If you are looking to design a treatment, you may start by reading our acupuncture treatment protocol sections or our series on common acupressure points from our blog.

Generally the basis for forming a treatment plan with acupuncture is driven by their tcm diagnosis (or "pattern") and their health issues/symptoms (or "conditions"), so we have points grouped under those sections as well.

To form a treatment, reading "treating the cause vs. the effect", "designing an acupuncture treatment" and "acupuncture treatment prognosis guidelines" on our blog will be good starting points.
