Treatment Plan

If you are satisfied with the consultation and feel we are the right person for you, we can discuss the next steps for your specific state.

A practical approach shaped around you

Your treatment plan at Rainbow Medicine reflects your symptoms, health history, preferences and goals.

We discuss whether acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine or a combination may be appropriate. We also consider how complementary care fits with your existing medical treatment.

Setting meaningful goals

Your goals might include moving more comfortably, sleeping better or managing everyday activities with greater ease.

Together, we agree on what to monitor and when to review progress. The number and frequency of appointments depend on your condition and response; there is no single schedule that suits everyone.

Reviewing your progress

At follow-up appointments, we discuss changes in symptoms, daily function and any unwanted effects. Your plan may be adjusted, paused or concluded according to your progress and preferences.

If herbal medicine is recommended, we explain how to take it and any relevant precautions. Tell us about changes to your medicines or health so we can review its suitability.

Discuss a treatment plan that fits your needs at your next consultation.

Treatment outcomes vary. Changes to prescribed medicines should be discussed with your prescribing clinician.
