BM's Perspective: Finding Balance for Brain and Body
BM Korean Internal Medicine Clinic interprets headaches not merely as symptoms to be suppressed with painkillers, but as signals that the body and brain's balance is disrupted. Following the principles of Best Medicine (BM), we first thoroughly exclude the possibility of life-threatening secondary headaches. We utilize neurological examinations and imaging if necessary to clarify the "Disease Diagnosis (Diagnosis of disease names according to the universal diagnostic system worldwide)".
For non-emergency chronic headaches, particularly migraine or tension-type headaches, Korean Medicine offers highly effective approaches. In Korean Medicine, headaches are viewed under the category of "Head Wind" (頭風) and are further classified by causes such as Liver Yang Rising (肝陽上亢, fire from stress), Qi and Blood Deficiency (氣血虛, lack of energy), and Phlegm Reversal (痰厥, waste products from digestive issues).
- Integrative Treatment: We aim to break the vicious cycle of Medication-Overuse Headache. Through personalized herbal medicine and acupuncture tailored to your constitution, we improve cerebral blood flow and stabilize the nervous system.
- Lifestyle Correction: By carefully managing lifestyle factors such as sleep, diet, and stress that trigger headaches, we help you regain "Healthy Freedom" without pain.
