Q How often do I need to visit the Korean medicine clinic for headaches? I work in Dongincheon and don't have much time.
A For acute or chronic headaches, 2-3 times a week; once symptoms stabilize, this is reduced to once a week. We usually set 4-6 weeks as the first treatment period and then evaluate the effect.
Detailed Answer
For Korean medicine headache treatment, we recommend intensive treatment (2-3 times a week) in the first 2-3 weeks. After that, as symptoms improve, we switch to maintenance treatment (once a week), and once stabilized, reduce to 1-2 management visits per month. Working people can coordinate the schedule using evening appointments after work or their lunch break.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At the initial visit, the Dongjedang Head & Face Clinic performs pattern diagnosis of the headache type and draws up the treatment plan together with you. For busy working people, we efficiently run a treatment routine of acupuncture, nasal bloodletting, and craniosacral Chuna within 30-40 minutes, and even when visit intervals are long, we maintain continuity of care by combining brain-clearing herbal medicine.
