Q. When is pharmacopuncture used?

These are the cases where we use pharmacopuncture at Jinju Dangdang Korean Medicine Clinic.

• Pain accompanied by acute or chronic inflammation
• Spine and joint conditions such as disc problems, frozen shoulder, low back pain and sciatica
• Muscle pain and tension in the fascia
• Cases where the inflammation and swelling need addressing before Chuna manual therapy

The amount injected, the depth and the number of sessions differ with the condition, your own state and the intensity of treatment. Among the several kinds — distilled, immune and meridian pharmacopuncture among them — we choose the one that suits your state that day.
