It varies a great deal with the cause. Acute cases are relatively short; where there is a structural cause such as a disc or stenosis, we think in terms of months. The goal is to shorten the painful period and keep daily life undisturbed, and we track progress by how long you can sit and how far you can walk.

Q. Can I see orthopedic clinic and Korean medicine clinic together?

Yes, dual treatment is allowed and often more effective.

📝 Detailed Answer

Dual treatment (orthopedic + Korean medicine): ① fully allowed and commonly practiced, ② both covered by health insurance, ③ complementary approach (Western: imaging, surgery if needed; Korean: pain, soft tissue, function), ④ inform both clinics of all medications/treatments, ⑤ many patients use Korean medicine for symptom management while Western for diagnostics/surgery decisions. Comprehensive approach yields best outcomes.
