Q I work, so it's hard to come in often. Realistically, how often do I need to visit?
A You don't need to come every day. We usually proceed with acupuncture once or twice a week along with herbal medicine taken daily, and we time treatment around your period when pain is concentrated, to reduce the burden.
Detailed Answer
The treatment schedule is set according to the severity of symptoms and your lifestyle circumstances. Typically you visit once or twice a week for acupuncture and steadily take the prescribed herbal medicine at home, so even working people who find it hard to make time face little burden. Since menstruation comes around once a month, treatment is sometimes concentrated around the period when the pain is severe.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
What matters more than the number of visits is the consistency of fully observing one cycle together. Taking your busy schedule into account, we design a realistic, sustainable treatment plan aligned with your menstrual cycle.
