A diagnostic scan that guides your treatment plan at Advanced Acupuncture

What it is

A diagnostic scan that guides your treatment plan

Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA) is a non-invasive diagnostic method that measures reflex responses at specific points on the body to help identify areas of stress or imbalance. It is used as a starting point and a check-in - not as a replacement for acupuncture, herbal medicine or any other therapy, but as the tool that helps target them more precisely.

Dr. Tsai uses CRA findings alongside your health history, symptoms and any prior medical evaluation to build - or refine - the plan that follows. It is a complementary wellness assessment, and it does not replace diagnosis or care from your medical doctor.

Our process

Five simple steps

What to expect during your session

A CRA session is quick, gentle and entirely painless - most patients are surprised by how simple it is.

  • A short intake of your current symptoms and history
  • A gentle handheld probe touched to reflex points - no needles
  • Readings taken across several body systems
  • A plain-language walkthrough of what was found
  • A treatment plan built from the results

  • Weakened immune function
  • Sleep issues

What is CRA, exactly?
Contact Reflex Analysis is a non-invasive diagnostic method that measures reflex responses at specific points on the body to help identify areas of stress or imbalance, so your plan can be built around real findings rather than guesswork.
Is CRA a treatment by itself?
No - CRA is a diagnostic step. It informs the therapies that follow, such as acupuncture, herbal medicine or detox therapy, rather than replacing them.
Does a CRA scan hurt?
Not at all. A handheld probe is gently touched to reflex points on the body - there are no needles and no discomfort involved.
Does CRA replace a medical diagnosis?
No. CRA is a complementary wellness assessment used alongside your care, not a substitute for evaluation and diagnosis by your medical doctor.
How often is CRA repeated?
Many patients have it done at the initial consultation and then periodically - often every few visits - to see how their plan is progressing and whether adjustments are needed.
What happens after my CRA session?
Dr. Tsai reviews the findings with you in plain language, then recommends the specific therapies - acupuncture, herbs, detox support and others - that fit what the scan and your history show.
