The Korean Society of Acupotomy, 2026 Academic Conference The successful Korean Society of Acupotomy held its ‘2026 Academic Conference’ on March 26th in the society’s lecture hall, featuring presentations, demonstrations, and Q&A sessions centered on key research achievements submitted to the society’s journal, thereby creating a platform to connect clinical practice and research. At this Korean Society of Acupotomy Academic Conference, the clinical applicability of Korean medicine complex treatments, focusing on acupotomy, was shared, along with advancements in diagnostic and treatment technologies utilizing ultrasound.
It was also impressive that the conference didn’t just stop at theoretical presentations but also included demonstrations considering actual clinical application, thereby increasing their practical utility. The academic presentations consisted of a total of 13 papers, introducing various treatment approaches and research findings, primarily focusing on musculoskeletal and neurological disorders. In particular, content applicable in actual clinical practice, such as ultrasound-guided pharmacopuncture and treatment protocols, was emphasized.
Furthermore, an excellent paper award ceremony was held, where research utilizing ultrasound received high praise and won the grand prize, and various studies related to acupotomy and Korean medicine complex treatments were also selected.
Changes observed in clinical practice: In many cases, simply reducing pain is not enough to significantly improve patients’ conditions. Therefore, accurately identifying the location of the lesion and directly treating the affected area has become increasingly important. This trend was also evident at the recent Korean Society of Acupotomy Academic Conference, where specific directions were presented on how acupotomy treatment and ultrasound-guided treatment can be combined and utilized.
