K-ClinicKorea Pain Clinic Short Trip for Office Workers: Dr.Google
Dr.Google Pain Medicine in Anyang, Korea is open Mon and Fri until 20:00, Tue 14:30–20:00, Wed 09:30–19:00 and Sat 09:30–14:00, and closed on Thursdays and Sundays. Office workers with limited leave can book a Friday evening or Saturday morning visit, tell K-Clinic how many days they can take, and book the return flight only after the doctor confirms it is enough. The number of pain treatment sessions differs from person to person, so do not lock in your return date first.
What office workers lack is time, not willingness
For desk workers who sit all day, back pain, buttock pain and even leg pain are very common reasons to seek treatment. But needing leave, travelling abroad and not knowing how many days to stay is where many people get stuck.
The opening days of Dr.Google Pain Medicine actually suit office workers: it is open until 8 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays, and on Saturday mornings. This guide uses the clinic's opening hours to plan a short trip.
First, note that the number of pain treatment sessions differs from person to person, and follow-up treatment is sometimes needed. The plan here is to "secure the time you can", and whether it is enough must be confirmed by the doctor.
Clinic days: which days you can go and which you cannot
Keep the weekly hours in front of you:
- Mon and Fri 09:30–20:00: you can make it after work or right after landing.
- Tue opens at 14:30: no morning visits.
- Wed 09:30–19:00: regular daytime hours.
- Sat 09:30–14:00: a weekend morning visit is possible.
- Closed Thursdays and Sundays: do not make your only visit day one of these.
A few points: Monday and Friday run until 20:00, Tuesday does not open until 14:30, Saturday ends at 14:00, and Thursday and Sunday are closed.
For people who sit a lot: describe the pain well
The clinic describes lumbar disc herniation as pain spreading from the lower back to the buttocks and leg, worse when sitting or coughing, with weakness in the ankle or toes. Office workers can note how long they sit before the pain starts, whether standing up helps, and whether the foot goes numb.
If your ankle or toes feel weak, or the numb area is spreading, tell the doctor yourself. The clinic explains that a disc herniation is judged by MRI, symptoms and whether there is muscle weakness, and where there is no progressive paralysis it may first consider non-surgical treatment.
Short-leave planning: ask about the days first, then book flights
K-Clinic's suggested order is simple: tell us how many days you can take, wait for the doctor to confirm, then book your flights.
If your leave runs from Friday to Monday, you can consider Friday (until 20:00) and Saturday (until 14:00) as visit days, treat the closed Sunday as a rest day or a day to go back to your accommodation, and see the doctor again on Monday if needed. This is only an example based on opening hours, and whether you need several visits and how far apart they should be depends on how you respond to treatment, as judged by the doctor.
The first visit is an interview, a physical examination and imaging; treatment can be given the same day if appropriate, and afterwards you can rest in the 8th-floor day ward for 6 hours or more before returning to your accommodation.
Before you take leave, confirm these 3 things
First, how many days you can stay. Second, which day you can be seen. Third, whether follow-up is needed. We ask the clinic all three for you through the live chat. Please also prepare your MRI and other imaging from home and the medication you take (especially anticoagulants and painkillers).
Opening hours: Mon, Fri 09:30–20:00, Tue 14:30–20:00, Wed 09:30–19:00, Sat 09:30–14:00, closed Thursdays and Sundays. Address: Downtown Building, 214 Simin-daero, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, 7th floor (treatment rooms) and 8th floor (ward), about a 5-minute walk from Beomgye Station on Line 4, with parking in the building.
