Q My scalp has tingled under stress for several years now. Can something this long-standing still improve?
A Even long-standing symptoms can be expected to improve significantly by addressing the underlying tension and poor circulation. Since it has recurred for years, though, it's important to continue both treatment and lifestyle management consistently.
Detailed Answer
Tingling that has recurred for years can still be substantially reduced in frequency and intensity through treatment, as long as the root cause (neck and shoulder tension, stress-related heat rising in the body, etc.) is clear. However, long-standing habitual tension usually requires ongoing management over time rather than a single treatment.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Korean medicine places importance on gradually releasing tension and heat that has built up over time. Rather than trying to eliminate it all at once, steadily restoring circulation and balance allows even long-standing symptoms to be managed stably.
