How do you treat Traffic Accident Injuries?

Traffic Accident InjuriesWe check when pain started after the accident and how your movement has changed. We review your previous treatment and current discomfort, then explain a care plan.

How does treatment proceed?

The visit schedule for traffic accident treatment is set by considering how much time has passed since the accident, your current symptoms, and your recovery. Weeks are counted from the date of the accident, and the actual visit schedule is adjusted after checking the level of pain, limits on movement, and discomfort in daily life. At Cheong-dam Oriental Clinic in Gwanghwamun, we review changes in your symptoms and treatment progress at each visit, and advise you on the treatment you currently need and your next visit.

FAQ

For any other questions, please ask when booking your visit.

What discomfort should I mention after an accident?

Please tell us about any pain or difficulty moving that started or changed after the accident. We review when and how the accident happened and any tests and treatment you received at other medical institutions, and discuss the evaluation and care you currently need.

What should I bring to my visit?

Please bring your ID and any accident-related test or treatment records. If you are asking about treatment under auto insurance, having your accident claim number and your insurance adjuster's contact details ready will help us guide you through the registration process.

Can I be treated under auto insurance?

If you would like treatment under auto insurance, please call before your visit to ask about the accident registration and treatment procedures. Whether insurance applies and what it covers must be confirmed with the claim details and the insurer, so we cannot say that all treatments will be covered in the same way.

What treatment will I receive after an accident?

After checking your symptoms since the accident and any previous test results, we discuss the treatment you need. Whether acupuncture, Chuna therapy, cupping, physical therapy, or other treatments are used depends on your condition, and we also confirm the scope of insurance coverage.

How often should I visit?

How often you visit depends on your progress since the accident, the level of pain, and examination results. We explain a plan at your first visit and adjust it as symptoms change. We explain insurance procedures separately from the care plan.

What does treatment for a traffic accident cost?

For an accurate estimate, please consult with us after your visit. Your costs may vary depending on the treatment needed and whether auto insurance applies. During the consultation, we will confirm what is covered and which items involve out-of-pocket costs.
