I recently received an email from a practitioner asking some really important questions about AcuGraph.  I thought many of you would benefit from hearing the answer too–so I’ll address it in today’s blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Kimberly,<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been in deep thought the past couple of weeks on how to really know how many treatments each patient needs<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 I have been starting patients out with 1 course of care (12 visits) and then doing a progress exam to determine what steps to take next and now as I am reaching my progress exams I do not have a definite answer of how to move forward.\u00a0 I graph my patients during their exam and once again at the progress exam<\/strong><\/span>–the graphs come back either improved or worse and I know that when the body is healing other areas become blocked or deficient while the body learns how to function normally again.<\/span>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am wondering what you base your treatment plans on?<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0 Do you have some sort of rating system that you use? \u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any suggestions, advice or ideas is greatly appreciated!<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are really GREAT questions–which are common for a lot of practitioners. I’ll break my answer into three parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: What Happens when a New Patient Comes into my Clinic?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When a patient comes in for their FIRST visit\u2013I do a full evaluation which includes a complete history and intake, AcuGraph diagnostics, a printed AcuGraph report, AND treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I’m going over the AcuGraph findings, patients almost always ask how many times they will need to be treated. My answer goes something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
