitioner will then outline your treatment plan, or the best way to combine TCM treatments for you. Depending on your condition, your treatment could include acupuncture, Tui Na, Chinese herbal treatments, or a combination of the three.
