Pulse Diagnosis

I just recently took a CEU class(Continuing Education Credit) to learn how to balance the pulses better and I'd like to share a little about pulses since this is something we learn as a foundation but it is important to hone our skills as acupuncturists. Dr. Martha Lucas from Colorado taught the 3 day class and she really opened my eyes to what we the objective truly is when reading pulses. Pulse balance is the exact objective of an acupuncture treatment.

To me, the goal as an acupuncturist is to open pathways to let the patient be able to create their own healing process.

Through pulse diagnosis we can see many aspects of a patients life, from childhood to adulthood. When feeling the pulse in the Spleen position it not only tells about the current digestion of the patient but also if the patient has had spiritual nurturing in their life or not. By understanding the root or core of a patient via their pulses it allows me to treat current conditions fully and to the best of my ability. Point selection is still important however instead of using protocols out of text books, pulse balancing allows me to truly treat each person as an individual each time they come in for the imbalances they have at the moment. When your pulses are balanced your Qi is balanced and you feel like the best version of yourself. If you want to feel what balanced is liked, give us a call to schedule your appointment.
