Summary

52F — Treatment 4 of 10 for chronic lower back pain, Qi and Blood stagnation with underlying Kidney Qi deficiency. Reporting 40% pain reduction since intake.

Subjective

Dull, achy lumbar pain, worse with prolonged sitting, better with movement. Pain today 4/10, down from 7/10 at intake. Sleep improved to 7 hours uninterrupted. Work stress lower this week; digestion normal. Following dietary advice to reduce cold, raw foods.

Objective

  • Tongue: pale with slight purple hue, thin white coat
  • Pulse: wiry, slightly weak at both chi positions
  • Palpation: tenderness at right BL25 and GB30, reduced from last visit

Assessment

Qi and Blood stagnation in the lower back with underlying Kidney Qi deficiency, improving. Pain reduction, sleep, and palpation findings on track with the treatment plan.

Plan

  • Points: BL23, BL25, GB30, ST36, SP6, LI4 — even method, 25 min retention
  • Moxibustion on BL23 bilateral
  • Continue warming diet; add gentle daily walking
  • Next treatment in 5 days; reassess progress at treatment 6

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Acupuncture charting is its own discipline

Six treatments a day, six notes a night

Frequent-visit care means every patient generates a steady stream of notes. Documenting points, technique, retention time, and treatment response for each one quietly eats your evenings.

Two medical languages in one chart

You think in patterns — Qi stagnation, Kidney deficiency — but insurers and referring physicians expect Western-legible SOAP notes. Writing both takes twice as long.

Repeat visits still need unique notes

A patient on a 10-treatment course needs each visit charted with today's pulse, tongue, points, and progress. Copy-forward notes won't hold up if a payer or board reviews the course of care.

TCM fluency

Speaks point names and pattern differentiation

Medical Scribe recognizes acupuncture point nomenclature (BL23, ST36, LI4), pulse and tongue findings, and TCM pattern language — so the note reads the way you actually assess.

Speaks point names and pattern differentiation
Course-of-care notes

Every treatment in the course stands on its own

Each visit generates a fresh note from that day's conversation — updated pain scores, today's point prescription, technique, and retention — so progress across a treatment course is visible and defensible.

Charting that keeps up with a full treatment schedule

An acupuncture intake is a long, wide-ranging conversation — constitution, sleep, digestion, emotions, treatment history. Follow-up treatments are shorter but relentless. Medical Scribe records either kind of visit, in person or telehealth, and drafts the note while you needle, cup, or apply moxa. You review, adjust, and sign after the patient is off the table.

What lands in the Acupuncturist’s Note

The built-in Acupuncturist’s Note follows your clinical logic: Subjective captures the patient’s report, emotional state, lifestyle factors, and treatment history; Objective records pulse diagnosis, tongue observation, and exam findings; Assessment holds your TCM diagnosis and differentiation; Plan documents points, technique, lifestyle recommendations, and follow-up. Prefer different sections? Build a custom template in minutes.

Notes that respect your diagnostic method

Pattern differentiation is a judgment call — and the note never makes it for you. Medical Scribe documents only the pulse qualities, tongue findings, and patterns you actually voiced during the visit; it never invents clinical findings. Your chart reflects your assessment, stated in your terms, defensible to any board, payer, or referring physician who reads it.

Frequently asked questions

Does it understand TCM terminology and point names?

Yes. It recognizes point nomenclature like BL23 and ST36, pulse and tongue descriptions, and pattern differentiation language, and places them in the right sections of the built-in Acupuncturist's Note template.

Will the notes support insurance or personal injury documentation?

Notes capture pain scores, functional changes, and treatment response visit by visit — the progress trail reviewers look for when acupuncture is covered. You review and sign every note before it enters the record.

How do I record when my hands are full of needles?

Start recording from your phone, Apple Watch, Mac, or the web app before you begin — no typing during treatment. It works for in-person visits and telehealth consults alike, in 57 languages.

Can I use my own note format instead of SOAP?

Yes. The Acupuncturist's Note is a SOAP format, but Medical Scribe also supports DAP and fully custom formats — you can build a template matching your clinic's charting style in minutes.
