AcuGraph and the Medical Practice

AcuGraph makes an excellent addition to many branches of Medical practice. Because the ancient healing system of acupuncture is applicable to such a broad spectrum of medical conditions, a wide variety of medical practitioners rely on AcuGraph to provide objective evaluation and monitoring of progress. AcuGraph goes beyond tradition to provide Evidence-Based Acupuncture™ services.

AcuGraph is fast and efficient enough for the high-volume practice and provides a valuable additional service in high demand.

Acupuncture, AcuGraph and CAM

It’s no secret that the public increasingly seeks Complimentary and Alternative Medical (CAM) treatments for a wide variety of conditions. Acupuncture is the largest organized branch of the various CAM therapies; it is widely accepted, well regulated, and quite effective. Acupuncture has a tremendously good safety record, and almost no side effects.

Acupuncture treatment is applicable to many medical specialties including anesthesiology, urology, orthopedics, physical medicine, psychiatry, obstetrics, geriatrics, internal medicine, cardiology, and even pediatrics.

Physicians who practice acupuncture rely on AcuGraph to provide objective analysis of the patient’s acupuncture meridians, and correct recommendations for acupuncture treatment. Additionally, AcuGraph greatly facilitates doctor-patient communication and understanding for improved treatment outcomes.

“I’m impressed! AcuGraph transforms an already stellar assessment tool into a great educational device. This is particularly valuable for those of us involved in teaching and clinical research. Thank you for an outstanding product!”

—Bruce R. Gilbert, M.D., Ph.D

What about needles?

AcuGraph does NOT require the use of needles to be effective. Many practitioners use microcurrent, acupressure, laser, or other modalities to stimulate the applicable acupuncture points and restore balance to the patient.

AcuGraph provides objective, computerized documentation of the need for and the effectiveness of your care, all in a format patients readily embrace. This quick outcome measure gives patients confidence in your care and proof of effectiveness, while giving you added insights for your clinical care decisions. With AcuGraph Evidence-Based Acupuncture™, there is no simply no guesswork. It’s like a lab test for acupuncture.

—Kent Christianson, D.C.

Practice Building

Though many patients may be interested in acupuncture as a potential treatment option, some have reservations about seeking this type of care. They may be concerned about finding a qualified practitioner, and are much more open to receiving acupuncture services in your office where they already have an established relationship, and where you are already familiar with their case.

AcuGraph provides a scientific way for you to practice acupuncture, and provide the services your patients want and need. The high-tech aspect of computerized diagnosis enhances your professional image and removes the mystery and fear from acupuncture treatment. AcuGraph patients regularly refer their friends and family for the same fast, easy exam and treatments they experienced. They have the printed exam results to show as proof of the effectiveness of their care, and they are feeling so much better, they can’t help but brag about your practice.

“The AcuGraph is absolutely loaded with so many new and helpful, doctor-friendly features that I wonder how I managed without them. I am enjoying my acupuncture practice like never before. Thank you for making it all so simple, easy, and convenient. By the way, my acupuncture practice has tripled in a matter of weeks, and needless to say the equipment has more than paid for itself.”

 —Allen Roberds, D.C., Dipl. Ac. (IAMA)
