Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most before a visit
Q. Do I have to get a steroid injection?
At Yonsei SM, we use saline solution instead of steroid injections. When the cause is identified and treated, many patients do well without steroids.
Learn MoreQ. How long does treatment take?
It varies by condition and severity, but we typically check how you are responding after 3 to 4 visits.
Learn MoreQ. Why does it keep coming back?
Because only the symptoms are treated while the cause is left in place. Circulation treatment also works on the cause, with the goal of lowering the risk of recurrence.
