Q I'm looking for somewhere to go near Dong-gu, Incheon. What happens on a first visit for dizziness and tinnitus?
A At the first visit, we listen in detail to when and how the dizziness and tinnitus appear and what your hearing and lifestyle patterns are like, and then examine you. Based on that, we establish the pattern diagnosis, a treatment plan, the herbal prescription, and the direction for lifestyle management together.
Detailed Answer
When you first come in, we ask thoroughly and examine whether the dizziness is spinning or a floating feeling, in which postures or situations it is worse, and what the pitch of the tinnitus is along with any change in hearing or a blocked-ear sensation. If you have any hearing tests or imaging results, we review them together. If there are signs suggesting central dizziness, we first guide you toward detailed testing.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Even with the same dizziness and tinnitus, the background differs from person to person, such as dampness and phlegm, Kidney deficiency, or deficiency of qi and blood. At the first visit, the Dongjedang head and facial region clinic considers it important to grasp those differences fully and set a treatment direction tailored to the body's internal circulation and constitution, rather than merely suppressing symptoms. We also design a realistic schedule together so that even busy patients can attend without burden.
