hello, Park Ji-hoon, Chief Director of Beautiful Korean Medicine Clinic no see. When looking in the mirror or taking a picture, If only one corner of the mouth looks droopy or, conversely, only one side looks up There are people I am concerned about. At first, it is easy to dismiss it as just a facial expression habit, but over time, you may notice that your overall facial impression looks different. Asymmetry of the corners of the mouth is It may not be just a problem with the visible shape of the lips. In this column Causes of Asymmetry in Corners of the Lip and Non-Surgical Treatment Approaches I will organize it step by step. 📘 What is the root cause of asymmetry in the corners of the mouth? 💡 Asymmetry of the corners of the mouth can be linked not only to the shape of the lips but also to issues with the balance between the upper and lower jaws. It is easy to think of asymmetry in the corners of the mouth as simply a problem around the mouth, but Misalignment of the skeletal positions of the maxilla (upper jaw) and mandible (lower jaw) This is often the root cause. 📌In other words, behind the visible difference in the mouth shape Problems with the balance of the facial central axis and the jaw It means that they can be together. In this case, rather than trying to correct only the corners of the mouth, An approach that examines the balance between the lower and upper jaws together This is important. To this end Facial bone correction By doing so, correct the basic balance and establish a foundation so that the position of the corners of the mouth does not remain a temporary change. It loses. for example, This may apply to cases where one side of the mouth appears more droopy than the other whenever a photo is taken, or where the left and right sides look different in height when smiling. 🔸 If you've been constantly bothered by only one corner of your mouth 🔸 Don't view it as just a simple facial expression habit 🔸 A perspective that also considers skeletal balance This may be necessary 📘 How do you treat lips with unnatural movement? If the movement of the muscles around your mouth has become unbalanced, you may need to go through a process of relearning natural movements. . If lip asymmetry occurs Nerve signals that move the muscles around the mouth can gradually become imbalanced. It is. At this time, it is not simply a matter of changing the shape, A direction that naturally retrains the movement itself. Access it as. ✔️To this end Low-frequency current stimulation Naturally relearn the movement of the levator labii superioris muscle by utilizing I will make you do it. ✔️Also High-frequency thermal stimulation By combining this to improve skin sagging around the corners of the mouth and elasticity We are raising it. Simply put, In cases where the movement of one corner of the mouth is awkward or one side rises less than the other when smiling A process of inducing more natural muscle movements It can be understood as. 🔸 Low-frequency electrical stimulation: Muscle movement relearning 🔸 High-frequency thermal stimulation: Improves sagging and elasticity around the corners of the mouth 🔸 Goal: More natural and defined mouth shape ⚠️ Since the treatment intensity or method of application may vary depending on the individual's condition, The process of first verifying the current asymmetric patterns and movement states This is important. 📘 How can muscle adhesions that cause the corners of the mouth to droop be resolved? 💡 If there is a strong downward pulling force on the corners of the mouth or adhesions, an approach to relax them may be necessary. . As a cause of the corners of the mouth drooping downward Muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward Pulling force of the Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) , and Thin under the skin Fascial layer (SMAS layer) There is a problem. In this case, rather than simply pulling it up from the outside, An approach that alleviates the causes of sagging together This can be seen as necessary. To this end Adhesion lysis Using Gently relaxes areas where muscles and fascia are adhered, It can alleviate the drooping movement of the corners of the mouth and simultaneously strengthen the Levator Labii Superioris (LLS). It is. Through this process A natural smile that isn't forced , and Forming a smooth front cheek line You can expect up to this point. For example, if one corner of the mouth appears to drop lower even when at rest, or if the shape of the mouth looks unnaturally bent when smiling, this approach may be considered. 🔸 Relieving the downward pull of the corners of the mouth 🔸 Relaxation of adhered areas 🔸 Helps create a natural smile line FAQ Q1. Are skeletal correction or adhesion lysis very painful? A1. The degree to which it is felt varies from person to person, but They explain that since it is performed using non-surgical methods, most people can undergo it without significant discomfort. In addition, adhesion lysis is It is possible to proceed with minimal pain by using a treatment tool of fine thickness. Q2. What does electrical stimulation therapy for neural relearning feel like? A2. Stimulation like low-frequency current gently tapping the muscles It may feel like... It is a process of awakening the movement of stiff muscles around the mouth, after the procedure The mouth feels much lighter You can receive. Q3. How many sessions does it usually take to see the effects of the treatment? A3. You can see immediate results from a single treatment, but , in order to completely change the misaligned skeletal and muscular memory, depending on the condition 3 to 10 treatment sessions are recommended. do. conclusion Losing a tooth may not simply mean the creation of a single empty space. As time passes Tilting of surrounding teeth, changes in occlusion, alveolar bone resorption This is because multiple changes can follow together, like this. In particular, it is important not to overlook the fact that a problem that initially appears small can later lead to more extensive treatment. This does not mean you must rush to decide on treatment, but Checking the current state first and establishing criteria for judgment It is necessary. 📌 Even if the discomfort is not significant, if the period of neglect is prolonged, it may be helpful to have it checked at least once. ✨ Please carefully determine the best direction for your dental condition through a consultation with a medical professional.

Hello, this is Director Choi Woo-hyuk. When you get a health checkup, you may wonder, “Do I really need to do this?” The list is growing, and not all tests are beneficial to my health. If unnecessary tests only increase radiation exposure and costs There are quite a few. Here A prosecutor who does more harm than good and Key tests you must take Let's clearly distinguish between them. Why should we 'select' health checkup items? 📢 More is not always better. The more health checkup items there are, the more reassuring you feel, but In reality Tests that only increase information but do not lead to action There are many too. ✔️ The purpose of the checkup is Early detection and manageability ⚠️ Even if discovered, a test that does not lead to management or treatment is of little value. ✔️ I Controllable tests The key is to choose based on your preferences What are the mandatory health checkups that the country requires? 📢 This is not an option, it's a default . 🔹 Nationally supported screening for the five major cancers stomach cancer : Gastroscopy colon cancer : Fecal occult blood test → If positive, colonoscopy liver cancer : Abdominal ultrasound (high-risk group) cervical cancer : Cervical cancer screening breast cancer : Mammography (age 40 or older) 👉 These items are The most basic of the basics , and it is an examination that cannot be missed. What is the starting point of all testing? 📢 The starting point of all health checkups is Blood and urine tests no see. ✔️ Check basic indicators such as anemia, liver function, blood sugar, and cholesterol ✔️ If there is something wrong with your body, it will be revealed first in numbers. ✔️ If there are any abnormal findings, consider imaging tests as the next step. 👉 It is not efficient to go straight to CT/MRI without this step. Why are ultrasound examinations so important? 📢 Less burden, more information . Ultrasound can examine organs in real time without radiation exposure. 🔸 Ultrasound examinations to consider Abdominal ultrasound : Regardless of gender, check regularly Thyroid ultrasound : Important even among young people Breast ultrasound (female) : Considered from a relatively early age ✔️ You can hear explanations right during the test Easy to understand the results and move on to the next action What additional tests should I consider based on my age and family history? 📢This test is not necessary for everyone. 🔹 Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular related coronary artery CT : If you have a family history of cardiovascular disease Brain MRA : If you are over 40 years old and have high blood pressure 👉 It only makes sense when there are certain risk factors. What health checkup items have more harm than good? 📢These items require caution. ⚠️ Abdominal CT without contrast enhancement Long-term distinction is limited Little information is available about radiation exposure. ⚠️ PET-CT (for evaluating metastasis in cancer patients) Tests for patients undergoing cancer treatment For healthy people High radiation burden ⚠️ MRI of the back and limbs without symptoms If there is no pain or symptoms, it is not effective for screening purposes. Low utilization of results ⚠️ Asymptomatic cardiac ultrasound No special tests required unless there are any abnormalities How should I decide on the timing and items for a health checkup? 📢Avoid peak season and only take care of the essentials. 📅 Choose a relatively quiet time compared to the peak season at the end of the year ✔️ Basic examination + national support screening + ultrasound center ⚠️ Other items Choose according to your situation FAQ Q1. Isn't it better to have more inspection items? A1. No. Testing that doesn't lead to management only creates confusion. Q2. Wouldn't it be better to get a CT or MRI scan at least once? A2. Imaging tests taken without symptoms or risk factors may do more harm than good. Q3. What should I do if I'm confused about which test to take? A3. It is safest to consult with a doctor based on the results of a basic checkup. conclusion ✔️ You don't need to do all the tests ✔️ Focusing on national support screening, basic examinations, and ultrasound ✔️ Choosing only the tests that are meaningful to you is the wisest way to manage your health. If necessary, definitely Decision made through consultation with a specialist do.

최우혁 원장26.02.10Views 267Likes 4 [Health Column] Is surgery really the answer for herniated cervical and lumbar discs?[9]
hello, Director Kim Hyeong-min of Rebom Oriental Medicine Hospital (Daegu Branch) no see. When neck or back pain makes daily life difficult, the first word that comes to mind for many people is ' disk 'no see. But the disc is not just a 'sore spot' problem, Changes in posture, habits, and alignment that have accumulated over a long period of time result Did you know that? This time, let's understand the disk from a slightly different perspective, When is surgery necessary? , What to be careful about in life , What management is helpful? I'd like to explain. Rather than being blindly afraid, try to understand it accurately and deal with it wisely! 1. Is a herniated disc really a disease that occurs suddenly? ✅ The disk is not the 'culprit', but rather a structure closer to the 'victim' that is the first to get tired in the collapsed alignment. When a disc bulges, it's easy to think, "The disc caused the problem," but before that, a lot of changes are already happening inside your body. turtle neck with the head tilted forward hunched sitting posture Lifestyle habits that place weight on one side As this situation repeats, pressure is concentrated on a specific area, and eventually the disc that cannot withstand it is pushed out. ✔️ Key points Disc protrusion is a 'result' The cause is a breakdown in the alignment of the entire body. It is important to look at the structure together. 2. What postures and habits can worsen disc problems? ✅ Certain movements can push the disc further toward the nerve, making symptoms worse. If you have a disk Behaviors to be especially careful about There is this. 🔸 Deep bending of the waist 🔸 Maintaining a squat position for a long time 🔸 Lifting heavy objects using only your back strength 🔸 Excessive stretching by folding the waist in half ⚠️ If your arms and legs feel numb or the pain feels like electric shocks, it is not just pain. It may be a sign of neurological symptoms, so more attention is needed. do. In times like these, rather than overdoing exercise, Rest to maintain alignment and reduce pressure This first are you. ✔️ importance point Keep your back straight Remove unnecessary force No excessive exercise 3. Is walking good exercise even if I have a herniated disc? ✅ Depending on the situation, it can be either ‘helpful’ or ‘burdensome.’ Walking is generally a good exercise for your back, but An exception may be made in the acute disc stage. If the nerve is strongly compressed, walking for a long time will actually increase the pressure and make the pain and radiating pain worse. Because you can do it. ✔️ Try this 🔹 Short, frequent walks with your back straight 🔹 If you have trouble standing for a long time, lean against the back of a chair. 🔹 If you have to sit for a long time, use a cushion to keep your back aligned. In the end, what matters is not “how much exercise you do,” “Do it in a way that suits the current situation?” no see. 4. So… do I really need surgery? ✅ Most discs can be improved sufficiently with care and alignment restoration without surgery. When a herniated disc is seen on an MRI, many people worry and ask, “Do I need surgery now…?” But in reality, There are very limited cases where surgery is absolutely necessary. no see. ⚠️ When surgery should be considered If your arm/leg muscles become noticeably thinner or lose strength rapidly A situation where one's ankle is twisted and one is limping Sudden incontinence (emergency) But these cases are only a very small fraction of the total. Most of them Improvement is possible with just spinal alignment restoration and lifestyle modification. As the alignment is restored, the pressure concentrated on the disc is naturally distributed and the pain also begins to stabilize. ✔️ Key Message Understanding “why the disc is herniated” rather than whether or not to have surgery Changing your environment is key to long-term recovery. FAQ Q1. Can the disc heal on its own over time? A1. Some may recover naturally over time, but if the misalignment persists, repeated pressure on the same area may cause it to worsen again. So, along with recovery, Alignment and load flow management are required together. do. Q2. I have a herniated disc. Should I exercise or not? A2. It depends on the situation. During the acute phase, maintaining alignment is more important than excessive exercise. After the recovery period, light muscle strengthening and functional recovery exercises can be helpful in stages. The important thing is: Whether the exercise is suitable for my current condition no see. conclusion The key to disc treatment is ‘alignment’. Discs aren't something that suddenly appears one day. They're the first structures to wear out over time, thanks to accumulated lifestyle habits and alignment issues. Therefore, rather than focusing solely on the area where pain is present, Examining alignment, load, and movement flow together is the most important factor in solving the fundamental problem. ✔️ Key points to remember today Only a very small number of cases require surgery. Most people can improve sufficiently with alignment restoration and lifestyle correction. It's more important to "fix the environment" than to "blame the disk." Rather than being anxious, check your body condition now and manage it safely with expert advice. We support healthy movement and a comfortable daily life!

김형민 원장25.12.22Views 330Likes 6 [Health Column] Spinal Stenosis: Pay Attention to the Signals Your Legs Send Before Your Back![12]
hello, Director Moon Ji-hwan of Rebom Oriental Medicine Hospital no see. When you walk, your calves and thighs easily become sore, If your legs start to feel numb after walking just a little bit and you have to rest, is it simply fatigue? Many people only think of back pain, Spinal stenosis often first presents itself in the legs. Today this disease Why does it occur, why does it repeat, and from what perspective should we look at it? cast Let's organize it to fit our daily experiences. Why does spinal stenosis occur? The cause of spinal stenosis is not the 'result' of nerve compression, The process of 'reducing the space' through which nerves pass This is the key. As I get older ✔️ The posterior joint is getting thicker and thicker ✔️ The ligaments become stiff ✔️ The alignment of the waist and pelvis may be disrupted. If this condition continues Weight is repeatedly placed on a specific area , In that cumulative process The space in the passage through which the nerve passes gradually decreases. At first, it may feel like simple leg fatigue and be easy to miss, but ⚠️ If you experience recurring discomfort while walking, it may be an early sign. “It used to be a no-brainer, but these days it’s hard to walk without taking frequent breaks.” 👉 Instead of simply dismissing recurring walking discomfort as ‘due to age,’ it is better to examine the cause. What are the symptoms of spinal stenosis? Spinal stenosis is Discomfort varies depending on posture This is a representative feature. ✔️ If you straighten your back, the discomfort will get worse (the space for the nerves to pass through becomes narrower) ✔️ A feeling of temporary relief when bending over (the space for the nerves to pass through is temporarily expanded) Because of this, many people Walking posture with the back unconsciously bent will be taken. However, this posture actually increases lumbar instability. ⚠️ spinal canal It can accelerate the progression of stenosis. 🔸 Symptoms that may appear together Reduced walking distance Feeling like my legs are losing strength sensory changes 👉 If symptoms change depending on posture, it may be a structural problem rather than simple muscle pain. Why does spinal stenosis recur or worsen? Because the 'reason' for the narrowing of the neural canal has not been resolved. Spinal stenosis is not simply a recurring “narrowing of the nerve canal.” ✔️ If the axis of the waist and pelvis remains collapsed, ✔️ The weight remains in the same position ✔️ Changes such as posterior joint hypertrophy and ligament hypertrophy accumulate again. (Hypertrophy, simply put, is more than the original Thickened and enlarged no see.) So many people Repeating the pattern of “getting better and then feeling uncomfortable again” It will be done. “I was fine for a while after the treatment, but at some point I had trouble walking again.” 👉 Rather than just alleviating symptoms, Why is it repeated? We need a perspective that looks at it together. Why should we look at spinal stenosis structurally? When treating spinal stenosis This is because we look at the ‘alignment flow’ of the waist-pelvis-hip joint, not just the waist. Spinal stenosis is 👉 It is the 'result' of a pinched nerve 👉 The process of accumulated change as alignment collapses no see. The treatment used at this time is ✔️ Alignment-based manual therapy ✔️ Spinal Alignment Restoration It doesn't just stop at relaxing your muscles, Considering the axes of the pelvis, lumbar spine, and hip joints together Direction to reduce lumbar shaking and instability It proceeds as follows. When the alignment is stable ✔️ Reduces the burden on the nerves when walking ✔️ An environment is created that can alleviate the inconvenience of walking in daily life. It is important to “not just look at the narrow space, but to correct why it has become narrow.” FAQ Q1. Does all spinal stenosis require surgery? A1. Not all cases are candidates for surgery. Many people can manage it with non-surgical treatment and lifestyle management. However, if there are changes in nerve function such as decreased leg strength, loss of sensation, or urinary difficulty, prompt treatment is required. Q2. Is walking exercise helpful? A2. While it may help in some situations, forcing yourself to walk while out of alignment can actually make the discomfort worse. It is important to adjust the amount and method of walking according to your individual condition. Q3. If the pain is reduced, does that mean the stenosis has improved? A3. It is difficult to determine recovery based on pain reduction alone. If the structural cause remains, symptoms may reappear. 📌Spinal stenosis Structural disorders that affect walking ability beyond back pain no see. So rather than simply reducing inconvenience, ✔️ Why the neural canal is narrow ✔️ What alignment changes have accumulated? It is important to look at the process together. Although not all of your current symptoms may be signs of illness, If you experience recurring discomfort while walking in your daily life It's a good idea to check it out once in a while. Through consultation with a specialist Management direction that suits your condition Please take a look.
