Question 1

Is treatment necessary even if the pain is not severe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it may be necessary.
The intensity of pain and the degree of injury are not always proportional.
Even if it feels mild initially, if imbalances in the muscles, joints, or fascia remain, the pain may recur or worsen over time.
The earlier you receive treatment, the faster the recovery and the lower the risk of recurrence.

Question 2

Can I just receive acupuncture treatment?

Accepted Answer

It is possible depending on the symptoms, but the effectiveness is better when treated together.
Acupuncture is effective for muscle relaxation and pain relief.
However, if inflammation, blood stasis (eohyeol), or myofascial adhesion are present, combining it with pharmacopuncture and Chuna manual therapy will significantly improve the speed of recovery and the durability of the results.

Question 3

I feel even more sore after the acupuncture treatment, is that normal?

Accepted Answer

You may feel more soreness temporarily after the treatment.
This is a process of your body adapting to the changes as the stiff muscles and fascia are released.
It usually subsides within 1 to 2 days; if the discomfort persists, we will adjust the intensity of the treatment.

Question 4

Will I feel better immediately after receiving treatment?

Accepted Answer

Many people feel a change early on, but there are individual differences.
Most people feel relief from acute pain after 3 to 5 sessions of treatment, but it is important to follow the recommended course of treatment for functional recovery and to prevent recurrence.

Question 5

Can I continue my daily activities or exercise during treatment?

Accepted Answer

It is possible.
However, the intensity needs to be adjusted.
Light walking or stretching is helpful, and when exercising alone, it is recommended to avoid movements that worsen the pain.
Depending on your condition, we will provide lifestyle and exercise guidelines together.

Question 6

Will it not hurt again after the treatment is finished?

Accepted Answer

The recurrence rate is significantly lowered when maintenance is performed alongside treatment.
Pain treatment is completed when it progresses from 'pain relief → functional recovery → maintenance'.
It is important to manage posture, lifestyle habits, and muscle balance together.

Question 7

How long does the treatment take?

Accepted Answer

It usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
However, if you have a specific time you need to leave, please let us know in advance, and we will adjust the treatment accordingly.
