Title : Ah-Shi AcuPoint Early Diagnosis & Acupuncture Treatment for Corporate Human Resource Wellness & Productivity
Abstract:
Corporate human resource productivity is the bottom-line concern of top-management for all agencies. However, the current executive screening / check-up of employees maybe cost restrictive beyond the usual simple annual physical examination. Would there be a more cost-effective approach to screen out potentially serious health concerns of our employees? The use of Traditional Oriental Medicine, in general, and Medical Acupuncture plus Oriental Healthy Lifestyle Coaching, in particular, shall enhance on the corporate human resource productivity in the government, non-government & private sector, thereby attaining corporate profit and/ or efficient service delivery.
According to the World Health Organization, the Alma-Ata Declaration of 1978 emerged as a major milestone of the twentieth century in the field of public health, and it identified primary health care as the key to the attainment of the goal of Health for All. This may be true among developed countries but for developing countries, such “Health for All” would necessitate lots of expensive resources. Most developing countries have looked into this effective & highly-successful tertiary care medical facilities, wherein such conditions as heart attack, stroke, diabetic foot care, or dialysis care.
Let’s just hope that our current health care delivery system could catch it in time before deterioration happens. Now, common sense dictates that preventive medicine shall figuratively ‘nip it at the bud” with lots of national savings too. We need to re-strategize our focus then thru an effective preventive medicine approach.
Traditional Oriental Medicine has track record for centuries, in diagnosing a person before a symptom would manifest itself. Our clinical experience among the employees at the Quirino Memorial Medical Center, a government-funded national hospital, has been effective in managing simple common ailments in the employees’ workplace, such as stress & anxiety, headaches, musculo-skeletal pains, common chronic non-communicable degenerative disorders, etc. Integrating acupuncture for such ailments is a come-on to allow the practitioner to detect those potentially serious condition, before it would become more expensive to manage if ignored & taken for granted, due to financial concerns.
Traditional Oriental Medical Diagnosis such as the meridian-assessment of organs it represents, would hone the healthy lifestyle modification thru customized coaching. Beyond the usual & classical pulse diagnosis &/or tongue diagnosis, the use of Dr. LAGAYA’s COMMUNITY-BASED “AH-SHI” ACU-POINT DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE, that I have been practicing for 35-years now, has an added advantage of it being simple, community-based, no technology involved and interactive with the patients. Identifying the sensitive organs as lungs, large intestines, stomach, just to mention a few, would enhance better patient coaching compliance in oriental healthy lifestyle modifications. Then acupuncture rebalancing of one’s yin & yang chi energies shall follow and be beneficially incorporated to our patients too.
The lecture will also involve interactive hands-on presentation and on-the-spot diagnosis of their ailments, thereby encouraging the ICTM-2022 audience to become aware of their own health issues, and in which the practitioner could replicate such techniques to their own patients, as well.
Ultimately, having a pain-free, disease-free human resources within any corporate agencies will surely boost its over-all profitability &/or service delivery.
