Hip Pain

During the acute phase (pain score of 4 or higher, limited walking), treatment 2 to 3 times a week rapidly reduces inflammation and accelerates recovery. During the subacute phase (pain score of 2 to 3, functional recovery), the frequency is adjusted to 1 to 2 times a week, combined with rehabilitation exercises. During the maintenance phase (symptoms gone, prevention of recurrence), management treatment once every 2 to 4 weeks is often sufficient. Intensive treatments such as moxibustion and bee venom acupuncture are performed at intervals of 2 to 3 weeks, while acupuncture and pharmacopuncture can be administered more frequently. If you adjust your schedule flexibly to fit your work or studies, you can continue your treatment without difficulty. Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective

The frequency of Korean medicine treatments is designed to facilitate the accumulation of Qi and blood circulation in the body with each session. It is efficient to treat frequently at first to stimulate the meridians, and then increase the intervals once the body begins to maintain that state. For chronic hip pain caused by weakened kidney energy, consistent long-term management lowers the recurrence rate more effectively than short-term intensive treatment. Dongjedang operates five days a week, allowing working professionals to visit in the evening, and we establish a treatment schedule together during the initial consultation. On days when visiting is difficult, we provide guidance on self-care exercises and heat therapy that can be performed at home.
