I'm Starting to Dread the Night | Incheon Insomnia

Hello, this is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. One of the most frequent inquiries we receive from patients visiting our clinic is regarding "deer antler." Today, let's learn more about deer antler in detail. "What is deer antler?" Deer antler refers to the antlers of a male deer. Deer repeatedly grow and shed their antlers. The newly grown antlers are harvested and used while they are still in a soft state before completely hardening. It is primarily used for medicinal purposes and refers to the soft, velvety antlers that have not yet ossified. "What are the benefits of deer antler?" Deer antler has been used as a precious medicinal ingredient since ancient times. According to the Donguibogam, deer antler is recorded to have the effects of tonifying the five viscera and six bowels, promoting blood circulation, and enhancing virility. In modern medicine, deer antler is also known to have various benefits such as strengthening immunity, recovering from fatigue, promoting growth and development, and improving memory. What kind of deer antler does Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic use? At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we insist on using only Russian Abaissk deer antler. The Abaissk region of Russia is known for its cold and rugged environment, where deer grow large and robust antlers with excellent medicinal efficacy. Furthermore, our clinic exclusively uses Abaissk deer antler that has received official import authorization from the Russian government. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, prioritizing our patients' health above all else! If you have any questions about deer antler, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Epigastric Tenderness Upon Palpation: Epigastric Glomus Syndrome

Hello, I am Korean medical doctor Choi Yeon-seung from Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, I'd like to talk about vitreous floaters. Have you ever experienced something like dust floating in front of your eyes? Floaters can manifest in various forms, such as sudden black spots, thread-like shapes, or transparent cobwebs appearing in your field of vision. Vitreous floaters are a condition caused by the degeneration of the vitreous humor inside the eye. The vitreous humor in our eyes is a transparent, gel-like tissue that maintains the shape of the eyeball and allows light to pass through. However, due to various causes such as aging, inflammation, or hemorrhage, the vitreous humor liquefies or becomes turbid, causing these opaque substances to float within the eye, which is precisely what vitreous floaters are. While most floaters are a natural phenomenon associated with aging, they can also be an early symptom of serious ophthalmic diseases like retinal detachment or vitreous hemorrhage, so it is important to get an accurate diagnosis. Floaters often improve naturally without specific treatment, but if symptoms are severe or cause discomfort in daily life, active treatment can be considered. In Korean medicine, vitreous floaters are viewed as a disorder of qi and blood circulation within the eye and are treated accordingly. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and pharmacopuncture treatments, we promote qi and blood circulation around the eyes and inhibit the degeneration of the vitreous humor to improve vitreous floaters. In addition, we also provide guidance for lifestyle improvements to prevent recurrence and promote overall eye health. If you are experiencing discomfort due to vitreous floaters, do not hesitate to visit Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. We will do our best for your eye health.

Hello, this is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. This time, at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we will be discussing rotator cuff tear, one of the conditions that cause shoulder pain. <What is a Rotator Cuff Tear?> The rotator cuff consists of four tendons around the shoulder: namely the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor. Among the conditions that cause shoulder pain, rotator cuff tears are one of the most common. It is a condition where these four tendons rupture due to overuse of the shoulder, causing severe pain. A rotator cuff tear can manifest as a sensation that the shoulder is dislocating, difficulty lifting the arm, or a dull, throbbing pain in the shoulder. Additionally, if you hear a clicking sound in your shoulder or experience weakness in your arm, a rotator cuff tear may be suspected. <Causes of Rotator Cuff Tears> Rotator cuff tears can arise from various causes. They often occur naturally as tendons weaken with age, and can also result from overuse of the shoulder joint. Furthermore, they may develop from excessive sports activities or strong external impacts, such as those from a traffic accident. <Treatment Methods for Rotator Cuff Tears> At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we treat rotator cuff tears that cause shoulder pain using the following methods: - Acupuncture Treatment Acupuncture treatment helps to smooth the circulation of 'qi' and blood in the painful area, reduce inflammation and swelling, and alleviate pain. - Pharmacopuncture Treatment Pharmacopuncture treatment involves directly injecting a pharmacopuncture solution, made by purifying and extracting pure herbal medicine ingredients, into the painful area. It is an effective treatment for promoting the recovery of damaged tendons, reducing inflammation, and alleviating pain. - Bee Venom Therapy Bee venom therapy is a treatment that involves directly injecting refined bee venom into the painful area. It is an effective treatment for eliminating inflammation through its powerful anti-inflammatory action and rapidly relieving pain. - Cupping Therapy Cupping therapy helps to remove 'stagnant blood', improve blood circulation, and alleviate pain. - Physical Therapy Physical therapy helps to relax the muscles in the painful area, improve joint range of motion, and alleviate pain. - Herbal Medicine Prescription Herbal medicine prescriptions are tailored to an individual's constitution and symptoms, aiding in the recovery of damaged tendons, improving the circulation of 'qi' and blood around the shoulder, and helping to fundamentally treat shoulder pain. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we are committed to helping everyone suffering from shoulder pain regain a healthy and vibrant daily life. Thank you.

Middle Finger Pain: Causes and Treatment | Incheon Trigger Finger Tenosynovitis

안녕하세요 백록담한의원 한의사 최연승 입니다. 오늘은 뇌전증과 간질의 차이에 대해 설명드리려고 합니다. 우선, 이 두 용어를 같이 두고 많이 혼란스러워 하시는 분들이 많으실 것 같아요. 특히 간질이라는 단어는 과거에 많이 쓰였던 표현으로, 뇌전증보다 익숙한 분들도 계실겁니다. 하지만 의학적인 정의와 함께 두 단어의 차이점을 알면 앞으로 좀 더 정확하게 뇌전증이라는 단어를 사용하실 수 있을 거예요. 그럼, 뇌전증과 간질의 차이에 대해 좀 더 자세히 알아볼까요? <h3>1. 뇌전증과 간질, 무엇이 다를까?</h3> 결론부터 말씀드리자면, 두 단어는 같은 질환을 의미합니다. 다만, 간질이라는 용어는 과거의 표현이며, 지금은 뇌전증이라는 용어가 공식적으로 사용됩니다. 과거에는 간질이라는 용어가 질환에 대한 부정적인 사회적 편견과 낙인으로 이어지는 경우가 많았습니다. 이에 따라 세계보건기구(WHO)를 포함한 국제보건기구들은 뇌전증(Epilepsy)이라는 용어의 사용을 권장하고 있습니다. 뇌전증은 뇌의 비정상적인 전기적 활동으로 인해 발생하는 만성적인 신경학적 질환입니다. 뇌전증 환자는 반복적으로 경련이나 발작을 경험하며, 이는 뇌의 어느 부분에서 비정상적인 활동이 시작되는지에 따라 다양한 형태로 나타날 수 있습니다. 간질이라는 용어는 이제 의학계에서 거의 사용되지 않으며, 정확하고 현대적인 표현인 뇌전증(Epilepsy)으로 대체되었습니다. <h3>2. 뇌전증, 오해와 진실</h3> 뇌전증에 대한 오해와 진실을 풀어보는 시간을 가져보겠습니다. 간혹 뇌전증을 '정신 질환'으로 오해하는 분들이 계시는데, 이는 명백한 신경학적 질환입니다. 또한, 전염성이 없으며, 유전되는 경우도 매우 드뭅니다. 뇌전증 환자들은 적절한 치료와 관리를 통해 일상생활을 충분히 영위할 수 있습니다. 궁극적으로 뇌전증은 뇌의 기능 이상으로 발생하는 질환이며, 사회적 편견이나 낙인이 아닌 이해와 지원이 필요한 질환임을 강조하고 싶습니다. Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, a Korean Medicine doctor at Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, I'd like to explain the difference between epilepsy and 'ganjil'. First of all, I believe many people are quite confused by these two terms when used together. Especially, the word 'ganjil' was an expression widely used in the past, and some people might even be more familiar with it than with 'epilepsy'. However, if you understand the medical definitions and the difference between the two terms, you will be able to use the word 'epilepsy' more accurately in the future. So, shall we learn more about the difference between epilepsy and 'ganjil'? <h3>1. Epilepsy and 'Ganjil': What's the Difference?</h3> To get straight to the point, the two terms refer to the same condition. However, the term 'ganjil' is an older expression, and now the term 'epilepsy' is officially used. In the past, the term 'ganjil' often led to negative social prejudice and stigma associated with the condition. Accordingly, international health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), recommend the use of the term epilepsy. Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Patients with epilepsy repeatedly experience seizures or convulsions, which can manifest in various forms depending on which part of the brain the abnormal activity originates from. The term 'ganjil' is now rarely used in the medical community and has been replaced by the accurate and modern term epilepsy. <h3>2. Epilepsy: Misconceptions and Truths</h3> Let's take some time to clarify the misconceptions and truths about epilepsy. Occasionally, some people misunderstand epilepsy as a 'mental illness', but it is a clear neurological disorder. Also, it is not contagious, and it is very rarely hereditary. Patients with epilepsy can fully lead normal daily lives through appropriate treatment and management. Ultimately, I want to emphasize that epilepsy is a condition caused by brain dysfunction, and it requires understanding and support, not social prejudice or stigma.

Without Warning, the Fear of Death Overwhelms Me | Songdo Panic Disorder

안녕하세요 백록담한의원입니다. 오늘은 #자궁선근증 #백록담한의원 치료 증례를 소개해 드리겠습니다. [30s] A Case of Improved Bleeding/Pain Due to Adenomyosis After Herbal Medicine Treatment First visit: July 2023 The patient had irregular bleeding since around 2021 and severe menstrual pain, and was diagnosed with adenomyosis after an examination at an obstetrics and gynecology clinic. During menstruation, there was severe pelvic pain and heavy menstrual flow, and her hemoglobin level had dropped to 8, so she was taking iron supplements. The previously prescribed birth control pills did not effectively control the bleeding and pain, so she visited our clinic. At our clinic, we began adenomyosis herbal medicine treatment to improve her symptoms. <After 3 Months of Adenomyosis Herbal Medicine Treatment> Menstrual pain significantly decreased, the frequency of taking painkillers markedly reduced, and the clotted blood during menstruation also significantly decreased. Menstrual flow also significantly decreased, and her hemoglobin level recovered to 10, so she discontinued iron supplements. Although irregular bleeding was still present, bleeding only occurred during menstruation, indicating significant symptom improvement. Thereafter, we decided to continue herbal medicine treatment and monitor her condition.

Why the Sudden Cold Sweat and Dizziness?

안녕하세요. 백록담한의원 최연승 한의사입니다. 오늘은 저희 한의원에서 진행하고 있는 체외충격파 치료에 대해 말씀드리고자 합니다. <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.naver.com/dr_choiys/223405799984" class="se-link-box-wrap __se_link_layout_img_left"> <div class="se-link-box"> <div class="se-link-img-wrap"> <img src="https://dthumb-phinf.pstatic.net/?src=%22https%3A%2F%2Fblogfiles.naver.net%2FMjAyNDA0MDJfMTcx%2FMjAyNDA0MDJfMjU1%2FMjUyNTk2NDYzNzAxXzE2MDY3NDIwNjk4MDQxLmpwZ3wzNUo3d2d5R1R6UW9DVkx5Nmhndk8yU1Q2eE1wR3p6Smh5T1h6c3Q2MXcwLmFwZz90eXBlPXNlNjgzXzk2&type=ff500_300" class="se-link-img" alt=""> </div> <div class="se-link-text-wrap"> 체외충격파 치료를 받아야하는 질환들 안녕하세요. 백록담한의원 최연승 한의사입니다. 최근 저희 한의원에 체외충격파 치료를 받기 위해 ... blog.naver.com </div> </div> </a> 저번 포스팅에서 체외충격파 치료가 효과적인 질환들에 대해 말씀드렸습니다. 이번 포스팅에서는 체외충격파 치료가 무엇인지, 그 치료 원리는 어떻게 되는지 자세히 알아보겠습니다. 체외충격파 치료는 체외에서 충격파를 발생시켜 통증 부위에 전달하여 치료하는 비침습적 치료법입니다. 신체의 외부에서 충격파를 발생시킨다고 해서 "체외충격파"라고 부릅니다. 체외충격파 치료에 사용되는 충격파는 공기압을 이용하는 방사형 체외충격파(Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, RSWT)와 전기-자기장을 이용하는 집중형 체외충격파(Focused Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy, FSWT) 두 가지가 있습니다. 어려운 용어들이 많죠? 하지만 걱정하지 마세요. 핵심만 쏙쏙 뽑아 쉽고 재미있게 설명해 드리겠습니다. 먼저, 체외충격파 치료의 역사를 간단히 살펴보겠습니다. 체외충격파 치료는 1980년대 초반 비뇨기과에서 신장 결석을 파쇄하는 데 처음 사용되었습니다. 이후 정형외과, 재활의학과 등 다양한 분야에서 통증 치료 및 조직 재생에 활용되면서 그 효과가 입증되었습니다. 특히, 만성 통증 치료에 뛰어난 효과를 보여 많은 환자들에게 희망을 주고 있습니다. 저희 백록담한의원에서는 이러한 체외충격파 치료를 환자분들의 증상과 체질에 맞춰 적용하고 있습니다. 자 이제 체외충격파 치료의 원리를 자세히 살펴보겠습니다. 체외충격파는 크게 세 가지 방식으로 작용합니다. 첫째, 통증 감소 효과입니다. 충격파가 통증 부위에 전달되면, 신경 말단을 자극하여 통증 전달 물질의 분비를 억제하고, 통증 역치를 높여 통증을 감소시킵니다. 또한, 혈액 순환을 개선하여 염증 물질을 제거하고, 부종을 완화하는 데 도움을 줍니다. 둘째, 조직 재생 효과입니다. 충격파는 손상된 조직에 미세한 자극을 주어 혈관 신생을 촉진하고, 성장 인자의 분비를 증가시켜 조직 재생을 돕습니다. 이를 통해 힘줄, 인대, 근육 등 손상된 조직의 회복을 가속화할 수 있습니다. 셋째, 석회 침착물 제거 효과입니다. 만성 통증 환자 중 일부는 힘줄이나 인대에 석회 침착물이 쌓여 통증을 유발하는 경우가 있습니다. 체외충격파는 이러한 석회 침착물을 잘게 부수어 몸 밖으로 배출되도록 돕습니다. 이로 인해 통증이 경감되고, 관절의 움직임이 부드러워질 수 있습니다. 정말 신기하죠? 백록담한의원에서는 체외충격파 치료의 이러한 장점들을 활용하여 환자분들의 통증을 효과적으로 치료하고 있습니다. 환자분들의 증상과 체질, 통증 부위와 정도 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 맞춤형 치료를 제공합니다. 저희 한의원의 체외충격파 치료는 비수술적이고 비침습적인 방법으로 부작용이 거의 없으며, 짧은 시간 안에 통증 개선 효과를 기대할 수 있습니다. 또한, 시술 후 바로 일상생활이 가능하여 바쁜 현대인들에게도 적합한 치료법입니다. 백록담한의원의 체외충격파 치료를 통해 만성 통증에서 벗어나 건강하고 활기찬 일상을 되찾으시길 바랍니다. 궁금한 점이 있으시면 언제든지 문의해주세요. 감사합니다. Hello. This is Choi Yeon-seung, Doctor of Korean Medicine at Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic.

This is Choi Yeon-seung, Doctor of Korean Medicine at Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Recently, to receive Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy at our clinic... blog.naver.com </div> </div> </a> In my previous post, I discussed conditions for which Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is effective. In this post, we'll delve deeper into what Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is and how its treatment principles work. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive treatment method that generates shockwaves externally and delivers them to the painful area for treatment. It's called "Extracorporeal Shockwave" because the shockwaves are generated outside the body. There are two types of shockwaves used in Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy: Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (RSWT), which uses air pressure, and Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (FSWT), which uses an electro-magnetic field. Many difficult terms, aren't there? But don't worry. I'll extract the core information and explain it in an easy-to-understand and engaging way. First, let's briefly look at the history of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy was first used in urology in the early 1980s to break up kidney stones. Since then, its effectiveness has been proven as it's been utilized in various fields such as orthopedics and rehabilitation medicine for pain treatment and tissue regeneration. In particular, it has shown excellent results in treating chronic pain, offering hope to many patients. At Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we apply this Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy tailored to each patient's symptoms and body constitution. Now, let's take a detailed look at the principles of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy works in three main ways. First, pain reduction. When shockwaves are delivered to the painful area, they stimulate nerve endings, inhibiting the secretion of pain-transmitting substances and raising the pain threshold, thereby reducing pain. Furthermore, it helps improve blood circulation, remove inflammatory substances, and alleviate edema. Second, tissue regeneration. Shockwaves provide micro-stimuli to damaged tissues, promoting angiogenesis and increasing the secretion of growth factors, thereby aiding tissue regeneration. This can accelerate the recovery of damaged tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Third, the effect of removing calcium deposits. Some patients with chronic pain experience pain due to calcium deposits accumulating in their tendons or ligaments.

The Unstoppable Alarm Ringing in My Head | Incheon OCD

Hello, this is Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, we will learn about Oshipgyeon. Oshipgyeon is one of the representative conditions accompanied by shoulder pain and restricted movement. Oshipgyeon is also known as Adhesive capsulitis or Frozen Shoulder. It is called Oshipgyeon (derived from "fifty") because it mainly occurs frequently in people in their 50s, but it can also affect younger age groups. Oshipgyeon is a condition where inflammation and thickening of the joint capsule surrounding the shoulder joint occur, leading to pain and restricted movement. It typically starts with mild shoulder pain in the early stages, and as time passes, the pain gradually worsens, leading to restricted shoulder movement. Particularly, pain often worsens at night, and patients experience difficulty with actions such as lifting the arm overhead or rotating it behind the back. In severe cases, it can cause significant inconvenience in daily life.
