#Treatment Schedule

Q How often should I visit for my first consultation? It is difficult for me to come frequently as I am a working professional.

A In the early stages, treatment 2 to 3 times a week is effective. As symptoms improve, the frequency is gradually increased to once a week, and then to once every two weeks. For working professionals, the schedule can be adjusted to minimize the initial intensive treatment period to promote rapid improvement.

Detailed Answer

For temporomandibular joint disorder treatment, intensive treatment 2 to 3 times a week is generally recommended during the acute phase (2 to 4 weeks). Subsequently, the frequency is reduced to once a week during the stabilization phase and to once every two weeks to a month during the maintenance phase. The total treatment period varies from 1 to 6 months depending on the severity of symptoms. You can utilize time during lunch breaks or after work, and we coordinate a treatment schedule tailored to your lifestyle during the initial consultation.

Perspective of Korean Medicine Clinic

In Korean medical treatment, the cumulative effect of stimulating the meridians to correct the flow of Qi and blood is important. If the stimulation intervals are too long in the early stages, it is difficult to receive the next treatment before the meridians return to a state of stagnation. If you successfully complete the first four weeks of intensive treatment, you will enter a stable state where the effects are maintained even if the intervals are extended thereafter. We discuss a realistic schedule during the initial consultation to help you balance work and treatment.
