We have compiled health stories often shared in the examination room into one volume.
In the examination room, before starting treatment, we often receive questions like these: “How is acupotomy different from general acupuncture?” “Can I receive Korean medicine treatment after completing cancer treatment?” “How can I manage fatigue after chemotherapy?” Many people, more than we might expect, want not only to resolve physical discomfort but also to understand why these symptoms occur and to know about the treatment process. That’s why Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic publishes ‘Monthly Sunyujae’ every month, so you can read the stories often shared in the examination room more comfortably.
This July issue of Monthly Sunyujae contains stories about acupotomy, Korean medicine treatment after cancer treatment, and the ongoing research activities of Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic.
Monthly Sunyujae – July
- What is acupotomy?
- Cancer treatment recovery: What should we consider together?

What is acupotomy?
“How is acupotomy different from general acupuncture?” This is one of the most frequently asked questions in the examination room. Acupotomy is a non-surgical treatment method that determines the treatment direction by looking not only at the painful area but also at the tissues and surrounding structures that restrict movement. At Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic, we utilize high-resolution ultrasound to confirm the condition and movement of tissues as needed, and we develop a treatment plan tailored to your current physical condition. In this issue, we have summarized what acupotomy is and what process is involved in determining the treatment direction.
Cancer treatment recovery: What should we consider together?
Even after completing cancer surgery or chemotherapy, discomfort such as fatigue, loss of appetite, sleep changes, and pain can persist in daily life. Since the recovery process varies from person to person, even with the same treatment, it is crucial to monitor changes in the body and develop a management plan together. In this issue, we introduced Korean medicine treatment after cancer treatment, fatigue management after chemotherapy, and aspects to confirm during the recovery process.
The Reason We Continue Both Clinical Practice and Research
Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic continues both clinical practice and research within the framework of evidence-based medicine and integrative medicine. We believe that research is not a process to introduce new treatments, but rather a process to understand current treatments more accurately and explain them easily to patients. This issue of Monthly Sunyujae also includes recent academic activities and research stories. You can see what kind of thoughts and efforts we continue to make for better treatment, even outside the examination room.
You can revisit the explanations from the examination room. Sometimes, after receiving treatment and returning home, the explanation might suddenly not come to mind. There are also cases where you want to explain the treatment process to your family or reconfirm health information. Monthly Sunyujae is created with the hope that it can be a health newsletter you can refer to again at such moments. Monthly Sunyujae is a Korean medicine health information magazine for in-clinic use, not for sale. When you visit Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic, you can read it freely during waiting times or before and after your consultation. Additionally, the content of Monthly Sunyujae is being sequentially introduced on the Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic blog. Even if you cannot visit the clinic, you can comfortably read health information by reconfirming the same content through the blog.
Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic will continue to provide information based on evidence-based medicine and integrative medicine, helping patients understand their bodies and manage their health. We sincerely thank you for joining us with Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic’s monthly magazine, prepared to deliver useful Korean medicine information in July. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us, and we will be happy to assist you.
