Postherpetic Neuralgia: When Recovery Is Slow

Hello, this is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, we'd like to talk about frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder, one of the most common shoulder conditions, refers to a disorder where shoulder joint movement becomes stiff and painful. The accurate medical terms are adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder. Although "Oshipgyeon" (literally "fifty-shoulder") was named because it primarily occurs after the age of 50, it has recently become common among younger individuals in their 30s and 40s. Furthermore, it doesn't only affect one shoulder; it often occurs simultaneously in both shoulders, or affects the other shoulder after an initial occurrence in one. The main symptoms of frozen shoulder are shoulder pain accompanied by restricted movement. Severe pain is particularly felt during movements such as raising the arm upwards, reaching behind the back, or rotating the arm. The pain often worsens at night, leading to disturbed sleep. While frozen shoulder can sometimes heal naturally, if left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain and permanent restriction of shoulder joint movement, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we offer various traditional Korean medicine treatments for frozen shoulder, including acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and herbal medicine. Acupuncture therapy stimulates acupoints around the shoulder, helping to improve Qi and blood circulation and alleviate pain. Moxibustion therapy utilizes warmth to relax muscles around the shoulder and promote blood circulation, thereby reducing pain. Cupping therapy applies negative pressure to the skin, helping to relax tight muscles around the shoulder and aid in the removal of metabolic waste. Herbal medicine treatment identifies the underlying cause of frozen shoulder, rebalances the body, reduces inflammation in the shoulder joint, and promotes recovery. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic provides personalized treatment tailored to each patient's symptoms and body constitution. If you are suffering from frozen shoulder, please do not hesitate to visit Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic for a consultation. We will do our utmost to help you regain healthy shoulders. Thank you.

Occipital Neuralgia: If Pain Relievers and Nerve Blocks Don't Work

Hello, this is Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, we will explore methods for relieving severe menstrual cramps. Menstrual cramps are a common symptom experienced by approximately 50% of women, and they can be accompanied by various symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, lower back pain, headaches, and nausea. The causes of menstrual cramps can be broadly divided into two types: Primary Dysmenorrhea This refers to menstrual pain that occurs without any specific underlying disease in the uterus or pelvis. It is caused by the excessive secretion of a substance called prostaglandin, which contracts the uterine muscles and thereby induces pain. Secondary Dysmenorrhea This is menstrual pain caused by specific underlying conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, or uterine fibroids. Compared to primary dysmenorrhea, the pain tends to be more severe and last longer. Menstrual Cramp Relief Methods Since menstrual cramps are often severe enough to disrupt daily life, it's important to find appropriate relief methods. 1. Warm Compress Applying a warm water bottle or hot pack to the lower abdomen promotes blood circulation and relaxes muscles, which helps alleviate pain. 2. Light Exercise Light exercises such as yoga or stretching help improve blood circulation and promote endorphin secretion, thereby reducing pain. However, intense exercise can worsen the pain, so it's best to avoid it. 3. Balanced Diet Consuming foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (e.g., fatty fish, nuts) and Vitamins B1, B6, and E can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Caffeine and alcohol can worsen the pain, so it's advisable to reduce their consumption. 4. Adequate Rest During your period, it's important to get enough rest to avoid straining your body. Since stress can be a factor that worsens menstrual cramps, it's also good to manage stress through meditation or deep breathing exercises. 5. Traditional Korean Medicine Treatment If menstrual cramps are severe or become chronic, you may consider Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) treatment. Treatments such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine can improve blood circulation in the uterus and pelvis and remove stagnant blood, thereby helping to fundamentally treat menstrual cramps. Menstrual cramps are a common symptom, but their causes and symptoms can vary. It's important to manage symptoms through the relief methods introduced above, and seek professional help if necessary. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic anytime! Thank you.

Generalized Urticaria: A Case in Early 50s Menopause

Welcome to Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, we'll explore the early symptoms and treatment of plantar fasciitis. If you're experiencing pain in the sole of your foot, you might consider plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that covers the muscles in the sole of the foot. According to statistical data from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service, the number of plantar fasciitis patients in 2021 reportedly exceeded a staggering 270,000. Statistical Data from Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (Source: National Health Insurance Service) The number of patients receiving medical treatment for plantar fasciitis in Korea has been steadily increasing. This suggests that many people are suffering from plantar fasciitis. The primary symptom of plantar fasciitis is heel pain, but in its early stages, it often goes untreated because it begins with mild discomfort. However, if neglected, it can lead to chronic pain, so it's crucial to proactively seek treatment when early symptoms appear. In this post, we'll delve into the early symptoms of plantar fasciitis, and also introduce Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic's treatment methods for the condition.

Restless Legs Syndrome, Uncomfortable Leg Sensations

Hello. This is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Before we knew it, it's already winter, with cold air filling the air. Today, at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we'd like to tell you about the importance of winter immunity management and Korean herbal medicine good for immunity. During winter, as temperatures drop and the air becomes dry, our body's immune system easily weakens. When immunity weakens, it not only increases the risk of exposure to respiratory illnesses like colds and flu but also to various other diseases. In particular, this year, a 'twindemic' of flu and COVID-19 simultaneously circulating is anticipated, making even more thorough immunity management necessary. Immunity management goes beyond simply preventing diseases; it is an essential factor for spending a healthy winter.

Cholinergic Urticaria, Constitutional Improvement Needed

Hello. This is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today's post is about ``plantar fasciitis`` treatment. If you suddenly experience pain in the sole of your foot, especially if it's severe ``when taking your first steps in the morning``, you might suspect plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is a condition where inflammation occurs in the plantar fascia, which surrounds the muscles of the sole of the foot, causing pain. When the sole of the foot is subjected to repetitive pressure or stress, micro-tears occur in the plantar fascia, and if these tears do not heal and persist, they cause inflammation. ``Key causes`` include ``excessive exercise, occupations requiring prolonged standing, poor gait habits, obesity, flat feet, and wearing high heels``. If plantar fasciitis is left untreated, it can lead to chronic pain or cause other foot conditions, so early diagnosis and treatment are important. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we provide treatments for plantar fasciitis such as ``acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medicine, cupping therapy, and moxibustion``. We establish personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's symptoms and causes to reduce pain and prevent recurrence. If you are suffering from plantar fasciitis, please visit Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic for a consultation.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Persistent Urinary Problems Even After Prostatic Urethral Lift

안녕하세요. 백록담한의원 입니다. Many people who visit our Korean Medicine Clinic have no abnormal findings on their health check-ups, but often come due to unknown discomforts or illnesses. For example, they might frequently feel dizzy and have a dull headache, even though brain MRI or MRA show no abnormalities, or frequently experience heartburn and indigestion, while endoscopy reveals no inflammation and looks clean. There are many such illnesses whose causes cannot be identified by modern medical tests. Many people who visit our clinic also often come due to these various symptoms. However, from a Korean medicine perspective, even these illnesses have their own distinct causes. These are precisely what we call functional disorders. Functional disorders are conditions where, despite blood tests, MRI, endoscopy, etc., showing no measurable problems, the body's functions have declined, leading to illness. Because there are no problems in terms of measurable data, modern medical treatments are often difficult or unsatisfactory. However, in Korean medicine, by analyzing the causes and progression of functional disorders, we help normalize bodily functions and treat the illness through appropriate therapies such as acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and herbal medicine. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, in this way, we treat various functional disorders with unknown causes from a Korean medicine perspective, helping patients regain their health. We listen attentively to the symptoms of all patients who visit us and will treat them with utmost sincerity.
