Care by Treatment Stage
From the first days after surgery through week twelve and beyond, rehabilitation intensity rises with each stage of recovery.
Stage 1: Early rehabilitation
1. Stage 1: Early rehabilitation
The stage of protecting the surgical suture while controlling pain and inflammation and gradually increasing passive range of motion (PROM). Cold and warm compresses and gentle massage manage swelling and inflammation, range of motion is widened slowly with a specialist's help, and light isometric exercise by area and basic activities-of-daily-living training proceed.
Stage 2: Intermediate rehabilitation
2. Stage 2: Intermediate rehabilitation
The stage of restoring range of motion on your own through active range of motion (AROM) work, improving strength and balance in preparation for returning to daily life. Resistance work with bands and light equipment and coordination and balance training — walking, level ground, stairs — proceed alongside acupuncture, cupping, and chuna to ease pain and muscle fatigue.
Stage 3: Late rehabilitation
3. Stage 3: Late rehabilitation
The stage aimed at a full return to daily life — work, leisure, and sport — by securing dynamic joint stability and restoring strength and endurance. High-intensity strength work such as weights and core training, coordination training including balance, jumping, and direction changes, and return-to-work and sport adaptation training proceed, with restorative herbal medicine and tailored health management aiding recovery of stamina.

FAQ
We have gathered the questions we hear most about admission and care.
A consultation will walk you through the details.
Is admission possible on Sundays and public holidays?
Yes. Saeron Clinic operates its inpatient wards 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, making admission possible even on Sundays and public holidays.
How do the single and double patient rooms operate?
Saeron Clinic operates private wards primarily featuring single and double patient rooms. Single rooms incur a premium room charge (non-covered by insurance). For current room availability, please contact us by phone.
Can I get rehab even if I was operated elsewhere?
Yes. Even if you were operated on elsewhere, we assess your current state with reference to the surgical records and images and design a staged rehabilitation program. If needed we re-check with X-ray and proceed with recovery through combined Korean and Western care.
How long does inpatient rehabilitation usually take?
It depends on the surgical site and the degree of recovery. Generally it runs in stages — early rehabilitation right after surgery (to week 4), mid-phase (weeks 4–12), and late phase (after week 12) — and intensive inpatient rehab can run alongside outpatient rehab according to your state.
Are private insurance or workers compensation covered?
Some items such as manual therapy may be covered depending on the terms of your private insurance, and post-surgical rehabilitation following a work injury can sometimes fall under workers' compensation. It varies with your insurance and claim conditions, so we will explain eligibility when you visit.
How does the Korean-Western collaborative care work?
An orthopedic specialist diagnoses with X-ray and blood tests and handles Western treatments such as prolotherapy, cartilage injections, and physical therapy, while a Korean medicine doctor designs chuna, acupuncture, cupping, herbal medicine, and manual and exercise rehabilitation alongside. One hospital, one collaborative flow from diagnosis through rehabilitation and Korean medicine care, speeding recovery.
When is hospitalization possible after surgery?
If a medical certificate and recovery are deemed necessary after spine or joint surgery, a fracture, or similar conditions, you may be admitted, and the length of stay is proportional to the diagnosed number of weeks. All admissions are decided after examination by a doctor, so please contact us in advance to arrange a consultation.
