Treatment is selected after consultation, not from a preset package. This overview helps you recognize the methods you may hear about and the questions worth asking.
Seoljin · Maekjin
The visit begins with questions about your symptoms and routines, followed by traditional tongue and pulse observations that help the practitioner understand the whole picture.
This assessment informs discussion; it does not replace necessary medical testing.
Chim
Single-use, fine needles are placed at selected points according to the consultation and your comfort.
Tell the practitioner about pregnancy, medications, bleeding conditions, or needle concerns.
Buhang
Gentle suction may be used on areas of muscular tension as one part of a broader visit.
Temporary circular marks can occur and should be discussed before treatment.
Chuna
Hands-on movement and pressure techniques are adapted to mobility, comfort, and the reason for your visit.
The practitioner screens for situations where manual care is not appropriate.
Dochim · Yakchim
These specialized procedures may be discussed for selected concerns after an individual assessment.
Suitability, ingredients, alternatives, and expected responses must be explained before consent.
Ichim
Small ear seeds or fine needles may be used as a light, targeted complement to the main visit.
Placement and aftercare are individualized.
Your practitioner should review medications, allergies, pregnancy, bleeding risk, recent procedures, and other health conditions before recommending care. Some symptoms require conventional testing or urgent assessment first.
