Special Diagnosis System
Headaches require cooling the heat and restoring flow
Headaches and dizziness are primarily caused by a state of upper heat, lower cold (上熱下寒) in the body. Heat generated by stress or digestive dysfunction rises upward, tormenting the head, while the back and extremities grow cold, blocking circulation.
Additionally, when the neck and shoulder muscles stiffen and compress the blood vessels and nerves leading to the brain, the brain senses oxygen deficiency and sends pain signals.
At 동제당한의원, we don't simply eliminate pain — we clear the rising heat (火) and release the stiffened neck and shoulders to improve cerebral blood flow.
A clearer head and refreshed eyes — made possible through fundamental circulatory treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. My MRI came back normal.
A. MRI detects organic conditions like brain tumors or hemorrhage, but cannot reveal 'functional' circulatory issues or nerve hypersensitivity. Korean medicine treatment is effective for these cases.
Q. Is chuna (manual therapy) really necessary?
A. When cervical vertebrae are misaligned and compressing nerves (cervicogenic headache), chuna therapy corrects the structure so pain resolves more quickly.
Q. Can headaches be treated during pregnancy?
A. Yes, we offer acupuncture treatments safe for pregnant women and gentle herbal medicines that pose no risk to the fetus to manage pain.
