Who provides your care?
Dr. Lee Su-jin, rehabilitation medicine specialist, handles consultations and injections. Manual therapy is given one-to-one by a dedicated therapist after the visit.
The first 1 to 3 days after
A few things worth knowing before treatment.
1 to 3 days after
Stiffness or increased pain for two to three days is a normal part of the repair response, not a side effect. Contact the clinic if the pain is severe or lasts longer.
Other reactions
Headache, dizziness, swelling or rash may occur. Please consult us if it continues.
It differs by person
Not every pain responds the same. Diagnosis and response decide whether to continue.
What is different here
Both centers start with the doctor, and therapy is focused on one person at a time.
전문의가 직접 진료하고 주사해요
A rehabilitation specialist trained at Asan Medical Center examines children and adults herself and performs the ultrasound and injections.
30분 동안 한 사람만 봐요
Manual therapy and children's therapy are 30-minute one-to-one appointments with a dedicated therapist who stays with you.
두 센터가 한 건물에 있어요
The pain center on the 2nd floor and the development center on B1 share one building, so parents can be treated while their child is in therapy. Three minutes from Bangbae station exit 2.
Prolotherapy FAQ
What reactions can occur?
Using dextrose does not make the procedure risk-free. Injection-site pain or bruising may occur. We discuss expected benefits and risks before deciding on treatment.
How much improvement can I expect?
Response varies by individual, so we explain the expected outcome together with a treatment plan after an accurate diagnosis.
Which areas can prolotherapy treat?
We assess neck, back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle pain. Injection suitability is determined after diagnosis. Non-covered fees depend on the site and composition and are explained at your visit.
