My head feels foggy and I can't concentrate... Is it 'brain fog'? | Long COVID
안녕하세요, 백록담한의원입니다. 허리디스크는 우리 주변에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 질환입니다. 주로 나이가 많은 사람들에게 발생한다고 생각하기 쉽지만, 최근에는 젊은 세대에서도 발생률이 증가하고 있습니다. 오늘은 허리디스크의 원인과 증상, 그리고 한의학적 치료법에 대해 자세히 알아보겠습니다. <h2>허리디스크의 원인</h2> 허리디스크는 척추뼈 사이에 있는 디스크(추간판)가 제 위치를 벗어나 신경을 압박하면서 발생하는 질환입니다. 주요 원인은 다음과 같습니다. <h3>1. 잘못된 자세</h3> 장시간 앉아 있거나 서 있을 때 구부정한 자세, 다리 꼬는 자세 등 잘못된 자세는 척추에 무리를 주어 디스크에 압력을 증가시키고 손상을 유발할 수 있습니다. <h3>2. 노화 및 퇴행성 변화</h3> 나이가 들면서 디스크의 수분 함량이 줄어들고 탄력성을 잃게 되어 퇴행성 변화가 진행됩니다. 이로 인해 디스크가 약해지고 손상되기 쉬워집니다. <h3>3. 외상 및 과도한 부하</h3> 사고나 낙상과 같은 외부 충격, 갑작스러운 무거운 물건 들기, 과도한 운동 등은 디스크에 갑작스러운 압력을 가해 손상을 일으킬 수 있습니다. <h3>4. 유전적 요인</h3> 일부 연구에서는 허리디스크 발생에 유전적 요인이 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 보고하고 있습니다. <h2>허리디스크의 주요 증상</h2> 허리디스크의 증상은 디스크가 압박하는 신경의 위치와 정도에 따라 다양하게 나타납니다. <h3>1. 허리 통증</h3> 가장 흔한 증상으로, 허리 부위의 둔한 통증부터 날카롭고 찌르는 듯한 통증까지 다양하게 나타날 수 있습니다. 활동 시 통증이 심해지고 휴식 시 완화되는 경향이 있습니다. <h3>2. 방사통</h3> 디스크가 좌골신경을 압박할 경우, 허리 통증과 함께 엉덩이, 허벅지, 종아리, 발끝까지 저리고 당기는 듯한 통증이 나타날 수 있습니다. 이를 좌골신경통이라고 합니다. <h3>3. 저림 및 감각 이상</h3> 신경 압박으로 인해 해당 부위의 감각이 둔해지거나 저린 느낌, 무감각 등이 나타날 수 있습니다. <h3>4. 근력 약화</h3> 심한 경우 신경 손상으로 인해 다리 근육의 힘이 약해지거나 마비되는 증상이 나타날 수 있습니다. <h3>5. 보행 장애</h3> 통증, 근력 약화, 감각 이상 등이 복합적으로 작용하여 걷는 데 어려움을 겪을 수 있습니다. <h2>한의학적 허리디스크 치료</h2> 백록담한의원에서는 허리디스크를 근본적으로 치료하기 위해 다양한 한의학적 방법을 활용합니다. <h3>1. 침 치료</h3> 경직된 근육을 이완시키고 혈액순환을 개선하여 통증을 완화하고 염증을 줄이는 데 효과적입니다. <h3>2. 약침 치료</h3> 한약재의 유효 성분을 정제하여 경혈에 직접 주입하는 치료법입니다. 통증 부위의 염증을 빠르게 줄이고 손상된 조직의 재생을 돕습니다. <h3>3. 한약 치료</h3> 개인의 체질과 증상에 맞춰 처방된 한약은 디스크 주변의 염증을 억제하고, 손상된 인대와 근육을 강화하여 재발을 방지하는 데 도움을 줍니다. <h3>4. 추나 요법</h3> 한의사가 손이나 신체 일부를 이용하여 비뚤어진 척추와 골반을 바르게 교정하고, 경직된 근육을 이완시켜 신경 압박을 해소하는 치료법입니다. <h3>5. 물리 치료 및 생활 습관 교정</h3> 온열 찜질, 저주파 치료 등 물리 치료와 함께 올바른 자세 유지, 꾸준한 스트레칭과 운동, 체중 관리 등 생활 습관 교정을 통해 증상 완화 및 재발 방지를 돕습니다. 허리디스크는 조기에 진단하고 적절한 치료를 받는 것이 중요합니다. 만약 허리 통증이나 다리 저림 등의 증상이 지속된다면 백록담한의원에 내원하여 정확한 진단과 치료를 받아보시길 권해드립니다.

For example, the incorrect belief that <b>varicose veins always require surgery</b>. However, did you know that when <b>early symptoms</b> are present, they can improve significantly through <b>lifestyle modifications</b> and <b>conservative treatment</b>? <b>Varicose veins</b> are a condition where the <b>valves</b> that prevent blood from flowing backward in the veins malfunction, leading to poor blood circulation and the pooling of blood that should return to the heart. The <b>veins</b> in the legs stretch and bulge unevenly through the skin. It frequently occurs in those with a family history, those who stand for long periods for work, or sit for long periods. It also commonly appears in obese individuals and women. The <b>early symptoms of varicose veins</b> are as follows: <ul> <li>A feeling of swollen legs</li> <li>A feeling of heavy and tired legs</li> <li>A feeling of tingling and muscle cramps in the legs</li> <li>A feeling of warmth in the legs</li> <li>Itching</li> <li>A feeling like the calves are about to burst</li> </ul> These symptoms appear temporarily and often disappear naturally in the <b>early stages</b>. However, the frequency of these symptoms appearing gradually increases, and they can even lead to restless sleep at night. If it becomes more severe, there are cases where individuals wake up from sleep at night due to <b>muscle cramps</b>. Today, we discussed the <b>early symptoms of varicose veins</b> and <b>methods for improvement</b>. Next time, we will delve deeper into the <b>conservative treatment of varicose veins</b>.

Hello. This is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Although the weather is a bit cloudy today, we hope you had a clear and refreshing day in spirit. Today, the topic we'll be covering at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic is none other than <b><u>Postherpetic Neuralgia</u></b>. <b><u>Postherpetic neuralgia</u></b> is a <b><u>complication</u></b> that occurs after the development of <b><u>shingles</u></b> (herpes zoster), which is caused by the <b><u>varicella-zoster virus</u></b> lying dormant in our body's <b><u>ganglia</u></b> and reactivating when immunity is weakened, leading to inflammation and pain along the nerves in the skin. It refers to cases where pain persists or worsens even after shingles has fully healed, and it commonly appears in the elderly or individuals with weakened immunity. The main symptoms of <b><u>postherpetic neuralgia</u></b> are diverse, including <b><u>severe pain, itching, stinging sensations, and numbness</u></b>. Specifically, the pain is very distinctive, often described as sharp, stabbing pain like being pricked by a knife, or a burning sensation as if on fire, causing significant discomfort in daily life.

Stress-Induced Stomach Cramps: The Real Reason Your Stomach Clenches | Incheon Stress-Induced Stomach Cramps
Hello. This is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, we're going to talk about <strong>sciatica</strong>, a condition that causes severe pain. It's called sciatica because the pain occurs along the path of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in our body, originating from the spinal cord in the lumbar region and extending down through the buttocks, thighs, and calves, all the way to the toes. If this sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated for various reasons, it can cause pain along its path, which is called <strong>sciatica</strong>. <br> <h3><u>Causes of Sciatica</u></h3> <br> <p> The most common cause of sciatica is a <strong>lumbar disc herniation (herniated disc)</strong>. When a lumbar disc herniates and compresses the sciatic nerve, it can cause pain. <br><br> Other causes include <strong>spinal stenosis</strong>, <strong>spondylolisthesis</strong>, and <strong>Piriformis syndrome</strong>. Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle, located deep in the buttocks, becomes stiff and compresses the sciatic nerve that passes beneath it, leading to pain. </p> <br> <h3><u>Symptoms of Sciatica</u></h3> <br> <p> Sciatica primarily causes pain, numbness, and tingling along the sciatic nerve path. Common symptoms include: <br> <ul> <li>Pain and numbness in the lower back, buttocks, thighs, calves, and feet.</li> <li>Pain worsens when sitting or standing for a long time.</li> <li>Difficulty walking or even experiencing muscle weakness in severe cases.</li> </ul> <br> Since these symptoms can be similar to other spinal conditions, it's important to receive an accurate diagnosis. </p> <br> <h3><u>Korean Medicine Treatment for Sciatica</u></h3> <br> <p> At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we utilize a combination of various Korean medicine treatments for sciatica. </p> <br> <ul> <li><strong>Acupuncture and Moxibustion:</strong> Helps relieve pain by improving blood circulation and reducing inflammation around the sciatic nerve.</li> <li><strong>Cupping Therapy:</strong> Helps relax muscles and improve circulation in the affected area.</li> <li><strong>Herbal Medicine:</strong> Addresses the root cause of sciatica by strengthening bones and muscles, reducing inflammation, and promoting nerve regeneration.</li> <li><strong>Choona Manual Therapy:</strong> Corrects misaligned spine and pelvis to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve.</li> </ul> <br> <p> If you are experiencing pain due to sciatica, don't hesitate to visit Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic for a consultation. Our experienced Korean medicine doctor will diagnose your condition accurately and provide personalized treatment. </p> <br> <p> <a href="https://blog.naver.com/baekrokdam9/223403310069" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">For more information on Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic's treatment for sciatica, click here!</a> </p> <br> <p> <strong>Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic</strong> </p> <p> <strong>Inquiries: <a href="tel:050713781075">0507-1378-1075</a></strong> </p> <br> <p> <strong>Clinic Hours</strong> </p> <p> <strong>Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri:</strong> 9:30 AM – 6:30 PM (Lunch Break: 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM) </p> <p> <strong>Wednesday:</strong> Closed </p> <p> <strong>Saturday:</strong> 9:30 AM – 3:00 PM (No Lunch Break) </p> <p> <strong>Sunday, Public Holidays:</strong> Closed </p> <br> <p> #Sciatica #SciaticaSymptoms #SciaticaTreatment #KoreanMedicineSciatica #BaekrokdamKoreanMedicineClinic </p>
Psychogenic Abdominal Pain, Functional Abdominal Pain Syndrome? | Incheon Psychogenic Abdominal Pain
Hello. This is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Our clinic is a <strong>specialized Korean medicine clinic for thyroid disorders</strong>, primarily treating conditions such as <strong>hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroiditis, and thyroid nodules</strong>. Today, we will learn about <strong>stress</strong>, one of the <strong>causes of thyroid disorders</strong>. While stress is a cause of various physical ailments, it is particularly detrimental to <strong>thyroid disorders</strong>. Notably, <strong>thyroid disorders</strong> tend to occur more frequently in <strong>women</strong>. It is difficult to avoid <strong>stress</strong> arising from social and home life, including work, childcare, and household chores. This <strong>stress</strong> directly affects the secretion of <strong>thyroid hormones</strong> and can be a cause of worsening or triggering <strong>thyroid disorders</strong>. <strong>Hyperthyroidism</strong> is a condition where <strong>thyroid hormones</strong> are excessively secreted. This accelerates the body's metabolism, causing symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, weight loss, anxiety, and restlessness. <strong>Hypothyroidism</strong> is a condition where <strong>thyroid hormones</strong> are insufficiently secreted. This slows down the body's metabolism, causing symptoms such as fatigue, lethargy, weight gain, edema, and constipation. <strong>Thyroid disorders</strong> are a type of autoimmune disease, with an imbalance in the immune system being the main cause. <strong>Stress</strong> can weaken the immune system and trigger inflammatory responses, thereby worsening <strong>thyroid disorders</strong>. Therefore, <strong>stress management</strong> is crucial to prevent and treat <strong>thyroid disorders</strong>. There are various ways to manage stress. Regular exercise, sufficient sleep, a healthy diet, meditation, and hobby activities can help reduce <strong>stress</strong> and strengthen the immune system. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we offer various programs for <strong>stress management</strong> alongside <strong>treatment for thyroid disorders</strong>. Through acupuncture treatment, herbal medicine treatment, moxibustion treatment, and cupping treatment, we regulate <strong>thyroid function</strong>, strengthen the immune system, and alleviate <strong>stress</strong>. Furthermore, we are committed to helping patients suffering from <strong>thyroid disorders</strong> regain a healthy and happy life. If you are struggling with <strong>thyroid disorders</strong>, please visit our Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic for a consultation. Thank you.
