An honest review of the treatment effectiveness at 'The Barun Korean Medicine Clinic' for finger joint pain![2]

Some time ago, I started experiencing tingling and prickling pain in every joint of my left hand. At first, I thought it was just a temporary symptom from using my smartphone or computer a lot, so I brushed it off lightly, but the pain got worse day by day. When I woke up in the morning, my fingers felt stiff, and I suddenly felt scared as even everyday actions like holding a cup or turning a doorknob became difficult. Feeling that I couldn't neglect it any longer, I inquired about a place that treats hand pain well and eventually visited 'The Barun Korean Medicine Clinic' located in Haeundae. When I first entered the clinic, the first thing that caught my eye was the neat and sophisticated interior and the pleasantly maintained facilities. Instead of the typical cold feeling of a hospital, the warm and comfortable atmosphere helped to significantly ease my tension. Above all, the staff at the desk welcomed me very kindly with bright smiles, so I was very pleased with the first impression. After registering and receiving treatment from the director, I immediately understood why this place is so famous through word of mouth. He personally examined each joint of my left hand one by one and asked very detailed questions about when the pain started, the nature of the pain, and even my daily habits regarding the use of my hands. I felt deep professionalism and sincerity in the way you explained the root cause of my pain in a simple and detailed manner, tailored to my level of understanding, rather than mechanically prescribing medication based solely on symptoms. I received great comfort thanks to your warm attitude of listening attentively to my story. The touching experience continued during the subsequent acupuncture and physical therapy sessions. You carefully located the exact acupoints where I was experiencing pain and administered acupuncture, and your thoughtfulness in continuously checking throughout the treatment to see if I was in any pain or discomfort was outstanding. Thank you, Director Kim Tae* Physical therapy also focused on gently loosening the painful areas, and I felt my body and mind at ease throughout the treatment.

I am satisfied with the kind and thorough treatment at Munsan Kyunghee Korean Medicine Clinic in Paju.[8]

I have visited Kyung Hee Korean Medicine Clinic several times, and I have always felt very comfortable receiving treatment each time. First of all, the director is very kind, and I appreciated that they did not gloss over the painful areas but meticulously checked exactly where and how I was experiencing discomfort. It didn't feel like they were just looking at the symptoms; they made an effort to listen to where I felt the most discomfort and what kind of treatment I wanted, which instilled trust in me. They explained things in an easy-to-understand way and didn't pressure me into excessive treatments, which made me feel more at ease visiting. The clinic atmosphere was calm, and the staff were friendly, so I was satisfied every time I visited. I'll visit again when you're sick!

I received good treatment for my headache at Yunjung Korean Medicine Clinic in Nowon-gu.[10]

I visited a Korean medicine clinic near my home because I had a headache. I stopped by because I usually pass by it, and I found that the director is the only doctor treating patients, without any nurses. I went straight to the examination room and explained my symptoms, and he began treating me. He identified the cause of my headache and prescribed a customized treatment. He used a massage gun to loosen up the knots in my upper body, provided heat therapy, and gave me acupuncture and pharmacopuncture treatments on the specific area of ​​my head where the headache was. The director was kind, explained everything in detail, and performed the procedures meticulously, so I felt comfortable throughout the treatment. Usually, when I go to an internal medicine clinic, they just prescribe medicine or injections, so I am glad I came to a Korean medicine clinic. Although I visited for a headache, he mentioned that I might also have issues with my stomach. I received treatment for a little over an hour, and I plan to visit again if I feel unwell in the future.

Seongnam Ganada Korean Medicine Clinic, Shoulder Pain Treatment Review[6]

My left shoulder hurts a lot. I must have done dumbbell exercises incorrectly, because it hurts intensely when hanging, swinging my arms backward, or rotating them to lather with soap. In the past, I used to endure the pain even when it was just a little because I had more painful areas, but now that other parts of my body have almost healed, my left shoulder hurts a lot. The doctor patiently explained that the cause is not just in the painful spot, but involves various interconnected areas, while pressing on them. After inserting the needles, he checked the level of pain by having me raise my arm and move it, and then inserted the needles again. After finishing the initial insertion, he pressed on the front of my shoulder again and inserted needles into the painful spots. It feels much softer now that I've finished the acupuncture treatment.
