[Sports Injury] The entrance exams are right around the corner, so why do pain and injuries keep holding me back?

 

hello,

Director Jeong In-hyo of Teoh Korean Medicine Clinic no see.

 

 

Today, the largest number of prospective students for art and music colleges

Experienced during practice and training Sports injuries and

I would like to talk about pain.

 

The biggest characteristic of pain in entrance exam students is
Rather than acute trauma that occurs after an injury
The problem is that there is significant accumulated damage due to repeated use.

 

So, it’s not a one-time treatment.
Why I keep getting sick, why it keeps recurring
How to manage it while continuing to practice

This perspective is very important.

 

Today, we will discuss how Korean medicine clinics view pain in students preparing for entrance exams.
Why acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, Chuna manual therapy, and herbal medicine treatments

I will explain the criteria for how it is used depending on the situation.

 

 

 

From a Korean medicine perspective, the pain experienced by entrance exam students is mostly a combination of the following three factors.

First, functional decline due to overuse of muscles and ligaments

 

Repeating the same movements reduces circulation around the muscles and joints, and
Inflammatory substances that cause pain easily accumulate.

 

In this stage, relax overly tense muscles and
Acupuncture or pharmacopuncture treatment is mainly used to relieve pain.

 

 

 

 

Second, a state where consumption outweighs recovery.

 

There is often a lot of practice but insufficient sleep, markers, and recovery.
If the body continues to be in a state where it has no room to recover on its own
Even minor damage accumulates easily, and the recovery speed gradually slows down.

 

I do high-intensity training for 3 hours a day.

The time it takes to recover naturally is

At least 48 hours or more no see.

 

In such cases, along with acupuncture treatment
Herbal medicine treatment is considered to help recover from accumulated damage.

 

 

 

 

Third, problems with posture and movement resulting from avoiding pain.

 

For example, if you injure your left ankle
Unconsciously, I shift more weight onto my right ankle.
If this pattern repeats
The pelvis and various joints of the spine bear force on only one side.

 

During this process, the pain gradually spreads to other areas and
Even with treatment focused on reducing inflammation or pain relief
Pain often recurs.

 

Because muscles and ligaments both attach to bones and joints to function,
If the alignment and function of the joints break down, the pain easily returns to its original state.

 

Therefore, in sports injuries among entrance exam students, treatment should not focus only on the injured area.
Chuna manual therapy, which corrects the functions of both the spine and joints, serves as a key pillar of treatment.

 

 

 

Chuna therapy corrects misaligned joints and movements
It is a treatment that helps the body return to normal usage patterns.

 

The most important thing in managing entrance exam candidates is not a treatment that stops them from practicing.
It is about managing pain and condition at the same time while maintaining practice.

 

Therefore, at the Korean medicine clinic, depending on the condition
Management such as acupuncture, Chuna manual therapy, herbal medicine, and tonics are provided for different purposes.

 

 

 

 

1️⃣ acupuncture treatment

Acupuncture is the most fundamental treatment for sports injuries in entrance exam students.

It relaxes muscles that are excessively tense from repeated use.

Reduce compensatory movements caused by pain

The purpose is to help prevent your posture or form from collapsing during practice.

 

For students preparing for entrance exams, acupuncture treatment is not so much a treatment that makes them rest, but rather...

It is close to basic management for continuing practice.

 

 

 

2️⃣ Chuna manual therapy

Chuna therapy addresses the posture that causes pain and

It is a treatment that fundamentally adjusts joint function problems.

Imbalance in weight support, asymmetry of the pelvic and spinal joints,

Incorrect movements hardened by repetitive training

To correct these problems and prevent pain from recurring
It plays a role in organizing the body's structure.

 

 

 

3️⃣  Herbal medicine treatment

Herbal medicine treatment is intended for the purpose of building physical strength rather than
Recovery from damage accumulated from repeated use, regulation of inflammatory response,
Therapeutic purpose to complement the recovery speed after acupuncture and Chuna treatment

It is often used as a prescription.

 

 

 

4️⃣  Management of Gongjindan herbal medicine

The difference between tonics and Gongjindan is not so much in their ingredients, but rather
You can understand it as a difference in purpose.

As the entrance exam approaches, something that appears just as frequently as pain
It is a decline in physical strength, poor quality of sleep, and reduced concentration.

In such cases, separately from pain treatment
Gongjindan management, a tonic for maintaining condition

It may also be selectively accompanied.

 

So that you can handle the amount of practice and training.
entrance exams so that recovery does not fall too far behind
It is management that supports your condition in accordance with your schedule.

 

The key is not to eat unconditionally.

The point is that you choose based on the entrance exam schedule and your physical condition.

 

 

Ultimately, it’s not that entrance exam candidates shouldn’t get sick, but...

You must not neglect the condition.

Entrance exams are not tests that end after just one day of doing well.

 

Whether my body holds up until the very end of practice,

Whether the pain does not erupt even in a stressful situation on the day of the exam,

Whether I am in a condition to show my true abilities

It is the current management that decides this.

 

 

In arts and physical education entrance exams, you must complete the race to the very end to get results.
How you manage your current physical condition

Determine your condition on the day of the entrance exam.

 

Today's content is for those preparing for entrance exams and parents
I hope this becomes a standard.
