Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Pattern Diagnosis
Comprehensive Consultation and Diagnosis
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) uses a method of sign and symptom pattern
recognition and treatment. These signs and symptoms are determined through a
consistent series of questioning, examination of the tongue, and palpation of
the pulse. Patients may present with a simple pattern or, more commonly, with
multiple patterns. The combinations of patterns explains how, in practice, TCM
can treat such varied complaints..
Building a Wellness Treatment Plan
As a TCM practitioner, the challenge is to figure out the patterns and prioritize treatment. Once the pattern is identified the practitioner uses his or her tools: acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and dietary and lifestyle recommendations to bring the flow of Qi and other natural states in the body back to a balanced state resulting in amelioration or relief of symptoms. TCM does not claim to cure the disease, only to relieve the symptoms by bringing the body to a balanced state of health. If the balance is maintained, symptoms will not return.

The National Institutes of Health Consensus Statement on Acupuncture states: “…promising results have emerged, for example, showing efficacy of acupuncture in adult postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting and in postoperative dental pain. There are also situations such as addiction, stroke rehabilitation, HEADACHE, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, FIBROMYALGIA, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME, and ASTHMA in which acupuncture may be useful as an adjunct treatment or an acceptable alternative to be included in a comprehensive management program.”
