DR. TAN'S BALANCE METHOD
- 立Li
- 竿Gan
- 見Jian
- 影Ying
set up a pole and see the shadow (Chinese idiom), INSTANT EFFECT
- Distal needling differs from other methods of acupuncture in that the needles are placed distally rather than locally (affected part)
- The patient will be asked to point out where exactly the pain is. The acupuncturist then works it out as to which could be the best meridian / acupoints to achieve good pain relief.
- Instant result is expected - Just the way you could see the shadow when you stand a pole under the Sun!
- After insertion of needles, to begin with, a reduction in the intensity of pain and the ability to move the restricted and painful part can be felt.
- The patient is encouraged to move the affected part which is free of needles.
- Good results are observed with very few needles placed in the correct balancing meridian.
- In order to maintain the pain relief achieved, it is essential to plan frequent treatment (minimum 2 times a week) to begin with. Later on the frequency could be reduced.
- The treatment plan is made to suit the patient’s individual needs
