Chronic Headache / Migraine
Painkillers don't work,
and the pain feels as if my eyes are popping out.
A throbbing head, a dizzy world.
Clear cerebral blood flow is the start of health.

Brain Fog
My head feels foggy, I can't concentrate,
and my memory isn't what it used to be.
Special Diagnosis System
Headaches, dizziness, and cerebral blood flow are the key.
Headaches and dizziness are distress signals sent by the brain. Even if an MRI shows no abnormalities, symptoms will persist if the blood supply to the brain is not smooth.
The brain suffers when heat rises upward due to stress (upper-body heat), when waste products from gastrointestinal disorders (phlegm-fluid) block blood vessels, or when misalignment of the cervical spine obstructs blood flow.
At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we use pulse diagnosis and abdominal diagnosis to identify excess heat in the upper body and coldness in the lower abdomen, and precisely diagnose blood turbidity (blood stasis) and circulation disorders.
Creating an internal environment where the brain can become clear is the beginning of treating chronic headaches and dizziness.

Medical Staff
Chief Director Dr. Yeonseung Choe
I have met many patients who came after visiting multiple medical institutions and departments for persistent or recurrent conditions. Symptoms normally handled by different specialties—such as abdominal pain, headaches, palpitations, dizziness, and insomnia—may overlap in one person. Sometimes there is no clear improvement despite taking medication for each symptom, and being unwell gradually becomes part of daily life. In these cases, I look beyond individual diagnoses and examine how the symptoms connect and change together.
Asking only about the most uncomfortable symptom today does not reveal the full course. I look at when the body first began to change and what happened after illness, surgery, childbirth, or starting and stopping medication. I also review changes in weight, diet, and sleep, then trace which symptoms improved with previous treatment and which remained.
Test results, diagnoses, and the course of previous treatment are important for understanding the current condition. Clinical research in modern Korean medicine, physiological and pathological research in modern medicine, and observations recorded in classical Korean medicine texts offer different perspectives on the same body. Rather than fitting a patient into one perspective, I consider what each can and cannot explain and look for clues that connect symptoms and treatment histories that were previously considered separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. My MRI results are normal, so why am I still in pain?
A. It is a functional issue. Problems such as poor blood circulation, phlegm (waste products), and stress-induced heat do not show up on an MRI, but they can be treated through Korean medicine.
Q. I have been taking painkillers for a long time; is that okay?
A. Long-term use can cause gastrointestinal disorders and medication-overuse headaches. It is recommended to gradually reduce the use of painkillers through Korean medical treatment.
Q. Can I be treated with Korean herbal medicine alone?
A. Yes, chronic headaches and dizziness are often caused by imbalances in the internal organs, making Korean herbal medicine treatment very effective.
