One in four people
in Korea suffer
from spinal disorders?
Spinal problems are
no longer limited to
middle-aged or older adults.
According to 2023 data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA),
there are approximately 9.6 million spinal disorder patients in Korea,
and when including cervical spine conditions, the number rises to 12.24 million
meaning one in every four Koreans has sought medical care for spinal issues.

Fundamental care at Bareuljung
Over the past seven years, the number of spinal disorder patients in Korea has steadily increased
from 8.39 million in 2016 to 9.6 million in 2023, and up to 12.24 million when including cervical spine conditions.
This rise is largely due to modern lifestyle factors such as prolonged sitting, poor posture, and stress.
Because spinal disorders are both common and deeply impactful on daily life,
early management and systematic treatment are essential.

Common Spinal Disorders
The spine is the body’s central structure, supporting posture and protecting the nervous system.
However, poor posture, aging, or injury can lead to various spinal conditions that
go beyond simple neck or back pain, often affecting overall body function.
Explore the major spinal disorders below to see which may relate to your symptoms.
- 1 Cervical Disc Herniation (Neck Disc)
Neck and shoulder pain, arm or hand numbness - 2 Spinal Stenosis
Leg pain, numbness, or weakness while walking - 3 Scoliosis
Shoulder and pelvic imbalance, poor posture - 4 Lumbar Disc Herniation (Lower Back Disc)
Lower back pain, leg numbness, radiating pain - 5 Acute & Chronic Low Back Pain

Spinal Disorders,Early Treatment is the Key!
The earlier spinal disorders are detected and treated,
the faster the recovery and the lower the risk of complications.
Although each condition differs in
its location and symptoms,
they all commonly lead to reduced daily
function and quality of life.
If symptoms appear, don’t dismiss them as simple pain,
accurate diagnosis and timely treatment are essential.
Why Is Early Treatment for
Spinal Disorders So Important?
Spinal disorders don’t just cause back pain,
they can lead to nerve damage
and even walking difficulties.
Receiving active treatment in the early stages
can significantly reduce the risk of
chronic progression or surgery.
Even mild symptoms should not be ignored,
as early diagnosis and treatment are key
to long-term recovery.

Early treatment not only relieves pain but also plays a crucial
role in preventing spinal nerve damage and preserving function.
Conversely, delayed treatment can lead to irreversible nerve damage,
resulting in gait impairment or even the need for surgery.
In other words, early treatment is a key factor that determines the patient’s quality of life.
Early diagnosis and treatment are essential
to keep minor pain from becoming long-term discomfort.
