Q I work in Dong-gu, Incheon. How often do I need to come in for treatment?
A You do not need to come every day. Typically acupuncture 1–2 times a week combined with daily herbal medicine is the approach. As symptoms stabilize, visit intervals can be extended to reduce the burden.
Detailed Answer
Abdominal pain treatment generally involves visiting 1–2 times per week during the initial 2–4 weeks, combining acupuncture with prescribed herbal medicine. Visit intervals are adjusted as symptoms improve, and in the maintenance phase they may reduce to once every 2 weeks to once a month. We can arrange schedules for working patients during lunch break or after work.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Consistency matters more than the number of visits. We help design a realistic treatment schedule that can be maintained even with a busy daily routine.
