A review of a visit to Ongajok Oriental Medicine Clinic in Jung-gu, Seoul for a headache.

Ongajok Oriental Medicine Clinic in Jung-gu, Seoul is open until 8 p.m., so it was convenient to go there after work.

It's right in front of the station, so it's easy to find and easy to get to by subway.

 

Occipital headache is one of the symptoms that appears when you have cervical pain. It is a headache that feels like a needle is stabbing the back of your head.

Only those who have experienced laryngeal neuralgia will know.

The pain, which felt like an electric shock running from the back of my neck to my head, was so severe that it was impossible to go about my daily life.

Since painkillers like Tylenol didn't work, I went to a Korean medicine clinic and received acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping therapy, and electrical physical therapy.

The doctor of Oriental medicine seemed to have a lot of experience treating occipital headaches, as he pressed the back of my neck and explained things clearly, and the treatment progressed smoothly and smoothly.

 

Treatment included acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and physical therapy.

At first, when I got the acupuncture, it stung a little and felt like I had gotten a shot, but I didn't really feel anything from the swelling and physical therapy.

The acupuncture felt tingly and made a popping sound.

It was a little scary because it was an injection, but the strange thing was that when it was over and I left the hospital, the back of my neck felt really refreshed, as if it were a lie.

After getting acupuncture on the tense area, I felt like my tense muscles were melting away.

Do you feel like all your tense muscles are loosening up at once?

It was definitely better than before.

As I thought about why people go to Korean medicine clinics, my trust in Ongakgak Korean Medicine Clinic increased.

 

Of course, since occipital headache is a neurosurgical condition, it is difficult to cure with only Oriental medicine treatment.

It's really important to find a fundamental solution rather than just relying on painkillers.

I also went to a neurosurgery clinic, but after receiving treatment at the Oriental medicine clinic, I felt like my muscles were stretching and getting better, so I kept going until the symptoms disappeared.

 

If regular headache medication doesn't work well, or if you want to relieve muscle spasms but don't need medication, I think a Korean medicine clinic is the perfect choice.

 

If you, like me, are suffering from a headache of unknown cause, don't worry and visit a nearby Korean medicine clinic for consultation.

I recommend Ongakgak Oriental Medical Clinic to those looking for a nearby hospital.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

+It was good that the cost of the needle was covered by insurance.

I didn't know if it was covered by insurance, but after searching, I found out that it was covered by insurance, so I requested the insurance documents, and they kindly took care of it for me.

I needed to receive ongoing treatment, but the cost wasn't that high, so I was able to focus on treatment with peace of mind.

If you received acupuncture treatment and only paid the hospital bill, check the actual cost you signed up for and then file a claim.

 

Oh, and this Korean medicine clinic has a reservation system, so it's really convenient to go for acupuncture treatment without having to go in for a checkup.

I like that I don't have to wait.

Also, it is lunch time from 1pm, but I think it is convenient for patients that they accept registration until after 12:30.

The inside of the hospital is clean, and the female director is very sensible and kind, so I am able to go there without any inconvenience.
