“I'm in pain, but they say tests show no abnormalities… Is there no solution?”
There are many cases where people wait for hours at a hospital, undergo examinations, and the pain remains unchanged even while waiting for results. In the end, there are instances where they only hear the answer, “There are no abnormalities on the tests.”
When you are clearly in pain, it is worth reconsidering whether the result of ‘no abnormalities’ can serve as a fundamental solution.
At our INI Korean Medicine Clinic, we approach this from the perspective that “being in pain suggests there may be an imbalance somewhere.” If the flow is not smooth or if strain has been placed on any part—such as qi and blood, muscles, or ligaments—we view resolving this as important.
Immediate Confirmation
When you enter the consultation room, we promptly identify the area where the problem has occurred through physical examination and Korean medicine diagnosis.
Immediate Treatment
When necessary, we immediately begin procedures such as acupuncture, Chuna (manual therapy), and moxibustion to promote pain relief.
Immediate Improvement
Many people experience the effect of pain relief even on the same day after treatment as the flow of qi and blood improves.
(Of course, there may be individual differences in reaction speed and effectiveness.)
“Awakening the Body's Natural Healing Power Without Painkillers”
While Western medicine mainly manages pain using painkillers and injections, we focus on activating the recovery energy that one's body possesses. Instead of simply masking the pain with medication, we strive to improve the root cause by smoothing the obstructed flow of qi and blood. As a result, when the accurate treatment point is found, you may see the effect of pain being alleviated even on the same day.
Regarding the Perception that “Korean Medicine Clinics Require Long-Term Visits to Be Effective”
We often hear the opinion, “If I go to a Korean medicine clinic when I'm in pain, it feels like it will take a long time.” At our INI Korean Medicine Clinic, we proceed with diagnosis and treatment simultaneously, aiming to provide an experience where pain is relieved on the day of your visit. Tailored treatments such as acupuncture, manual therapy (Chuna, etc.), herbal medicine, and moxibustion are conducted in accordance with individual constitution and condition, allowing you to feel a changed state without waiting through long periods of treatment.
People with concerns like these are visiting our Korean medicine clinic.
- “It continues to hurt even though there are no abnormalities on tests” → When Western medical examinations show no particular abnormalities, but you feel discomfort when walking or severe pain when turning your neck
- “Isn't there another way besides surgery or painkillers?” → When you desire a method that enhances natural healing power instead of burdensome treatments like injections or surgery
- “I am in pain right now and wish it could be resolved immediately” → When you want to experience pain improvement on the same day without long-term hospitalization or waiting several weeks
“Just as going to a restaurant immediately resolves hunger, coming to a Korean medicine clinic helps provide same-day pain alleviation.”
Our INI Korean Medicine Clinic does its utmost so that when patients feel discomfort, they can experience pain alleviation on that very day.
