Diagnostics based on Traditional Chinese Medicine is fundamentally different from other examination methods, so the process of health assessment is also different from the medical examinations you have experienced before. While Western-style blood test diagnostics usually focus exclusively on data outside the reference range, the Chinese doctor also infers the condition of the whole body from the results within the normal range. In addition, he also uses examination methods that a traditional doctor rarely, if ever, does. For example, pulse diagnosis, which, in contrast to Western medicine, the Chinese doctor examines on both hands, at three different points. He combines this with the visual inspection of the tongue, lips, and many other areas in order to make an accurate diagnosis. With the diagnostic methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine, possible blocks in the body can be revealed much earlier, even before the appearance of painful complaints. This way under-functioning and over-functioning of certain organs can be easily detected.
In this phase, the non-optimal bodily functions can be effectively treated with health-conscious treatments or lifestyle changes, thereby avoiding more serious diseases and invasive interventions. During the Comprehensive Health Assessment, our patients receive an accurate picture of their current state of health from an experienced Traditional Chinese doctor, as well as treatment suggestions for improving their condition.
