Industrial Accident

Yes. Acupuncture is effective for easing pain and improving circulation in musculoskeletal injuries sustained at work. Industrial accident insurance applies, so you can be treated with no out-of-pocket cost.

Yes. Cupping releases the blood stasis and muscle tension caused by work and improves circulation. Combined with acupuncture, it is effective for lower back, shoulder and neck pain.

Yes. We prescribe herbal formulas to clear blood stasis, aid musculoskeletal recovery and ease pain. The cost of herbal medicine can also be handled through industrial accident insurance.

Accidents at work often throw the spine and joints out of alignment. If that alignment is not corrected with Chuna, it can lead to chronic pain or lasting after-effects, so we recommend early correction.

In an emergency, the first hospital you go to may be an ordinary medical institution. To continue treatment after the industrial accident claim is approved, however, the facility must be a designated industrial-accident insurance institution for the care to be covered. There is also a procedure for transferring institutions, so please check in advance rather than moving on your own.

You can look up designated industrial-accident insurance institutions on the Korea Workers' Compensation & Welfare Service website. The menus may be reorganised, so if it is hard to find, calling the customer centre (1588-0075) is faster. Even for a listed institution, the scope each one handles differs, so please phone to confirm before you go.
