Q How often do I need to visit the clinic for migraines? I work in Dongincheon.
A For acute and chronic migraine, we recommend 2 to 3 times a week, reducing to once a week once stabilized. We set 4 to 6 weeks as the first treatment period, aiming for a 50% reduction in attack frequency.
Detailed Answer
For Korean Medicine treatment of migraine, we recommend intensive treatment (2 to 3 times a week) in the first 2 to 3 weeks, then transition to maintenance treatment (once a week) as symptoms improve. After stabilization, we reduce to 1 to 2 management visits a month to prevent recurrence. Working people can arrange their schedule using evening appointments after work or lunch breaks.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang's Head and Face Clinic, we run acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and craniosacral chuna efficiently within 30 to 40 minutes, so even busy people can visit without strain. When visit intervals lengthen, we combine brain-clearing decoctions to maintain treatment continuity. For those commuting near Dongincheon Station, evening appointments are convenient.
