Q I work near Dongincheon and find it hard to visit often. How frequently should I come?
A We recommend acupuncture two to three times a week at the start, then adjust to your circumstances. If frequent visits are difficult, we raise the share of herbal medicine and lifestyle management and widen the interval. At the first visit we set a realistic plan around your work schedule.
Detailed Answer
The interval is kept short early on because that is when we are lifting the movement of a stiffened stomach. Once the response builds, many people maintain it with wider intervals. Lunch breaks and after-work hours are commonly used.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Missing a week does not break the process. If you keep the portion size, temperature, and post-meal walking during that time, we can continue from where we left off at your next visit. A schedule you can sustain gives better results than an ambitious one.
