Q In what order does the clinic manage swelling?
A We first screen for danger signs and read your body composition to see how fluid is distributed. Early on we focus on releasing pooled surplus fluid through urine and sweat, then reduce digestive stagnation so circulation is not blocked. Finally we lift metabolism and activity to build a state where fluid no longer pools.
Detailed Answer
If body composition shows fluid skewed to one compartment, we weight the early release stage more heavily. Where digestive stagnation dominates, we lighten the stomach first. For those with little activity and low muscle, lifestyle work using the calves matters as much as treatment.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
The order matters. Draining water while leaving metabolism untouched means it returns the moment care ends. Swelling falling in the first few weeks is only the beginning — the goal is a state that holds.
