AcuGraph Digital Meridian Imaging

Maitri is currently the only clinic in North West England offering AcuGraph technology.

Our newly upgraded, latest-generation AcuGraph system brings clear digital insight to your acupuncture experience at our clinic in Woolton, Liverpool.

An AcuGraph assessment is a quick and comfortable process that takes measurements at specific acupuncture points on the hands and feet. The results are displayed within minutes as clear, colour-coded graphs, making patterns in your acupuncture meridian activity easier to see and understand.

Dr Arun Vijayan will review and explain your results as part of the assessment. The information provides a useful visual reference to support clinical decision-making and inform a personalised acupuncture treatment plan.

When AcuGraph readings are repeated during a course of treatment, they can help Dr VJ observe changes in meridian activity and better understand how the patient is responding, alongside their symptoms, feedback and wider clinical assessment.
