Q It's hard to come more than once a week because of work. How often do I need to come for Korean medicine treatment?
A In the early phase, intensive treatment 2 to 3 times a week produces results faster, but it is also possible to start with once a week and adjust according to your condition. We design the acupuncture treatment around your visit frequency and use herbal medicine to cover the periods between visits.
Detailed Answer
Acupuncture for facial spasm applies pharmacopuncture and electroacupuncture to the acupoints along the facial nerve path (Jichang ST4, Hyeopgeo ST6, Sabaek ST2, Taeyang EX-HN5, etc.). Because nervous-system conditions have a cumulative effect, concentrating on 2 to 3 sessions or more per week early on brings faster change. If once a week is the limit due to work, we bridge the treatment between visits with herbal medicine and also guide you in home methods such as warm compresses and self-acupressure. We evaluate the change in spasm frequency at the 3-month mark and re-adjust the schedule.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Even if the number of visits is limited, the herbal medicine regulates the Liver-Wind and phlegm-fluid state internally every day, so it can fill in a large part of the treatment gap. When you do come, we plan to apply electroacupuncture and pharmacopuncture as efficiently and intensively as possible.
