Singer Rain (Jung Ji-hoon), who debuted with the song 'Bad Guy' in 2002, has been a top star in the entertainment industry for 23 years. In addition to capturing the public's attention with his fierce choreography, he is also famous for his strong acting spirit by appearing in dramas and movies such as 'Ninja Assassin'.

However, behind these activities was the hardship of playing with neck and knee injuries. Rain recently appeared on his YouTube channel 'Season Offseason' and confessed that his neck was in a bad condition, saying "There is a disc on cervical vertebrae #5 and #6." After hearing this, junior singer Taemin (group SHINee) said, "When I was young, I started dancing when I saw my brother"I was worried that "Isn't it hurting more these days?" In response, Rain added "The left knee has no cartilage, so it makes a sound 'tuk'."

Celebrities who perform both action acting and dancing, such as Rain, have difficulty avoiding musculoskeletal diseases. Neck disc is a disease in which pain occurs when the disc between the cervical bones escapes or ruptures and compresses the nerves. Long-term bad posture is also the cause, but external shocks, such as traffic accidents and falls, can also be the cause.




In addition, repeating the act of putting a strong load on the knee damages the cartilage tissue of the knee. Continuing the movement of jumping from a high place or bending and stretching the legs causes secondary damage not only to knee cartilage, but also to bones, ligaments, and tendons around the joints. It is characterized by frequent swelling and cold symptoms of the knee, and in severe cases, it can lead to chronic arthritis.

For the treatment of neck disc, oriental medicine provides integrated treatment, including acupuncture and acupuncture treatment, focusing on chuna therapy. First, the oriental doctor corrects the crooked cervical spine and surrounding muscles with Chuna therapy, which pushes and pulls bones, muscles, and ligaments with his hands. Acupuncture treatment is performed on osteoclasts, rubella, and scapula, which are effective in relieving neck stiffness, relaxes muscles around the neck and shoulders and helps blood circulation.

In particular, herbal acupuncture is considered as an effective oriental treatment for knee treatment. Acupuncture, which is refined with herbal medicine active ingredients, can be placed in the main blood spot of the knee to relieve inflammation and treat knee arthritis. In fact, the effect of reducing inflammation of acupuncture has also been scientifically proven. A research team at the Spinal Joint Research Institute of Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital analyzed the effects of Shinbaro acupuncture on mice that caused osteoarthritis. As a result, it was found that the cinbaro acupuncture group inhibited the production of 'prostaglandin E2', which causes intra-articular inflammation, by 60.59% compared to the non-administered group.




Kim Chang-yeon, head of Daejeon Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital, said "In order to prevent neck injuries, you should be careful not to get a big shock, and you should make your neck and shoulder stretching a daily life."." "If you refrain from sitting down, such as both legs and squatting, and build muscles around your knees through flat walking and light muscle training, you can reduce the burden on your knee cartilage."He emphasized that wearing soft sneakers and protective pads are also effective in preventing knee injuries.
