Gangnam-gu Han Geul-eum Oriental Medicine Clinic: A Review of Pain Relief After Slipping

Last week, I slipped on an icy road and fell hard on my buttocks, and I was experiencing persistent pain in my sacrum, so I visited a Korean medicine clinic. At first, I thought it was just a bruise, but every time I sat down or stood up, I felt a sharp pain and a pulling sensation all the way down my lower back, so I decided I needed to get it looked at. Dr. Park Seong-hoon, who handled my consultation, calmly asked me about everything from the circumstances of the accident to the posture that caused the pain and any inconveniences in my daily life, which gave me confidence.
He explained that it wasn't a simple bruise, but rather a fall that had strained the muscles and ligaments around my pelvis. He suggested a combination of acupuncture, cupping, and herbal acupuncture. The acupuncture focused on the muscles around my sacrum, lower back, and buttocks. It was surprisingly painless, and I actually felt a sense of relief afterward. Afterward, I received cupping to drain any blood stasis, and herbal acupuncture to reduce inflammation.
Although the pain didn't decrease immediately after the treatment, I felt much better the next morning when I woke up, and I could move around much more easily. What's great about this clinic is that they don't just delay treatment for too long, but provide detailed explanations tailored to my recovery stage. They even provided guidance on posture and steaming techniques at home, making it easy to manage.
