Q I am an office worker. How often do I need to come to the clinic? I work in Dong-gu, Incheon.
A For the first 2 to 3 weeks, intensive treatment 2 to 3 times a week, then reduced to once a week, and once it stabilizes, maintenance 1 to 2 times a month. Dongjedang, near Dongincheon Station, offers evening appointments after work so you can arrange your schedule.
Detailed Answer
Treatment Frequency Roadmap
- Stage 1 (weeks 1-3): 2 to 3 times a week - intensive Chuna, pharmacopuncture, and acupuncture
- Stage 2 (weeks 4-8): once a week - maintenance treatment combined with herbal medicine
- Stage 3 (week 9 onward): 1 to 2 times a month - recurrence-prevention care
Guidance for Busy Office Workers
Because Chuna, pharmacopuncture, and acupuncture are carried out efficiently within 30 to 40 minutes, you can comfortably visit during your lunch break or after work. Those working in the Dong-gu and Dongincheon areas of Incheon can reach Dongjedang on foot from Dongincheon Station on Line 1. Between treatments, heat-clearing herbal medicine maintains continuity of care.
