Your consultation and treatment will be by appointment in one of the clinics that Dr. Cheng attends. You will be asked to fill out a Patient Record which asks for general personal details and a brief description of your current symptoms and medical history. Dr. Cheng will then ask you to expand on the history of your current symptoms, any tests you may have from orthodox medicine and any treatment you are currently receiving or have received.

Dr. Cheng will find out about your general lifestyle including your diet, sleeping patterns and emotional state. He will perform a traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis such as taking your pulse and asking you to show your tongue. Where necessary, Dr. Cheng will carry out physiological tests similar to those performed by orthodox western doctors, such as measuring your blood pressure, measuring the range of movements of your joints, neck and spine, and palpating your abdomen. These are all important ways for Dr. Cheng’s to assess the general state of your health and find out where imbalance within your body is occurring.
