Teo Korean Medicine Clinic Bundang Chuna manual therapy
30-Second Answer
Chuna manual therapy begins after first checking the chief complaint, when it started, the cause, and aggravating situations.
It proceeds in order from the pelvis and legs to the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions, looking at the techniques needed.
We also look at nerve symptoms such as arm and leg numbness, and TMJ and upper cervical problems.
Treatment cycles are divided according to your condition, including cases where pain is not severe and correction is the goal.

Why the pelvis becomes misaligned
Posture and Habits
Sitting for long periods with your legs crossed or folded, and the habit of standing with your weight on one leg, can slowly break down the left-right balance of the pelvis. When such postures repeat over a long time, the spine connected to the pelvis can twist along with it, so care is needed.
Symptoms that may appear
When the pelvis is twisted, the legs may look different in length, skirts or trousers may keep turning to one side, and the thigh and hip area may feel numb or tight. Alignment that is already twisted often does not return on its own through posture correction alone, so it needs to be checked.
Approaches by stage, from the growth years to postpartum
Growing children
When sitting for long periods looking at a smartphone or keeping the head bowed continues, the spine can curve and the pelvis can twist even during the growth years. While the skeleton is still growing, changes are easier to assess than in adults, so if something is out of alignment we review postural habits and manage it with Chuna manual therapy.
The pelvis after childbirth
Because of the hormones released during pregnancy and childbirth, the joints and ligaments are more relaxed than usual during this period. A pelvis that has shifted through childbirth is managed with Chuna manual therapy after the body's condition in this period has been assessed, and how we proceed is decided according to the mother's degree of recovery.
Common questions
Health insurance-covered Chuna manual therapy and non-covered Chuna manual therapy
Not everything that carries the name Chuna manual therapy falls under the same health insurance standard. Whether it applies and how much you pay yourself can differ according to the diagnosis, the technique performed, and that year's insurance standards. Before booking or receiving the procedure, please check whether this Chuna manual therapy session is covered by health insurance and whether a non-covered cost will arise.
Number of insured sessions and number of treatment sessions
Chuna manual therapy covered by national health insurance has a yearly limit on the number of sessions, so the number of sessions judged necessary and the number covered by insurance can differ. Chuna manual therapy already received at another Korean medicine clinic can also affect that count, so please tell us about your previous visits. When a different party covers the cost, such as auto insurance, the standards can differ as well, so this needs to be checked at reception.
The words Chuna manual therapy and correction
The word correction is used broadly to mean dealing with posture or joint alignment, so it can sound like the same thing as Chuna manual therapy. Chuna manual therapy is a Korean medicine treatment performed by hand by a Korean medicine doctor after checking the chief complaint, the range of joint motion, and nerve symptoms, and the pelvis, lumbar, thoracic, and cervical order and the various techniques on this page are part of that process. Rather than judging from the name correction alone, please check who performs which technique and why.
What determines the cost of Chuna manual therapy
The cost of Chuna manual therapy may vary with how many areas are treated among the pelvis and legs, the lumbar spine, the thoracic spine, and the cervical spine, and with the techniques used alongside it, such as manual correction, COX, thrust, and distraction. During periods with frequent visits, such as 3-5 times a week early in treatment, the total cost may rise accordingly. Please confirm the exact treatment scope and cost after your consultation.
What Price Comparisons May Miss
Even under the same name of Chuna manual therapy, what is actually done can differ depending on how many areas are treated in one session and whether the price includes additional techniques such as Golta therapy. Rather than comparing price alone, it is more accurate to check the areas treated, the number of sessions, and the treatments received alongside. Please check this when you ask.
Auto insurance, indemnity insurance, and Chuna manual therapy costs
Chuna manual therapy received for a traffic accident goes through auto insurance procedures, and the way it is checked differs from receiving it under health insurance or as a non-covered treatment. For personal insurance such as indemnity insurance, the scope of coverage can differ according to the terms of the policy you hold and whether the treatment was carried out, so it cannot be stated definitively. It is safer to check in advance at the reception stage which insurance will be used.
FAQ
In what order is Chuna manual therapy performed?
We proceed in the order of pelvis and legs, lumbar spine, thoracic spine, and cervical spine, adding or skipping parts as needed.
What do you check before Chuna manual therapy?
We check your chief complaint, when and why it began, what makes it worse, and your past history, surgical history, and medications. We also check tenderness, range of motion, pelvic tilt and leg length difference, cervical and thoracic displacement and asymmetry, tenderness by spinal segment, and the distribution of nerve symptoms.
What is the treatment schedule for Chuna manual therapy?
Early on, sessions are 3–5 times a week for about 1 week, 3 times a week on alternate days in weeks 2–3, and twice a week after that. If pain is not severe and correction is the goal, sessions are 3 times a week early on and twice a week after that.
What is checked on a return visit?
We review discomfort and symptom changes after the previous treatment and plan the next treatment.
How is Chuna manual therapy covered by national health insurance told apart from non-covered Chuna manual therapy?
Not every treatment called Chuna manual therapy falls under the same insurance criteria. Your out-of-pocket cost can vary with the diagnosis, the technique used, and how many sessions national health insurance covers, so please check coverage before the treatment.
Are Chuna manual therapy and correction the same thing?
Correction is a broad word used to describe the purpose of treatment or change, while Chuna manual therapy refers to a Korean medicine treatment performed by hand after a Korean medicine doctor checks your condition. When booking, it is more accurate to confirm which Chuna manual therapy techniques are actually used rather than going by the name correction.
What does the cost of Chuna manual therapy depend on?
The cost of Chuna manual therapy may vary with how many areas are treated among the pelvis and legs, the lumbar spine, the thoracic spine, and the cervical spine, and with the techniques used together, such as manual adjustment, COX, thrust, and distraction techniques. In periods with many visits, such as early in treatment, the total cost may also rise, so the exact range should be confirmed after the consultation.
Can I receive Chuna manual therapy under auto insurance or private medical insurance?
Chuna manual therapy received after a car accident goes through the auto insurance claim process, and the way it is checked differs from when it is received under national health insurance or as a non-covered treatment. For personal insurance such as indemnity insurance, coverage may vary with the terms of the policy and when it took effect, so it is safer to check in advance at registration.
What symptoms appear when the pelvis is misaligned?
Your legs may look different in length, your skirt or pants may keep twisting to one side, and your thighs and buttocks may feel numb or tight. In many cases this does not return to normal with stretching or posture correction alone, so it needs to be checked.
Can growing children or women after childbirth also receive Chuna manual therapy?
The growth years are a time when changes in the spine and pelvis are relatively easy to assess, and after childbirth the joints and ligaments are looser than usual. In both cases, we check your current condition before deciding how to proceed.
