When outpatient visits alone bring slow progress, intensive inpatient care can be the key to a faster recovery. Receiving personalized, focused treatment in a private room significantly improves treatment efficiency.
When inpatient treatment is helpful
- When acute pain is severe right after a traffic accident
- When daily life is difficult due to a herniated disc or spinal stenosis
- When chronic pain is accompanied by sleep disturbances
- When rapid rehabilitation is needed after surgery
During the hospital stay, you can receive combined treatments such as acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, chuna manipulation, and herbal medicine 2 to 3 times a day in an intensive manner, allowing for a faster improvement compared to outpatient care.
