K-ClinicKorea Nerve Block Injection: Yonsei Ahn Pain Clinic 2026
Nerve block injection in Korea at Yonsei Ahn Pain Clinic includes ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, TPI and joint injections, but not everyone needs an injection. After a 2–3 hour first-visit evaluation, the doctor decides the site, method, drug and any combined treatment. Injection + non-injection packages cost ₩830,000–₩2,500,000, including the ₩385,000 basic exam.
Is It True Korean Pain Clinics Just Give You One Shot?
If you have had back, neck-and-shoulder or knee pain for a long time, you may have heard friends say, "Just get a nerve block at a pain clinic in Korea."
Yonsei Ahn Pain Clinic does offer nerve block and injection treatment, but its approach is clear: evaluate thoroughly first, then decide how to treat. Injection is one option, not something you get the moment you walk in.
This article covers the injection treatments the clinic lists, what the doctor decides before injecting, and the cost and scheduling.
What Injection Treatments Does Yonsei Ahn Pain Clinic Offer?
Yonsei Ahn Pain Clinic lists three injection treatments: ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, TPI (trigger point injection) and joint injections, combined with non-injection treatment when needed.
The clinic's materials list only the treatment names and do not describe which symptoms each one suits. So this article does not judge "which pain needs which injection" — whether an injection is right for you and where it goes are decided by the doctor after the first-visit evaluation.
Results of injection treatment vary from person to person, and the clinic's materials do not provide any guarantee.
What Does the Doctor Decide Before a Nerve Block Injection?
Injections at Yonsei Ahn Pain Clinic are not one-size-fits-all: the doctor decides the site, method and drug, and whether to combine treatments, based on your evaluation results.
The clinic explains that treatment options and precautions are described before the procedure. Whether to go ahead is your choice; if you prefer a mainly non-injection approach, you can say so at that point, and the clinic also has non-injection treatment packages.
These decisions are made by a team of 8 medical staff across pain medicine, neurosurgery, orthopedics and the treatment department, who confirm the treatment direction together based on the nature of the pain and the test results. Director Cho Nam-ryong is a board-certified specialist in anesthesiology and pain medicine.
First-Visit Evaluation: Required Before Any Injection
The first visit takes about 2–3 hours and includes a detailed interview, musculoskeletal and nerve assessment, and necessary tests such as X-ray and brainwave and pulse-wave evaluation.
The goal is to work out whether your pain relates to the spinal discs, joints, muscles, fascia or nerves, or to several factors together. Ultrasound or 3D posture analysis is added only when needed, with the fee explained separately.
How Much Does Injection Treatment Cost in Korea?
