#Treatment Stages

Q How does the process of receiving tic treatment at a Korean medicine clinic unfold? I'm curious about what happens during the very first visit.

A At the first consultation, the practitioner assesses constitution, Liver-Gallbladder condition, and stress level, and records tic type and frequency. The following one to two months constitute an intensive treatment phase, during which acupuncture and herbal decoctions are used to regulate Liver Wind and Heart-Gallbladder Deficiency.

Detailed Answer

On the first visit, the Korean medicine practitioner assesses the child's constitution and current condition through the Four Examinations: observation, listening and smelling, inquiry, and palpation. Tic types, onset timing, aggravating factors, co-occurring symptoms such as ADHD and OCD, and family history are obtained in detail from the parents. A one-month treatment plan is established based on the initial examination. During the intensive phase of one to two months, tics are stabilized through twice-weekly acupuncture and daily herbal decoctions targeting Liver Wind and Heart-Gallbladder Deficiency, while tracking baseline changes in tic frequency and intensity. Caregivers are also guided to keep a log of screen time, sleep, and stress for use in evaluating treatment effectiveness.

Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective

Each child is different in the intensity of their Liver Wind, the depth of their Heart-Gallbladder Deficiency, and their constitution. Rather than applying a standard formula unchanged, individualizing prescriptions by fine-tuning herb ratios to match each child's unique condition is the foundation of Dongjedang's treatment approach.
