What to check before you book
预约之前，先确认这四件事
-
Registration
TCM practitioners in Malaysia register with the Traditional and Complementary Medicine Division of the Ministry of Health. It is reasonable to ask a clinic whether its practitioners are registered.
马来西亚的中医师需在卫生部传统与辅助医学部注册。预约前询问医师是否注册，是很合理的问题。
-
Focus
Practitioners often have areas they see most: skin, women's health, pain and injury, or general internal medicine. Matching your concern to their focus usually makes the first visit more useful.
医师通常各有较常看的范畴：皮肤、妇科、痛症伤科、内科。让问题对上医师的专长，初诊通常会更有收获。
-
How they assess
A proper first visit includes pulse, tongue and a full conversation before anything is prescribed or treated.
完整的初诊，会先把脉、看舌、仔细问诊，然后才开药或治疗。
-
Whether they explain
You should leave knowing what the practitioner found, what they suggest, and why. If something is unclear, ask.
离开时，你应该知道医师看到了什么、建议做什么、为什么。有不明白的地方，直接问。
Different concerns, different practitioners
不同的问题，适合不同专长的医师
Chinese medicine covers a wide range. These are the areas people in KL most often look for.
中医涵盖的范围很广，以下是在 KL 最常被寻找的几类。
| If your concern is… | Look for a practitioner who sees | At Virtue TCM |
|---|---|---|

Acupuncture, herbs, tuina and structural work
针灸、中药、推拿、结构手法，有什么不同？
These are tools, and a practitioner may use one or combine several. Which ones suit you is decided after the assessment.
这些都是工具，医师可能只用一种，也可能搭配使用。用哪一种，是评估之后才决定的。
| Method | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Acupuncture针灸 | Fine, single-use needles placed at specific points, usually for 20–30 minutes.在特定穴位放置极细的一次性针具，通常留针 20–30 分钟。 |
| Herbal medicine中药 | A formula written for your pattern, often as granules to dissolve in water, reviewed as things change.依体质与状况开立的处方，多为冲服的颗粒，随变化调整。 |
| Tuina推拿 | Hands-on manual work along the muscles and meridians.沿着肌肉与经络进行的手法。 |
| SRM Structural TherapySRM 系统还原手法 ．结构疗法 | Virtue TCM's structural method, which looks at how tension and compensation spread across the body rather than only where it hurts.醫道閣的结构手法，看的是张力与代偿如何在全身延伸，而不只是痛的那一点。 |
What happens at a first consultation
第一次看中医，会发生什么？
Expect a 15-minute consultation. You describe what brought you in, in your own words. The practitioner asks about sleep, appetite, energy and how you sit or move, reads your pulse and looks at your tongue, then explains what they found and what they would suggest. You don't need to know which treatment you want beforehand.
问诊约 15 分钟。你用自己的话描述来的原因，医师会问睡眠、胃口、精神、坐姿与活动，把脉、看舌，然后说明看到了什么、建议做什么。你不需要事先知道要做哪一种疗程。
When pain keeps coming back
痛好了又回来，问题不一定在痛的地方
If massage or stretching helps for a few days and then the same area tightens again, the sore spot may be compensating for something elsewhere: an old ankle injury, a hip that doesn't turn evenly, or long hours at a desk. A practitioner who looks at how you stand and move, not only where it hurts, may find a different starting point.
如果按摩或拉筋只舒服几天，同一个地方又紧回来，痛的位置可能是在替别处代偿：旧的脚踝伤、转动不对称的髋关节，或长时间久坐。会看你怎么站、怎么动的医师，可能会找到不同的起点。

- Unexplained weight loss that continues 持续、不明原因的体重下降
If you are taking prescribed medication, don't stop it without speaking to your doctor. Bring your medication list to your TCM consultation.
正在服用医生开的药，请不要自行停药，看中医时把用药清单带来。

Common questions
常见问题
How much does a TCM consultation cost in KL?在 KL 看中醫，一次大約多少錢？
Fees vary between clinics and depend on what is prescribed. At Virtue TCM, a first consultation is RM 60 (RM 100 if you bring X-rays, blood tests or other reports for the practitioner to review); herbs and treatments such as acupuncture are charged separately, and the practitioner will explain costs before anything is given.各诊所收费不同，也视处方与疗程而定。醫道閣的初诊问诊费为 RM 60（如带 X 光、验血等报告请医师一起看，则为 RM 100），中药及针灸等疗程另计，医师会在进行前先说明费用。
Will I need to take herbs every day?需要每天吃中藥嗎？
Not everyone is prescribed herbs. When they are, a formula is usually written for two to three weeks at a time and adjusted at follow-ups.不是每个人都需要吃中药。需要的话，处方通常一次开两到三周，复诊时再调整。
Should I bring medical reports to my first visit?第一次需要帶醫療報告嗎？
If you have recent reports, scans or a medication list, bring them. A photo on your phone is fine.有近期的报告、影像检查或用药清单就带来，手机拍照即可。
Does acupuncture hurt?針灸會痛嗎？
The needles are about the width of a hair. Most people feel a brief prick or a dull, heavy sensation. If you are nervous about needles, say so; herbs, cupping and manual work don't use them.针大约一根头发粗细，多数人只感到短暂刺感或酸胀。怕针的话可以直接说，中药、拔罐与手法都不用针。
I'm not sure which treatment I need. What should I book?不確定該選哪一種療程，要預約什麼？
Book a general consultation. The practitioner will work out the next step with you after the assessment.预约一般问诊就好，医师会在评估之后和你一起决定下一步。
