Young Kwon, who also trained in the US, sees clients in Itaewon on Wednesdays and Sundays.

At our Jeju branch you will see Daniel Hyungwook Kang, who holds a Master of Chiropractic from Macquarie University in Australia and has practised in Sydney and Singapore. He is there on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. To book in Jeju, email cwcjeju@gmail.com; the Seoul phone line does not take Jeju bookings.

All three work in English and Korean. Meet the team.

Your first visit

Chiropractic sessions usually last 15 to 20 minutes. The first one takes longer, because it starts with a conversation in English.

Bring your insurance card if you plan to use it. See how billing works.

Chiropractic questions we are asked most

Is chiropractic here the same as it is back home?

In most respects it is. Our chiropractors trained in the US and Australia and use the techniques you would recognise from home, and sessions are in English.

How long is a chiropractic session?

Sessions usually last 15 to 20 minutes. Allow longer for your first visit.

Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?

Some people feel a little sore for a day afterwards, the way you might after exercise. Tell your chiropractor if anything feels uncomfortable; gentler instrument-assisted techniques are available if you ask.

Can you bill my international insurance directly?

We bill TSS directly for the staff plans of the schools listed on our insurance page; your card may say TieCare International or GBG. With any other international insurer, you pay at your visit, then submit the claim yourself with the PDF invoice and supporting documents we prepare, or have us submit it on your behalf (please contact us in advance). Not covered: Korean national/private insurance or Tricare.

Can I combine chiropractic with rehabilitation or massage?

Yes. Chiropractic, rehabilitation exercise and massage all take place at our Itaewon center, and reception can book them one after another. We can also arrange custom insoles made from an impression of your feet. Ask about them when you book.
