Pediatric Growth Clinic
Are you worried that your child is smaller than their peers?
Growth is all about timing.
It is important to identify and resolve hindering factors.
📈
Precocious Puberty
Secondary sex characteristics are appearing too early,
leading to concerns that growth plates may close prematurely.
🛡️
Frequent Colds and Rhinitis
Due to weak immunity,
the child suffers from constant minor illnesses.
🧠
Tics · ADHD
School life is difficult due to distractibility or repetitive behaviors.
Special Diagnosis System
Removing growth inhibitors must come first.
A child's growth is not just about bones getting longer. They can only grow taller when they eat well, sleep well, and stay healthy.
Most children who struggle to grow have a reason.
In many cases, rhinitis prevents deep sleep, a weak digestive system hinders nutrient absorption, or frequent colds cause energy meant for growth to be spent on immune recovery.
At Baekrokdam Clinic, we precisely check the status of growth plates through referrals to partner radiology departments and identify the fundamental inhibitors blocking the child's growth through our own constitution analysis.
True growth treatment is not simply about medicine to increase height, but about cultivating the strength for a child to grow healthily on their own.

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.
