Q I'm an office worker living in Dong-gu, Incheon and want to get a consultation for swelling. What's the process on the first visit to Dongjedang? Will I start care right away?
A At Dongjedang in Dong-gu, Incheon, the first visit begins with a consultation and pulse diagnosis to check the pattern of your swelling, lifestyle habits, medications, and existing conditions. This helps determine whether it's functional swelling or whether other causes need to be checked, and a care plan is set together afterward. We don't push everything on the first day — we guide you step by step according to your condition.
Detailed Answer
A swelling consultation starts with identifying the cause. At Dongjedang in Dong-gu, Incheon, the first visit involves a detailed check of when, where, and how much you swell, whether you sit or stand for long periods, your eating and drinking habits, and any medications or existing conditions. Pulse diagnosis and a physical check then help determine whether it's functional swelling from lifestyle habits or whether further checks are needed for other possible causes. Based on this, a care plan is set together, and it proceeds step by step according to your condition.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Dongjedang starts by identifying what is blocking your circulation. The approach differs for someone who sits for long hours, someone who eats salty food, or someone whose body is still recovering — even with the same swelling. In the first consultation, we design a direction tailored to your lifestyle that clears stagnant fluid and circulation while also reducing puffiness.
