In most cases, from a Chinese Medicine theory perspective, the "condition/issue" is not exclusively relevant. This section is here as a way to communicate potential approaches and present logical groupings of techniques and information. Treatments approaches would generally be designed with the diagnostic pattern(s) the person is presenting with in mind.
