Patient Walks Into the Clinic

Hello, are you (Patient's Name)?

My name is (Acupuncturist's Name). It's nice to meet you.

(Learn their name before they arrive so you can greet them confidently without looking at a chart.)

Before the Visit

  • Initial paperwork should be completed online whenever possible.

  • Have consent forms printed and ready.

  • For pain patients, provide a body diagram to mark today's areas of concern. This creates a visual baseline that can be compared during future re-evaluations.

"There are just a few consent forms to complete before we begin. Please mark the areas you're experiencing on this body diagram, and we'll go over everything together once we're in the treatment room."

Does anyone have experience treating spasmodic dystonia of the vocal cords? I just saw this patient for the first time. She's a singer and speaker. Gradual onset after COVID or after the COVID shot. She's not sure. I treated the tight muscles of the SCM as well as points for the vagus nerve. Then in prone did a perfusion treatment of her neck from UB 10 to T-1. I suggested her seeing a neurologist to rule out Parkinsons. She's also on a statin for high calcium (not for high cholesterol) She's 67 and has a healthy lifestyle. Thanks in advance!

🚨 New Webinar/Lab for July!

What do you do when a clinical case leaves you scratching your head?

This webinar explores the clinical mindset needed to navigate challenging and complex cases without becoming overwhelmed. Rather than falling back on old habits or ineffective approaches, you’ll learn a structured progression of clinical thinking that can guide your decision-making, no matter how difficult the presentation may seem.

The goal isn’t to have all the answers. It’s to develop a reliable framework for thinking through the problem, staying adaptable, and moving forward with confidence when the case in front of you doesn’t fit neatly into the box.

Live Lab afterwards! Resistration is required.
📅 July 25th
⏰ 1:30pm EDT
