Baekchohyang Oriental Medical Clinic in Namdong-gu: Acupuncture Treatment Experience for Foot Pain

After skiing, my right big toe started throbbing and felt painful even when I walked, so I sought medical attention. At first, I thought it was simple muscle soreness, but the doctor explained that prolonged pressure from my boots and weight could have strained my joints and ligaments. The director meticulously examined my foot shape and walking habits, which gave me confidence from the start.
The treatment focused on acupuncture, focusing on the toes and soles of the feet, along with herbal medicine to reduce inflammation. While I felt a brief tingling sensation when the needles were inserted, it quickly subsided. Afterward, I immediately felt a significant decrease in the pain I'd felt when pressing the needles. Afterward, I received cupping and heat therapy, extending to my ankles and calves, which improved blood circulation and made my entire foot feel warmer. Most importantly, the doctor gave me detailed advice on lifestyle habits and shoe choices, which helped me avoid recurrence.
