Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine

Founded in 1999, Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine is an internationally renowned center for alternative non-surgical integrative spine and joint care located in Seoul, South Korea. The hospital has been providing traditional Korean medicine combined with modern diagnostics to treat all types of spinal and musculoskeletal diseases for nearly two decades. Jaseng has become one of the most well-known centers globally for the application of the evidence-based practice of traditional Korean medicine.

In addition to treating many thousands of patients from around the world, Jaseng is currently participating in numerous clinical studies to validate the efficacy of various forms of traditional Korean medicine. As such, Jaseng is positioned as a leader in the area of integrative non-invasive spinal care.

Medical Disciplines / Treatments Offered

Jaseng Hospital focuses on providing non-surgical treatment options to patients suffering from a variety of spine and joint conditions. Some examples include:

• Herniated discs in the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back) and lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine.
• Managing degenerative spine disease.
• Chronic lower back pain and sciatica.
• Treating neck, shoulder and joint pain.
• Managing postural imbalances and other musculoskeletal conditions.
• Rehabilitation of sports injuries.

Jaseng utilizes a wide range of treatment methods for each of these disciplines. These include:

• Chuna Manual Therapy – a form of spinal manipulation developed in Korea.
• Acupuncture and Electroacupuncture – traditional modalities used to stimulate specific areas of the body and promote natural healing processes.
• Traditional herbal medicine therapy - includes customized prescription blends based upon each individual's unique needs.
• Pharmacopuncture - involves administering herbal extracts through injection into selected points along the body.
• Integrative rehabilitation and physical therapy – combines the best aspects of conventional Western physical therapy with some of the principles of Eastern philosophy, including relaxation and meditation.

Due to Jaseng's extensive experience with developing and implementing non-operative protocols for spinal care, it is becoming increasingly well-recognized for its expertise in this area.

International Patient Services

As part of its commitment to providing high-quality service to international patients visiting Seoul for treatment, Jaseng offers a full range of services specifically designed to meet their unique needs. These services include:

• Dedicated teams to assist international patients.
• Support staff available to communicate with patients in English, Chinese, Japanese and other languages.
• Personal consultations prior to arrival to facilitate pre-travel planning and medical assessments.
• Help with making travel arrangements, obtaining necessary visas, and arranging accommodations while abroad.
• Custom-designed treatment programs tailored to meet the needs of international patients who can only stay in Korea for a short time.

Jaseng's global patient services program was established to help provide access to traditional Korean medical treatments for international patients who may have previously found them difficult to reach due to lack of availability outside of Korea.

Patient Care Philosophy & Experience

At Jaseng Hospital, the focus of care is on holistic and individualized treatment. All patients receive thorough diagnostic examinations utilizing both modern technology (e.g., MRI scans, X-rays, CT scans) and traditional methods (e.g., palpation, gait analysis). Based on these findings, each patient receives a personal care plan that addresses his/her unique medical issues.

One key aspect of Jaseng's care philosophy is the emphasis placed on non-invasive treatment. Therefore, no surgical procedures will be performed at Jaseng. Instead, treatment options emphasize patient comfort, long-term recovery and slow but steady improvement rather than rapid "quick fixes".

Typically, treatment programs at Jaseng are structured to last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. They allow patients to gradually improve physically, reduce their discomfort and regain normal functioning over time.

Overall, Jaseng is focused on creating a safe and supportive healing environment where all patients feel educated about their health challenges and empowered to manage their own recovery process after leaving the hospital.
