Q How long do I need to receive treatment for facial asymmetry before I notice improvement?
A Asymmetry caused by muscles or posture usually shows change after three to six months of treatment. Cases involving the shape of the bone require a longer period.
Detailed Answer
The treatment period for facial asymmetry differs depending on the cause. When one-sided muscle development or poor posture is the cause, left-right symmetry begins to improve from around the third month after consistent Chuna and acupuncture treatment. We adjust the treatment plan while objectively confirming the change with photographs.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we use Chuna to align the neck and pelvis and release stiff muscles, reducing the difference in left-right tension. In doing so, we consider it important to restore the circulation of the whole body together, not just the jaw and face. Recovery speed varies with constitutional type and lifestyle habits, and addressing triggers together shortens the period.
