Chuna manual therapy has been an officially recognized Korean medicine treatment for safety and efficacy since it was approved for national health insurance coverage in 2019. In cases of severe osteoporosis, fractures, or cervical instability (such as atlantoaxial subluxation), an X-ray check is needed before the procedure. Because pharmacopuncture injects a small amount of refined herbal extract intradermally, an allergic reaction can occur very rarely, so we check the patient's constitution before the first procedure.

Dongjedang Safety Procedures

• At the first visit, the cervical condition is assessed through history-taking and palpation before deciding on the Chuna technique
• Constitution and allergy status are checked before pharmacopuncture
• A system is in place for immediately reporting any adverse reactions after the procedure

At Dongjedang in Dongincheon, a Chuna-specialist Korean medicine doctor applies techniques tailored to each individual's cervical condition to enhance safety.
