Q I am 40 and work near Dongincheon in Incheon. It is hard to find time on weekdays. How should I set the interval between treatments?
A Early on, when pain is strong, we usually narrow the interval to about twice a week to observe the response, then extend to weekly and later every other week as it eases. If time is tight, booking a lunchtime or immediately-after-work slot in advance is more reliable. Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic is on Dongsan-ro in Dong-gu, Incheon, an easy trip from Dongincheon Station or nearby workplaces.
Detailed Answer
The interval depends on the stage of the pain. While pain surfaces often, keeping the interval short so that released areas do not stiffen again is more efficient; once the pain settles, we extend the interval and switch to maintenance. Keeping to a set interval gives better results than straining to come every day.
If work makes regular visits difficult, please tell us at the first consultation. We build the treatment plan around the days and times you can manage, and provide guidance on self-care for the periods when you cannot come.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Given the character of the Dong-gu area of Incheon, many of our patients work on their feet or sit for long hours, so we take scheduling realities seriously. For those who cannot come often, we build a plan that adjusts treatment intensity per visit and raises the share of self-care.
