Precautions When Treating Indigestion
<h3>Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, the head director of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic.</h3> <p>Before I knew it, this is already my sixth post specifically about scoliosis.</p> <p>As I write posts about scoliosis, I often recall my school days.</p> <p>Personally, since scoliosis is a condition often discovered during adolescence, among my friends and younger siblings during my school days, there were some who suffered from scoliosis.</p> <p>Because of these experiences, I believe I understand and empathize with the struggles of those suffering from scoliosis more than anyone else.</p> <p>Today, let's explore the advantages of Korean medicine treatment for scoliosis, as well as the criteria for surgical treatment.</p> <a href="https://blog.naver.com/belllrock/223293023249"> <strong>If you want to learn about scoliosis symptoms and self-diagnosis methods, click here.</strong> </a> <h3>Scoliosis: Treatment Criteria According to Cobb Angle (Scoliosis Angle)</h3> <p>For scoliosis, treatment criteria vary depending on the Cobb angle (scoliosis angle).</p> <p>Furthermore, in the case of adolescents (during their growth period), because their growth plates are open, their skeletal maturity, specifically the Risser stage, must also be considered.</p> <p>So, let's examine the treatment criteria based on the Cobb angle.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Cobb Angle Less Than 10 Degrees (Low Risk):</strong> Conservative treatments such as bracing, physical therapy, exercise therapy, or manual therapy are not required. It is important to monitor changes in the scoliosis angle through regular follow-ups.</li> <li><strong>Cobb Angle 10 Degrees or More and Less Than 20 Degrees (Mild Scoliosis):</strong> From this point, conservative treatment can be considered. Exercise therapy, manual therapy, manipulative therapy, and corrective treatments that strengthen the muscles around the spine and correct posture are effective. Among Korean medicine treatments, herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping, and Chuna therapy can be used.</li> <li><strong>Cobb Angle 20 Degrees or More and Less Than 40 Degrees (Moderate Scoliosis):</strong> Combining bracing and Korean medicine treatment is effective.</li> <li><strong>Cobb Angle 40 Degrees or More (Severe Scoliosis):</strong> This is the stage where surgical treatment should be considered. However, even after surgery, there is a possibility of recurrence and the development of scoliosis in other areas, so consistent management with Korean medicine treatment and lifestyle correction is important.</li> </ul>

Precautions During Treatment for Indigestion and Damjeok Disease
Hello, I'm Choi Yeon-seung, the Chief Director of Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic <br> specializes in the treatment of <b>infertility, women's health conditions, menopausal symptoms, and thyroid disorders</b>. When you're deliberating which clinic to visit, <br> or when you haven't received a clear answer anywhere else, <br> we hope you'll think of Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. We will do our utmost <br> for Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic <br> to be the answer you're looking for. So, in today's post, <br> I'd like to share the latest insights into Korean medicine infertility treatment. Specifically: <br><b><span style="color:#000000">Infertility is a ‘disease.’</span></b> Hmm, upon hearing this, <br> you might be thinking, ‘Why are they making such a big deal out of something so obvious?’ However, the truth is, <br> many people tend not to view infertility as a disease, <br> but rather believe it will resolve with time <br> or consider it a problem stemming from <b><span style="color:#000000">a mere lack of ‘effort’ on the part of the couple</span></b>. What's more, <br> it's not uncommon for even medical institutions to explain <b><span style="color:#000000">infertility as something natural <br> or a problem arising from a lack of effort</span></b>. However, <br> according to the latest medical insights, <br><b><span style="color:#000000">infertility is a disease</span></b>. <br> It is a condition with clear diagnostic criteria <br> and identifiable causes, <br> and it can be overcome through appropriate treatment. Therefore, <br> if you are experiencing infertility, <br><b><span style="color:#000000">you must receive appropriate treatment</span></b>. Based on the understanding that <b><span style="color:#000000">infertility is a disease</span></b>, <br> Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic <br> operates <b>a Korean medicine infertility treatment program <br> for couples experiencing infertility</b>. The program's goal is <br> to identify the causes of infertility, <br> provide customized treatment based on those causes, <br> and ultimately assist in achieving a healthy pregnancy. Specifically, <br> we support couples experiencing infertility in achieving a healthy pregnancy <br> through <b><span style="color:#000000">Korean herbal medicine that strengthens uterine and ovarian function</span></b>, <br> normalizes <b><span style="color:#000000">ovulation</span></b>, <br> and enhances <b><span style="color:#000000">implantation rates</span></b>, <br> combined with <b><span style="color:#000000">acupuncture and moxibustion therapy</span></b>. We hope you can prepare for a healthy pregnancy <br> and welcome your new family <br> with Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Thank you.
