After a traffic accident, neck, shoulder, and lower back pain, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue may become more pronounced the next day or a few days later than at first.
However, just because symptoms are felt later does not mean they can all be assumed to be mild muscle pain.
It is not uncommon for people to feel "I think I'm okay" at the time of the accident due to tension, only to experience a stiff neck after returning home, or a heavy ache in the lower back and trouble sleeping a few days later.

If you experience discomfort before or after menstruation, you should get an examination, as it affects not only the body but also the mind.
Therefore, we aim to help your recovery by examining aspects that may interfere with daily life.
Since this may not simply be a matter of the body becoming more sensitive but could indicate a hormonal imbalance, it is best to assess the individual’s lifestyle, constitution, and symptoms before determining a course of action.

Once the growth plates close after a certain stage of a child’s growth, it is difficult to reverse this process with any form of treatment.
In particular, thorough examinations and early treatment before the rapid growth spurt are the critical “golden period” that determines a person’s final adult height.
Tangjeong 365 Korean Medicine ClinicWe use safe, radiation-free ultrasound to precisely examine whether the growth plates in the wrists and knees are open or closed, as well as the thickness of the cartilage.
Even in minor fender-benders, the impact on the vehicle’s body is directly transmitted to the spine and joints, causing various aftereffects—such as neck and lower back pain, headaches, dizziness, and nausea—several days later.
Even if X-rays or MRIs show no fractures, the impact of the accident can cause microvascular ruptures and lead to blood stasis, where blood circulation becomes stagnant.
If this blood stasis is not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to chronic pain and autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
Whether it’s a rotator cuff tear, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, or degenerative knee arthritis, the key to treating chronic pain that is slow to heal lies in precise, targeted treatment of the affected area.
This is a state-of-the-art integrated traditional Korean medicine treatment that uses a musculoskeletal ultrasound device to directly visualize the sites of micro-injuries in ligaments, tendons, and nerves on a real-time monitor, while precisely injecting a high-concentration, pure herbal medicine extract (pharmacopuncture) with an accuracy of within 1 mm.

Ulsan When seeking consultation for post-COVID fatigue and immunity, the first step is not to jump to the conclusion that “your immune system has weakened,” but rather to determine how long the fatigue has persisted after the infection and to identify any accompanying symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, or dizziness.
While fatigue and difficulty concentrating may persist after COVID-19, if you experience severe shortness of breath, chest pain, fainting, or new neurological symptoms, prompt medical evaluation is essential.
There are people who, even after their fever and cough have subsided following a bout with COVID-19, still feel that “their energy hasn’t returned,” “even the slightest exertion leaves them exhausted until the next day,” or “they seem to catch colds more easily.”
