Clinical Focus Areas
An overview of the clinical patterns commonly addressed in practice
Many patients arrive after years of searching, trying different treatments, and receiving one or more diagnoses — yet their symptoms persist, shift, or return.
Rather than treating diagnoses in isolation, care focuses on identifying patterns of imbalance across the body’s regulatory systems and restoring whole-system function through clinical evaluation.
About Diagnosis Names
Many patients come to care asking whether a specific diagnosis can be treated. While diagnosis names may be useful for records or insurance purposes, they do not always reflect how the body’s regulatory systems are functioning — which is the primary focus of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In clinical practice, different diagnosis names may share similar underlying patterns, and individuals with the same diagnosis may present very differently. For this reason, care is not based on diagnosis names alone, but on an individual clinical evaluation.
Diagnosis names patients commonly mention include:
Chronic pain conditions (low back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee pain) Chronic fatigue and exhaustion Brain fog and cognitive slowing Stress-related symptoms Sleep disorders and insomnia Anxiety and depression Long-COVID–related dysregulation Autoimmune-related conditions Lyme disease and alpha-gal syndrome Digestive disorders (bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS) Women’s health concerns (PMS, irregular cycles, menopause, fibroids, infertility) High blood pressure and circulation-related concerns Headaches, migraines, tinnitus, dizziness Respiratory conditions such as asthma or chronic bronchitis Skin and inflammatory conditions
This list reflects diagnosis names patients commonly mention. It is not a complete list and does not replace clinical evaluation.
Common Functional Regulation Concerns
Pain & Musculoskeletal Regulation
Sleep, Energy & Nervous System Regulation
Digestive & Metabolic Regulation
System-Level & Complex Clinical Patterns
Cardiac System Regulation & Hypertension
For individuals whose blood pressure is currently controlled by medication — but who seek to restore natural regulation and reduce long-term dependence. Also appropriate for those with early or rising blood pressure, or cardiac-related concerns, who wish to support heart and vascular health through whole-system regulation.
Complex, Multi-System Health Decline​
For individuals experiencing progressive health deterioration involving multiple systems over time, often after years of chronic stress, illness, or repeated interventions. Symptoms may appear unrelated, fluctuate, or worsen despite ongoing care, reflecting reduced overall system resilience and regulatory capacity.
Autoimmune & Inflammation Problems
For complex immune-related conditions where symptoms persist, fluctuate, or remain unexplained —even after extensive testing, medication, or specialist care. Including patterns involving autoimmunity, chronic inflammation, or hormonal imbalance, and multi-system symptoms without a clear single cause.
Whole-Person Regulation, Vitality & System Restoration
For individuals with overlapping symptoms, recurring discomfort or pain, or declining vitality —as well as those seeking to strengthen immune resilience and overall system capacity —who want to move beyond managing problems and restore whole-system function.
Care is guided by system-level patterns rather than isolated symptoms or diagnosis names.
Conditions We Commonly Work With​
This care may be appropriate if you are experiencing:
-
persistent or recurring symptoms that have not fully resolved
-
chronic or long-standing conditions
-
complex or multi-system presentations
-
symptoms that shift, migrate, or worsen under stress
-
situations where standard approaches have plateaued
​
Important Clarification
Not all conditions are appropriate for care.
Treatment recommendations are made only after an in-person clinical evaluation.
Outcomes cannot be guaranteed, and care is individualized based on each person’s unique system response.
