What is your diagnosis?


Acupuncture Diagnosis

In Chinese Medicine, we take all of your symptoms into account and form a picture of which organ is out of balance.  From there, it is usually straightforward and simple to treat you.  Here are some examples. 

Just find your symptoms and notice the column heading.  That gives you an idea of what organ is out of balance in your body.  This does not mean the organ is diseased in the Western medicine sense!  But, in the Chinese Medical system, it is out of balance and needs to be regulated.

You only need one or two symptoms in a category to consider that might be part of your diagnosis.  A lot of people have multiple categories that apply to them.  With acupuncture, you can easily treat several problems at the same time.  In fact, that is the beauty of it.
