Pain Treatment
  • Neck, Shoulder & Lower Back
  • Post-Car Accident Sequelae
  • Health Insurance-Covered Herbal Medicine

We release tension and correct misalignments.

For most modern people, pain in the neck, shoulders, and lower back stems from a long-term accumulation of poor posture.
This creates a vicious cycle: muscle tension leads to reduced blood flow, which in turn slows down recovery.

01

Acupuncture Treatment

Directly stimulates tense muscles and acupuncture points to improve blood circulation, with noticeable changes in acute pain often seen after 1–2 sessions.

02

Chuna Manual Therapy

Manually corrects spinal and joint misalignment, with enhanced results when combined with acupuncture.

Treatment & Herbal Medicine Q&A

  • How often should I receive acupuncture treatment?

    For acute pain, we recommend intensive treatment three times a week for two weeks, followed by an evaluation of your progress. For chronic pain, regular treatment 1–2 times a week is recommended.

  • Is Chuna therapy painful?

    It may feel somewhat unfamiliar during treatment, but the discomfort is generally minimal. Many patients report feeling more comfortable and refreshed within 1–2 days after treatment.

  • It's been a few days since my car accident. Can I still use auto insurance for treatment?

    Our clinic can assist with the necessary paperwork, insurance company communication, and claims process. You only need to provide the following three details.

    1. Accident Report Number
    2. Personal Injury Claim Number
    3. Insurance Representative's Contact Information

  • When is the best time to take restorative herbal medicine?

    It is especially recommended during periods of physical exhaustion, seasonal changes, or intensive study and job preparation. Herbal medicine is prescribed after an individual constitution assessment.

  • Can I receive weight loss and pain treatments at the same time?

    Yes. Combining the two may provide a synergistic effect. Improved circulation may support both pain recovery and weight management.

  • My symptoms seem mild. Do I still need treatment?

    Pain after a car accident may appear several days later. Even if symptoms seem mild at first, leaving them untreated may lead to chronic pain.

  • Does health insurance cover all herbal medicine prescriptions?

    No. Coverage applies only to prescriptions for the six designated conditions. Our clinic is a participating institution in the Herbal Medicine Health Insurance Pilot Program.

  • Can I receive coverage for multiple conditions?

    Coverage is available for up to two conditions per person per year.

  • What happens after 20 days of treatment?

    After the covered 20-day period, the National Health Insurance fee schedule still applies, but the patient is responsible for the full cost.

  • Can I also claim private indemnity health insurance?

    Out-of-pocket expenses remaining after National Health Insurance coverage may be eligible for reimbursement through private indemnity health insurance. Coverage varies by insurer and policy, so please check the terms of your individual policy.
