Q How often do I need to receive Korean medicine treatment for the jaw joint? I'm so busy I can only come once a week. Will it still be effective?
A Two to three times a week is ideal in the early stage, but once a week is also effective if received consistently. Continuing the treatment matters more than the interval.
Detailed Answer
In the acute stage with severe pain and swelling, it is best to pass through the inflammation phase quickly with intensive treatment two to three times a week. Once symptoms have stabilized, once a week is sufficient. If you work, you can make use of lunchtime or evening treatment hours.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, the effect of acupuncture and Chuna treatment grows as the number of sessions accumulates. Between visits, keeping up heat therapy, neck stretches, and avoiding the restricted foods maintains the effect. Taking herbal medicine together helps sustain the body's internal balance even when the intervals between visits are long.
