Yonsei An Pain Medicine in Bucheon, Korea advises scheduling your first visit early in your Korea trip.

Why is scheduling the first visit on the last day the most regrettable plan?
The hospital's preparation notes are direct: schedule the visit early in your Korea trip.
Many travelers treat a clinic visit as a quick stop at the end of the trip, then find after the assessment that treatment is needed and there is no time left. This article explains why early is better and how to leave room for follow-up.
Three paths after the first visit: decided by the assessment
According to the hospital, after the assessment you may have non-injection treatment, injection treatment or a combination depending on the result, with the number of sessions decided by the doctor.
- Non-injection treatment: spinal decompression, shockwave, radiofrequency, manual therapy and more
- Injection treatment: ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, TPI, joint injections, if the doctor decides they suit you after the assessment
- Combined treatment: injection together with non-injection
Some people only have the assessment and tests, and decide after going home. Results vary from person to person, and the material gives no guarantee.
How long does the first visit itself take?
The first visit takes about 2–3 hours and includes a consultation, a musculoskeletal and nerve assessment, X-ray, and brainwave and pulse tests. The basic exam costs ₩385,000. If the doctor judges it necessary, ultrasound or 3D posture analysis is added, with costs explained separately.
The hospital recommends arriving at least 3–4 hours before closing. So do not put the first visit on the same day as a long journey.
How do I leave time before flying home?
K-Clinic suggests planning like this:
- Decide your return date first
- Count back and set the first visit as early as possible
- Keep the days after the first visit flexible and do not fill them with sightseeing
- Tell us about that flexibility and we check the arrangement with the hospital
The material gives no fixed number of treatment days, so we cannot estimate how many you will need; please ask the hospital to confirm this during your consultation.
After you go home: emailed results and insurance documents
About 1 week after your visit, the hospital emails test results, a consultation summary, treatment recommendations and X-ray files. Documents needed for overseas insurance claims can also be prepared; please check the coverage and forms directly with your insurer.
