Chuna Manual Therapy
Q. The inflammation is bad and it is swollen — can I still have Chuna?
A.
Starting with Chuna in that state puts strain on the area instead. We settle the swelling and inflammation first, then go ahead.
📝 Detailed Answer
If the tissue around the joint is weakened, or the inflammation and swelling have not settled, having Chuna manual therapy alone can put strain on that area instead.
At Jinju Dangdang Korean Medicine Clinic, in such cases we address the swelling and inflammation first with herbal medicine, pharmacopuncture and acupuncture, and proceed with Chuna after that. Keeping to the order affects the result.
Even if you ask us to "correct it today," if your condition is not there, we may suggest leaving it to the next visit.
