They shared knowledge on integrative medical treatments that can enhance self-regeneration in various diseases.
Dr. Shin Jun-sik, founder of Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine, delivered the keynote lecture titled "Mechanisms of Self-Regeneration Recovery in Integrative Medicine Pain Treatment." He analyzed the strengths of Korean medicine from an integrative medical perspective and introduced actual cases of Korean medicine treatment applied to patients with back, neck, shoulder pain, and facial nerve palsy.
Dr. Shin stated, "Chuna therapy, acupuncture, and herbal medicine as integrative Korean medicine treatments are actively used not only for musculoskeletal disorders but also for various diseases," adding, "Just as modern Korean medicine has developed through collaboration between Korean and Western medicine, if medical experts from East and West gather their intellect at this event, we can advance treatments that enhance self-regeneration, the body's self-healing mechanism."
Following this, Lance McClain, DO, an osteopathic medicine expert from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine, compared and explained the similarities between the osteopathic treatment method "Chapman Reflex Points" and the Korean medicine concept of "acupoints."
A treatment method utilizing Qigong and Taijiquan, still unfamiliar concepts abroad, was also presented. Dr. Peter Wayne, professor at Harvard Medical School and director of the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, stated that Qigong and Taijiquan improve motor function, emotional stability, and cognitive ability, which can help in elderly health management. In the subsequent lecture, Choi Do-young, president of the Korean Medicine Association, explained the mechanisms of Korean medicine treatment for cancer pain based on literature evidence.
