Knee Pain
From 90,000 KRW/ procedure
After assessing the patient’s condition through pulse diagnosis, acupuncture is administered, followed by moxibustion and heat therapy. The clinic director personally performs all steps, from consultation to treatment.
Procedure Overview
From examination to treatment, performed by the director personally.
In Korea, the doctor performs the examination, the diagnosis and the treatment personally — none of it is handed off.
【What happens】
1. Pulse diagnosis (10 min) — the director reads your pulse by hand, then maps it organ by organ on the analyser. This is what decides where the needles go.
2. Acupuncture (20 min) — needles placed according to your condition; you rest while they are in.
3. Moxibustion and warming (10 min) — gentle heat around the treated points to finish.
【What it feels like】
The needles are about the thickness of a hair. Most people barely feel them go in. Once placed, you may feel a dull,
heavy or slightly aching sensation. In Korean medicine this is called deuk-gi (得氣) — a sign the needle has reached the right spot.
Afterwards — no marks are left. A small bruise appears occasionally and fades within two to three days.
You can walk out and continue your day as planned.
Please note — avoid alcohol and saunas for the rest of the day. Tell us at reception if you are pregnant or taking blood-thinning medication.
【First visit】
If this is your first visit, you begin with the Pulse Diagnosis & Constitution Assessment (99,000 KRW). What we do, and where, is decided from those results. There is no separate consultation fee.
