Chronic back pain is first assessed for its cause, using your history, examination and any imaging. Non-surgical options at our pain clinic include prolotherapy injections and other treatments chosen after diagnosis. New numbness, weakness or bladder changes need urgent medical review.
How we approach it
Dr. Lee Jae-won reviews when and where the pain started, previous injuries or surgery, and what movements make it worse. Injections are not given automatically; sometimes tests or another treatment come first.
Options
- Non-surgical pain treatment, including prolotherapy
- Shockwave therapy where suitable
Bring with you
Test results, imaging, treatment records and a medication list.
Frequently asked questions
Can I have back pain treatment as a visitor to Seoul?
Yes. Send records in advance so we can plan, and allow time for follow-up.
One concern, several specialists
The same concern can need a device, an injection, surgery or simply better skin care. Our skin, plastic surgery, pain and regenerative medicine doctors look at it together and recommend the least you need for the result you want.
