Start 2026 with More Clarity in Your Clinic

A new year is the perfect time to refine how we support our patients—and how we manage our practice. One powerful way to bring more structure and consistency to your workflow is by creating TCM-informed care pathways.

A care pathway is a simple, organized roadmap that guides patients from their first visit through ongoing maintenance. It gives them a clear sense of what to expect while still allowing you to personalize treatment based on pattern differentiation, tongue/pulse findings, and seasonal factors.

Why Care Pathways Help Your Practice:
• Improve communication and patient confidence
• Strengthen treatment consistency
• Streamline documentation and scheduling
• Support long-term engagement

How to Build a Basic Care Pathway:

Choose a focus area (stress, digestion, sleep, musculoskeletal, cycle support).

Outline the intake phase so patients know what the first visits include.

Map a 4–6 week core treatment plan with visit frequency + reassessment points.

Add simple home practices like acupressure or breathing routines.

Transition to maintenance with monthly or seasonal tune-ups.

Examples of Pathways:
• Stress & Emotional Wellness
• Digestive Harmony (great for post-holiday season)
• Musculoskeletal Recovery

Creating structured pathways doesn’t limit your clinical creativity—it strengthens it. Patients feel more supported, your workflow becomes smoother, and your practice gains clarity all year long.

🎉 This past weekend, Sun Ten proudly participated in a historic celebration! 🎉

We were honored to be one of the sponsors for the 50-Year Anniversary Celebration of Acupuncture Legalization in California, hosted by the APAPA Pacific Coast Chapter and the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine. The event commemorated Governor Jerry Brown’s signing of SB 86 in 1975—marking the official recognition of acupuncture as a licensed healing art in California.

🌿 Over the past five decades, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine have grown into trusted pillars of whole-person health. This event highlighted how TCM is used far beyond pain relief—supporting preventive care, chronic condition management, and emotional well-being.

👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ We were inspired by the powerful conversations, educational panels, and community spirit throughout the day. It was an honor to connect with dedicated healthcare professionals, educators, and patients who continue to shape the future of integrative medicine.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Sun Ten table to learn about our practitioner-grade herbal formulas and celebrate with us. We look forward to the next 50 years of advancing East-West medicine—together.
