Why Is Post-Surgery Rehabilitation Important?

Surgery is only the first step-
it corrects the source of pain or structural damage,
but it is not the end of treatment.

Without proper post-surgical care, secondary problems such as muscle atrophy, tissue adhesion, and reduced joint function may develop.
Starting systematic rehabilitation early is crucial for faster recovery and better long-term outcomes.

Is Essential After Surgery

Patients who received
structured rehabilitation
early after surgery

Showed faster
functional recovery
within 12 weeks.

Patients with delayed
or insufficient treatment

Exhibited a slower recovery curve
and a higher risk of long-term
functional decline.

This demonstrates that
starting rehabilitation immediately
after surgery

is crucial for faster recovery
and optimal outcomes.

Main Goals of
Post-Surgery Rehabilitation

After surgery, the body has completed structural correction,
but its functional stability remains fragile.

Rehabilitation aims not only to accelerate recovery, but also
To relieve pain, rebuild muscles, restore joint movement, and help patients return to normal life.

Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)

Q. How is integrative Korean–Western rehabilitation different?
It blends Korean and Western medical approaches to relieve pain, restore tissue, and enhance function.
Bareuljung Korean Medicine Hospital provides combined treatments such as acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, Chuna therapy,
and physical/manual therapy for faster recovery and lower recurrence rates.
Q. Is it safe to take herbal medicine after surgery?
Yes. We prescribe herbal medicine that supports immunity, vitality, and tissue recovery, carefully tailored to your condition and current medications.
If needed, blood tests are performed before and after treatment to ensure safety, and our medical team checks for any drug interactions in advance.
Q. What are the benefits of thread embedding (Maeseon) and pharmacopuncture therapy?
Pharmacopuncture promotes faster healing by reducing inflammation and boosting circulation and tissue repair.
Thread embedding improves blood flow and regenerates tissue using absorbable threads, showing excellent results in paralysis and pain treatment.
Q. My surgical area is swollen or warm — can I still receive treatment?
Yes. Even with swelling or warmth, treatment is safe.
We avoid needling the surgical area and instead use distal acupuncture,
along with herbal and physical therapy to reduce inflammation and stabilize recovery before rehabilitation.
Q. How long does postoperative rehabilitation usually take?
Typically, rehabilitation lasts 4 to 12 weeks, starting with pain and swelling control, then progressing to muscle and function recovery.
Duration varies by individual recovery and surgical area.
Q. I still feel pain after surgery. Can Korean medicine help?
Yes. Persistent pain after surgery is often due to tension or adhesion.
Acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and Chuna therapy help release tension, enhance circulation, and ease pain for better recovery.
  • Not mere support, but the heart of recovery.

    Before nerve and muscle damage advances,
    early diagnosis and treatment are essential.
    Bareuljung Korean Medicine Hospital offers
    personalized integrative care to guide you safely toward recovery.
