A new 1-minute video! J-CLINIC’s two beauty acupuncture courses | J-CLINIC
Hi, this is LingLing from J-CLINIC in Bangkok.
We’ve released a new 1-minute video! Watch to learn about our beauty acupuncture courses!
J-CLINIC’s two beauty acupuncture courses
1. Cosmetic care course 1,600B (45 minutes)
We bring out your natural beauty using a combination of cosmetic acupuncture and gua sha (jade stone massage).
Recommended for those who are concerned about a dull complexion, sagging skin, dark circles under the eyes, and laugh lines. If you are new to beauty acupuncture, we suggest you start with this course.
Facial acupuncture can promote the activation of collagen and elastin when the skin recovers from the prick of an extra-thin needle (0.1mm), which then relaxes tense muscles that cause wrinkles and work on lifting the face line.
Gua sha moves lymphatic fluids and improves blood circulation. It can be effective for reducing wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes, and facial bloating.
Organic cosmetics made in Thailand are used in this course. If you have sensitive skin, please ask us before booking.
A popular course among people in their 40s and up.
Recommended for anyone worried about facial sagging and wrinkles that self-care can’t fix. This special face-lifting course uses cosmetic acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and bone massage for a powerful facial lift.
In a nutshell, we work directly with the skin, muscles, and bones to lift your face and give you a youthful look.
[Highlight 1] Facial lift thru a combo of acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and massage
Facial acupuncture
Beauty acupuncture stimulates collagen production and skin regeneration.
Electro-acupuncture
Detox massage and electro-acupuncture will then relax stiff muscles and create a powerful facial lift.
[Highlight 2] Correct distortions with bone massage
Bone Massage
Bone massage will correct distortions along the cheeks, eyebrows, and the outer corner of the eyes, to achieve a more symmetric, well-defined, beautiful face.

Cupping therapy improves blood circulation, eliminates waste products, and eases stiff shoulders and lower back pain caused by poor blood circulation.
Cupping therapy
The vacuum state of cupping pulls up blood stasis to the surface of the body and improves blood circulation.
It can also be effective for removing waste and for alleviating stiff shoulders or back pain due to poor circulation.
After cupping treatment, you’ll get red spots. They may look like bruises but are painless . The redness will disappear in about 1-2 weeks, although it may last longer (about 2 weeks) in areas where your blood circulation is poor. You might want to keep this in mind when scheduling your treatment—especially if you plan to wear clothes that show your shoulders and back.
Target symptoms
Stiff shoulders or back pain caused by poor circulation
headache
Malaise
Autonomic imbalance, etc.
.
Treatment fee
Only upper body（Neck ,Shoulder and Back):800B/30min

Combining ultrasound and electrical stimulation for pain relief in Bangkok | J-CLINIC Physical therapy treatment
Hi, this is Kik from J-CLINIC Thonglor branch in Bangkok.
Today, I’m going to introduce you to our ultrasound and high-voltage therapy.
ultrasound and high-voltage therapy
As an effective way to relieve pain, it’s popular among people suffering pain from injuries and chronic back pain.
What is “ultrasound/high-voltage therapy”?
Ultrasound/high-voltage therapy is a combination therapy that uses (1) high-voltage electricity to loosen up superficial muscle tension and (2) ultrasound to relax the deeper muscles that can’t be reached by hand.
Many of the world’s top athletes use this type of electrotherapy after their daily practice, as part of their conditioning program.
What results can you expect?
Ultrasound/high-voltage therapy accelerates cell repair. It speeds up the healing of injuries and helps to relieve pain.
Benefits of ultrasound/high voltage therapy
What symptoms can be treated?
Ultrasound/high-voltage therapy is effective for treating sprained backs, chronic shoulder stiffness, frozen shoulders, sciatica, tendonitis, sprains, and pulled muscle(torn muscle), as well as for rehabilitation after surgery.
It’s also suitable for treating Osgood disease, shin splints, and various sports injuries common among both children and adults.
What are the key features of ultrasound/high-voltage therapy?
The combination therapy can treat deep muscles that can’t be reached by hand.
It’s also more efficient because it can apply two kinds of stimuli to the problem spots.
How is it combined with manual therapy?
Using high-performance treatment alone is good, but combining it with manual therapy can make the treatment even more effective.
Professional development: To make sure you get the best treatment, we pay attention to continually improving our therapists’ technique.
Motion & manipulation therapy combines manual techniques with electrotherapy and uses movement to loosen up joints with a reduced range of motion. Trigger points can be treated more quickly with this method.
Case studies
Many of the common symptoms we’ve mentioned in past posts can be treated using the ultrasound/high-voltage treatment device.
See how we treat back pain with a combination of electrotherapy and manual therapy.
We hope this gives you a better idea of how ultrasound/high-voltage therapy works.
If you are living with pain that you can’t get rid of because you don’t know the cause, or that you thought was an inevitable part of aging, or that can’t be relieved by surgery, do contact us for a consultation.

Sprained playing soccer! Ligament damage
Hello, my name is Sato and I run J-CLINIC, a physiotherapy and acupuncture clinic in Bangkok.
Today, I’m going to talk about N, an 11-year-old boy who sprained his ankle playing soccer.
Ankle sprains are scarier than you think
Many people who’ve sprained their ankles say they thought they could just put a poultice on it and it would heal. But if the ankle has been twisted hard, the ankle ligaments may be torn or partially damaged.
Torn or damaged ligaments need to be treated early. Without treatment, the ankle joint may not return to its healthy state and remain unstable.
N sprained his foot while landing from a jumping header
When jumping to head the ball during a practice soccer game, N collided with an opponent. He lost his balance and landed hard on a twisted left foot.
N’s symptoms
Severe pain in the ankle
Severe swelling
Bruising due to internal bleeding
Swelling of the inner and outer the ankle
Difficulty going up and down the stairs
Unable to put weight on the left leg because of the pain
J-CLINIC’s diagnosis
N injured the anterior talofibular ligament from twisting his foot strongly inward when landing from a jump.
Treatment to relieve pain and repair tissue
N wanted to participate in a soccer tournament in one month’s time, so we aimed for an early recovery with treatment based on electrotherapy.
1．Microcurrent therapy to repair the tissue (weak-current therapy)
The electric current flowing through the human body is called the “biological current.” Microcurrent therapy uses a weak electric current similar to the biological current and is effective in repairing tissues and enabling early recovery from injuries and pain. It’s commonly used in the sports world.
2．Ultrasound/high-voltage therapy to relieve pain
Pain is effectively relieved through combined use of (1) high-voltage electricity to loosen tension in the superficial muscles and (2) ultrasound to relax the deeper muscles that can’t be reached by hand. The combination therapy also repairs cells and is one of the most popular forms of care used by professional athletes.
Ultrasound/high-voltage therapy
In addition to electrotherapy, we used massage to loosen the tension in N’s muscles around the ankle. We also immobilized his ankle with taping and support.
N competed in the soccer tournament while undergoing treatment
N came to the clinic every day for the first four days, and by the fourth day, he recovered enough to be able to walk normally.
After the pain eased, N underwent rehab to increase his range of motion in the joints that had stiffened from been immobilized. He also did strength training targeting those muscles weakened by the injury.
Two weeks later, he was jogging and a month later, N was able to participate in the soccer tournament as he had hoped.
Causes of N’s left ankle sprain
Some root issues made N’s injury more likely:
Insufficient core muscle strength
Insufficient strength in the quadriceps muscle (especially of the left leg, N being righthanded)
Inflexibility in the leg muscle groups
In the later stages of treatment, we taught N exercises and stretches to strengthen those muscles and improve his flexibility to prevent a recurrence. We also adjusted the balance of his body.
Ankle sprains: Common among athletes
In sports such as basketball, soccer, and gymnastics, ankle injuries are said to be the second most common injury after knee injuries.
If you take sprains lightly and don’t get proper treatment and rehabilitation, you may be left with pain or ankle instability. Ankle pain may also strain other parts of your body, which may then show up as knee, hip, or back pain. These will keep you from performing at your best.
RICE procedure, then treatment
Initial treatment of a sprain is very important.
The RICE procedure is a good first-aid treatment for sprains.
The longer it takes to get proper treatment, the slower the sprain will heal and the longer the treatment will take. So do see a medical professional as soon as possible!
From BTS Phrom Phong Station, take Exit 5 and walk along Sukhumvit towards Asoke for about 5 minutes. RSU Tower will be on your right.

Does your child have good posture? | J-CLINIC Physical therapy
Hi, this is Kik from the J-CLINIC Thonglor branch in Bangkok. Today, I will talk about a child’s posture.
Your child’s posture can affect their growth and learning. Good posture allows deep breathing, boosts concentration, and calms the mind.
.
Does your child have good posture?
We want our children to learn correct posture before they enter adolescence and while their spine is still elastic.
Three keys to good posture
1. Spine elasticity
2. Be aware of your posture
3. Strengthen core muscles
But we know simply nagging them to “stop slouching!” isn’t effective. At J-CLINIC, our professional staff can advise you.
Any questions or want to reserve a spot? Call us or get in touch via Line, Facebook or Contact Form.

Self-test : Is your headache caused by muscle tension & body distortion?
Hi, this is Ble from the J-CLINIC Phromphong branch in Bangkok.
Last time, I talked about a patient who was suffering from headaches due to stiff shoulders and tension in the muscles around the back and scapula. (Link to the former blog)
What about your headaches? If you say “yes” to even one of the following, your headaches may be due to muscle tension or body distortions.
Self-test checklist
☐ I regularly take painkillers but the pain doesn’t go away
☐ I get a headache when my neck is stiff
☐ I get headaches before it rains
☐ The back of my eyes feel dull and heavy
☐ I went to the hospital to be checked but was told nothing was wrong
☐ I have a headache more than once a week
☐ My temples throb
☐ The base of my neck gets rock hard
☐ I have a hard time falling asleep and wake up in the middle of the night.
Did any of them apply to you?
Headache-related symptoms include sleep disorders, autonomic nervous symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, lightheadedness, and brain diseases. It’s better to have it properly treated and to not ignore it as “just a headache.”
For headaches caused by muscular tension and distortions, J-CLINIC uses deep-tissue massage and high-voltage electric therapy to relieve the tension and bring the body back to balance. We also give exercise guidance and lifestyle advice so that your headaches do not recur.
