Unique Diagnosis and Treatment Approach of Acupuncture
Dr. Lingling Qin  applies TCM approach to treat her patients. She will go through the whole history of her patient first; do observation (facial, general appearance etc.); and tongue, pulse diagnosis, which is a very important part of diagnosis process of the Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) and Acupuncture(note: in order to accurately get the diagnosis, do not drink coffee, juice or eat something can tint the color of the tongue coating and do not brush off the tongue coating before the appointment).

Then she will conclude where is the weakness or excess and which organs are involved? Is Yin and Yang balanced? Is the Qi deficient? All above information will guide Dr. to select the right acupuncture points. After initial treatment, the tongue and pulse will be re-examined during the whole course of each follow up treatment in order to know any change of the disease, especially for those conditions which involve the internal organs dysfunction. She treats the root of cause, not only the symptoms.

Also, she treats a variety range of internal dysfunction with Chinese formula medicine, for those cases which conventional western medicine couldn't deal with. It's a great complimentary way to treat with minimal side effects. Acupuncture combined with Chinese herbs is a very good method to optimize the systems and to achieve a balance. After treatment, she will give advice of proper diet, lifestyle, and exercises etc.
