Q. Can a Korean medicine clinic look after rheumatoid arthritis?

We will be straightforward. For rheumatoid arthritis, being diagnosed in a rheumatology department and receiving drug treatment is the foundation. Starting treatment early is known to matter in reducing joint damage.

It is not something a Korean medicine clinic can take the place of. What we can look at alongside is the pain and stiffness, and the changes in posture and the difficulty in daily life that come with them.

When a painful joint is moved less, the muscle around it weakens, and that in turn loads the joint. Our approach is towards slowing this cycle. If you are already under medical treatment, please tell us what it involves. We will adjust so that the two do not overlap.
