AcuGraph Patient Report

!Enclosed is a copy of your AcuGraph exam report. This report gives the results of the AcuGraph Digital Meridian Imaging evaluation for the date and time indicated. This report assists your health care provider to choose the most appropriate treatment for this appointment."!!Understanding the AcuGraph Report

!The report shows the relative energetic balance in each of the acupuncture channels, or meridians, as well as the relationships between the channels. Some of the channels may show energetic disturbances, as indicated by the various colors shown on the graphs."!The results are shown in a variety of graphical formats, each highlighting different information. All the reports use a common group of abbreviations for the names of the various acupuncture channels, as follows:"!LU" Lung" PC" Pericardium " HT" Heart" SI" Small intestine" TE" Triple energizer" LI" Large intestine " SP" Spleen" LR" Liver" KI" Kidney" BL" Bladder" GB" Gall bladder" ST" Stomach" !Please don’t be alarmed if imbalances are indicated. These do not necessarily indicate disease, but rather they show energy imbalances in need of correction. According to the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine, these imbalances, left uncorrected, may lead to future problems and symptoms. Therefore, one of your practitioner’s goals will be to provide appropriate treatment to correct any imbalances shown in this report."!This report may also contain written information about any imbalances identified. Remember, this information is general and all statements may not specifically apply to your case, but will give generalized information about these findings."!!What to Expect

!Your practitioner will review and discuss this report with you and incorporate its findings into the treatment plan. The treatment will likely include future AcuGraph examinations to monitor progress during the course of treatment. If you have any questions, please discuss them with your health care provider.
