Pain Clinic in Korea Without Injections: Is It Possible?
Before visiting a pain clinic, many people worry less about the diagnosis than about one question: "Will I have to get an injection?"
At Yonsei An Pain Medicine, the answer is that injections are not mandatory. The doctor decides whether an injection is appropriate based on your evaluation, and the clinic lists many non-injection options, including a non-injection treatment package.
This article gathers those options in one place so you know what to expect before booking.
What Non-Injection Treatments Does Yonsei An Pain Medicine Offer?
The clinic focuses on non-surgical treatment. Apart from injections, its listed services fall into two groups: treatments and recovery care.
The clinic's materials list only the names of the services and do not describe which symptoms each one suits or how well it works. So which option suits you and how many sessions you need are decided by the doctor after your first evaluation, and this article does not draw conclusions on the doctor's behalf.
Spinal Decompression, Shockwave, Radiofrequency and Manual Therapy
These four are the main non-injection treatments on the clinic's menu. The clinic has 8 medical staff across pain medicine, neurosurgery, orthopedics and therapy, who discuss treatment direction together based on your test results and then plan personalized non-surgical care.
In other words, you don't simply pick one treatment. First the team works out whether your pain is linked to discs, joints, muscles, fascia or nerves, or to several factors at once, and then decides on a combination.
If the doctor decides an injection would be more suitable after evaluation, the clinic explains the treatment options and precautions beforehand, including the area, method, medication and whether it is combined with other treatments. Whether to go ahead after hearing that is your choice, and if you prefer to stay non-injection, you can say so at that point.
The first-visit exam includes a consultation, physical examination, X-ray and brainwave/pulse-wave tests. Ultrasound or 3D posture analysis is added only when needed.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber, PBM Light Therapy and IV Drips
The clinic classes the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, PBM light therapy chamber and IV drips as recovery care, and the facility has the related equipment on site.
Details, session length and single-treatment prices for these services are not published, so please confirm during your consultation. If you are claustrophobic, taking medication or may be pregnant, say so when booking so the doctor can judge whether they are suitable for you.
Custom Insoles and Knee Supports You Can Use After Going Home
The menu also includes custom insoles and knee supports. For short-stay visitors to Korea, the advantage is that you can take them home and use them every day.
Note that the clinic does not state how long they take to make. If your trip is only a few days, confirm when booking whether you can get them before you leave, then decide whether to include them.
