At Ansan City's 21st Century Kyunghee Oriental Medical Clinic, I received thorough treatment for the aftereffects of a cast.

After a long period of cast treatment, I began experiencing frequent numbness and swelling in my right hand, so I visited a Korean medicine clinic. Even after the cast came off, my fingertips were numb, and the back of my hand was swollen and uncomfortable in the morning. The doctor carefully checked my arm and wrist joint movements, taking my pulse and checking my muscle tension. He explained that it was likely a consequence of decreased blood circulation and lymphatic flow during the immobilization period.
Treatment included acupuncture, herbal acupuncture, and tuina therapy focused on the arms and wrists. Needles were placed on acupuncture points on the wrists and inner arms, which felt like a deep, weightless release. The herbal acupuncture stung for a moment, but it quickly subsided. I also performed a light cupping therapy to reduce swelling. Immediately afterward, my fingertips felt warm and the swelling subsided slightly, which was quite remarkable.
What I liked about this clinic was that they didn't just focus on the hands, but also corrected the entire shoulder and arm line. They even provided detailed instructions on stretching and hot and cold compresses that could be done at home, making management easy. After two or three treatments, the numbness was noticeably reduced, and after about two weeks, the swelling had almost completely subsided.
