First I want to say GOOD JOB!<\/p>\n

We had a huge response to my last blog: The Graphing Game<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I loved reading your individualized perspectives on this patient’s graph. So many of your responses were right on. Isn’t it awesome how experienced AcuGraph users\u00a0 can look at a graph and learn so much about a patient?<\/p>\n

Patients are really impressed when you\u00a0 pinpoint certain aspects of their life based on graph analysis. In fact, when I shared your perspectives on the graph with this patient, he was VERY impressed you were able to recognize so many of his health problems.<\/p>\n

Here’s the graph we were analyzing. If you want to go back and read the whole original article, click here: The Graphing Game<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a>Below you’ll find breakdown of what YOU found by analyzing at the graph.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a>It was interesting for me to read the multiple perspectives on WHY your answers were chosen. That’s one of the things I really love about AcuGraph. Every graph gives you a different perspective, depending on how you view Chinese medicine diagnostics. Are you a 5-Element practitioner? Do you analyze best by looking at Yin\/Yang disorders such as Tai Yin, Shao Yin, Yang Ming, etc? Or does looking at the flow of energy from channel to channel make more sense to you? AcuGraph has many ways to analyze the patient.<\/p>\n

If you really want a great learning opportunity, I’d suggest you go back and read the comments section under The Graphing Game<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>blog. Our AcuGraph users have a lot of really great insight.<\/p>\n

Okay, let’s see how you did.<\/p>\n

Case Study<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

The Patient:<\/strong> 62-year-old male<\/span><\/p>\n

Chief Complaint:<\/strong> Back pain<\/span><\/p>\n

Background:<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Busy business man. Just returned from a two-week trip out of the country. About 80 pounds overweight. Spends most of his time working. Comes for acupuncture to alleviate chronic lower back pain. Isn’t too interested in working on lifestyle, mostly comes in for pain relief.<\/span>

We’ll talk about the symptoms he presented with that day as we analyze each graph below.<\/p>\n

The first thing I look at in the Baseline Graph is upper body versus lower body. In his case, the lower body is more excess than the upper body. It’s not a “belt block” per say, but questions are formulating…<\/p>\n
