Orthopedic Pain & Rehabilitation Center

Pain & Rehabilitation

Center / No.04 / 3F · 5F

The place may hurt the same,
but the reason is different.

A local clinic, a university hospital, an orthopedist, or acupuncture? While you hesitate, the pain settles in. This is a pain treatment and rehabilitation center focused on non-surgical care, offering everything from precise diagnosis to prompt outpatient care and prompt admission in one building. If surgery is judged necessary, we refer you to a major university hospital, and post-surgical rehabilitation comes back here.

If this sounds like you

If you were told you need surgery
and are hesitating.

The same back pain can have different causes. Often it starts somewhere other than the back.

01The same spot has hurt for years

02Treatment helps only while it lasts

03I was advised to have surgery but I am hesitant

04It gets worse when I sit

05My leg tingles and pulls

06I want to exercise but I am afraid to

How we see it

From precise assessment
to regenerative treatment.

Movement analysis and strength assessment first find the problem in how you move. Non-surgical integrated treatment and regenerative treatment such as PRP are matched to the cause.

01Precise assessment

Movement, strength and posture are measured together.

02Imaging

When needed, MRI confirms the structural cause.

03Explaining the cause

We use pictures to explain why it hurts, not just where.

04Non-surgical treatment

Injections, manual therapy and regenerative treatment are combined.

05Rehabilitation · Return

1:1 exercise rehabilitation takes you back to daily life and sport.

The place may hurt the same,
but the reason can be different.

Four departments one patient passed through

Recovery did not end
in one department.

The record of a patient admitted for rehabilitation after surgery following a traffic accident. The video was released on Kwangdong TV in July 2025, and here we lay out which departments the patient saw, and in what order, during the stay.

Departments met during admission

1Rehabilitation Medicine · 5FDr. Sang-Hoon Shin took charge of rehabilitation after surgery. It was a process of rebuilding the act of walking from the very beginning.
2Neurology · 3FWhen pain kept the patient awake at night, Neurology was asked to join the care. Together they managed the pain that was disturbing sleep.
3Asthma & Allergy Center · 2FWhen the skin reacted to adhesive tape and bandages, Hospital Director Sang-Heon Cho saw the patient right away in the same building.
4Global Health Checkup Center · B2–B1Before discharge, while already admitted, the patient completed a health checkup and then went home.

Through four departments,
the patient never once changed hospitals.

This video is a record released by Kwangdong Hospital with the patient’s consent and reflects one individual’s experience.
