I received thorough treatment for postpartum wrist pain at Yerim Oriental Medical Clinic in Ansan.

After giving birth, I was constantly busy with childcare and housework, and my wrists started to swell, and the tingling pain became especially worse at night. I also felt weak when holding my baby, so I visited the doctor, concerned. She explained that it wasn't simple muscle pain, but rather inflammation and nerve compression caused by overuse of the wrist while it hadn't fully recovered from childbirth. She meticulously checked my wrist movements and any tender areas, which gave me confidence.
The treatment involved acupuncture, herbal acupuncture, and a combination of cupping and heat therapy on the wrist. The acupuncture wasn't as painful as I thought, and I felt a deep release. The herbal acupuncture was supposed to help reduce inflammation, and the procedure was short and the stinging sensation was tolerable. Most importantly, the doctor gave me detailed instructions on how to do stretches at home and how to wear a brace, which was very helpful.
I appreciated the fact that the doctor offered realistic management methods, taking into account the ongoing need for childcare. After two or three treatments, the swelling was noticeably reduced, and after about two weeks, the numbness that woke me up at night was almost gone. He assured me that with consistent care, recovery was possible, which put my mind at ease.
