Q As an office worker, it's hard to come often on weekdays. Realistically, how often do I need to visit?
A You don't need to come every day. We usually proceed with acupuncture once or twice a week and daily herbal medicine, and using Saturday appointments too, office workers can be treated while maintaining their routine.
Detailed Answer
The treatment cycle is set according to symptom severity and life circumstances. Usually you visit once or twice a week for acupuncture, and at home you consistently take the prescribed herbal medicine, so it places little burden even on those who find it hard to make time often. Early on we see you a bit more frequently to gauge your response, and as symptoms stabilize, we lengthen the intervals.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
What matters is consistency rather than the number of visits. Considering your busy schedule, we design a realistically achievable treatment plan together, and when work is hectic, we flexibly adjust so you can maintain the flow with herbal medicine alone.
