After an industrial accident, many patients only visit orthopedic or neurosurgical clinics, but Korean medicine clinics can also provide treatment covered by workers' compensation insurance.
Korean medicine treatments covered by workers' compensation
Once your workers' compensation claim is approved, you can receive acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medicine, and chuna manipulation with no out-of-pocket cost.
