Key Takeaways
For a foreign patient, three things matter before visiting a Korean medicine clinic (한의원) in Anyang: whether anyone can consult with you in your language, how to book, and what to bring. The source data contains no language-support information at all, so whether a clinic is an English-speaking clinic has to be confirmed by phone or on the clinic's own booking page. Bring your passport or Alien Registration Card, and ask about interpretation, payment methods, and parking when you call.
If you are considering back pain treatment in Anyang, the clinic whose provided reviews actually mention back pain is Insul Myeongin Korean Medicine Clinic (인술명인한의원) in Gunpo. The reviewer wrote that their back pain improved a great deal, but this is one person's experience and does not guarantee any treatment outcome. If you want to stay within Dongan-gu, Anyang, you can compare Pyeonhan Korean Medicine Clinic (편한의원), with 90 Naver reviews and 29 Kakao reviews, against Pyeongchon Doosan Korean Medicine Clinic (평촌 두산한의원), with 35 Naver reviews and 4 Kakao reviews. Kakao ratings are 4.4 for Pyeonhan and 5 for Pyeongchon Doosan. Ratings and review counts are based on the supplied data only; Naver and Google ratings are not in the collected dataset.
The summary of the collected data gives an average Kakao Map rating of 4.8 for the four selected clinics. Note, however, that the list includes clinics in Gunpo and Gwangmyeong as well as Anyang, so check the address first if you specifically want a clinic in Anyang.
How We Compared
We collected and compared 565 Naver Place visitor reviews and 40 Kakao Map reviews — 605 in total — together with registration data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA). Review counts per clinic were compiled mainly from the supplied Naver, Kakao and Google figures, with blog reviews listed separately. Quotations are taken from the actual visitor reviews provided. A high review count does not indicate a high rating or treatment effectiveness, and each review reflects only the opinion of the person who wrote it. Under HIRA data, none of the four clinics has information available on the number of Korean medicine doctors or on treatment specialties.
Pyeongchon Doosan Korean Medicine Clinic (평촌 두산한의원)
The Kakao rating is 5, with 35 Naver reviews and 4 Kakao reviews. Blog reviews are given as 5 and Google reviews as 0. Naver and Google ratings, the number of Korean medicine doctors, and treatment specialties under HIRA data are not available. Visitor reviews mention kind service and thorough examinations, and some touch on pain cases, but they are not specific to back pain. It is therefore better to ask the clinic directly, before your visit, whether it specializes in back pain and what treatment methods it uses.
“The director is so kind. I only went because it's near my office, and I'm very satisfied.”
“They examine you carefully and it's quiet, which I liked.”
The address is 경기 안양시 동안구 흥안대로 415 서관 가동 230호 (415 Heungan-daero, Seogwan A-dong, Unit 230, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do), listed as 902 m from Pyeongchon Station Exit 4. Hours are Monday to Friday 09:30–20:00 and Saturday 10:00–14:00. Lunch hours are not stated in the data. Reservations, separate men's and women's restrooms, Wi-Fi and parking are listed as amenities. Confirm how to book, and whether parking is available and under what conditions, before you visit. The phone number is 0507-1449-4775. If you are thinking about an evening or Saturday visit, check same-day opening hours first, and it helps to describe the duration of your back pain and which movements bother you in specific terms during the consultation.
Pyeonhan Korean Medicine Clinic (편한의원)
The Kakao rating is 4.4, with 90 Naver reviews, 29 Kakao reviews and 13 Google reviews supplied. Blog reviews number 1. Naver and Google ratings, the number of Korean medicine doctors and HIRA treatment specialties are not in the data. Reviews describe receiving acupuncture and manual therapy together, and say the explanation of the treatment process was easy to understand. However, the experiences described do not guarantee the same result for every patient, and the data alone cannot confirm whether the clinic specializes in back pain. Ask directly about back pain consultations and which treatments are possible.
“I had acupuncture and manual therapy together, and the two treatments complemented each other so the effect was excellent.”
“They explained the treatment process step by step, so it was easy to understand.”
The address is 경기 안양시 동안구 시민대로 317 2층 203호 (317 Simin-daero, 2nd floor, Unit 203, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do), listed as 244 m from Pyeongchon Station Exit 3.

Confirm the booking method and whether parking is available by phone before you visit. The phone number is 0507-1484-1095. Schedule your visit with the distance from Pyeongchon Station and the Saturday closing time in mind. When you visit for back pain, tell the practitioner when the pain started and whether you have accompanying symptoms such as numbness in the legs, and if you are considering manual therapy, ask first whether it applies to your case and what it costs.
Insul Myeongin Korean Medicine Clinic (인술명인한의원)
The address is 경기 군포시 고산로 701 2층 (701 Gosan-ro, 2nd floor, Gunpo-si, Gyeonggi-do) — Gunpo, not Anyang. The Kakao rating is 5, with 171 Naver reviews and 4 Kakao reviews supplied, plus 82 blog reviews. Google reviews are given as 0. Naver and Google ratings, the number of Korean medicine doctors and HIRA treatment specialties are not in the data. Of the four clinics, this is the one whose supplied visitor reviews mention back pain and a disc problem, so its back pain experiences are worth referring to. This is one reviewer's experience only and does not guarantee a diagnosis or treatment outcome.
“I have a back disc problem anyway, and over the holiday I lay down so much I could barely walk, so I put up with it and finally visited — I'm very satisfied.”
“My back hurt, and it has improved a lot.”
Hours are Monday and Wednesday 09:30–20:00, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 09:30–19:00, and Saturday 09:30–14:00. Lunch hours and amenity information are not in the data.

Treatment experiences or visit frequency mentioned in reviews vary from person to person, so rather than following them as-is, set your plan through a consultation. Even if you are looking for somewhere close to Anyang, note that this clinic is in Gunpo and check the travel time.
Gwangmyeong J Tower Korean Medicine Clinic (광명지타워한의원)
The address is 경기 광명시 소하로 190 광명G타워 A동 239호 (190 Soha-ro, Gwangmyeong G Tower, Building A, Unit 239, Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do) — Gwangmyeong, not Anyang. The Kakao rating is 5, with 269 Naver reviews, 3 Kakao reviews and 0 Google reviews supplied. Blog reviews number 32. Naver and Google ratings, the number of Korean medicine doctors and HIRA treatment specialties are not in the data. Visitor reviews mainly cover neck and shoulder pain, a shoulder injured during exercise, and satisfaction with the consultation and explanations. The supplied reviews contain no back pain experience, so you must ask before visiting whether the clinic treats back pain and which treatments are possible.
“I've bought herbal tonic a few times after a pulse diagnosis, and today I came for acupuncture for neck and shoulder pain as well. The pain is much less.”
“I've been going because I hurt my shoulder while exercising, and it has improved quite a lot. The staff are kind.”
Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 09:30–19:00, and Thursday and Saturday 09:30–14:00. Lunch hours are not stated in the data.

Checklist for Choosing a Back Pain Korean Medicine Clinic
- Location and travel time — Confirm whether the clinic is actually in Anyang, Gunpo or Gwangmyeong, and factor in the exit number and walking distance.
- Describing your current symptoms — Note when the pain started, how long it has lasted, which movements make it worse, and any accompanying symptoms, and bring this to the consultation.
- Whether they can treat you — Call to confirm they handle back pain and the treatment you need, and ask in the same call whether an English-speaking consultation is possible.
- Treatment method and plan — Ask about the purpose of the proposed treatment, the expected schedule, and when it will be reassessed.
- Cost and insurance coverage — Confirm your out-of-pocket cost and whether insurance applies before treatment begins.
- Doctor and specialty information — If no information is publicly available, ask the clinic directly.
- Opening hours and lunch break — Check weekday and Saturday closing times, and ask separately about lunch hours.
- Booking and waiting — Find out whether reservations are possible and whether walk-ins are accepted.
- Parking and amenities — For clinics with no listed amenities, ask in advance about parking availability and conditions.
Red Flags to Watch For
- If a clinic commits to a specific treatment without an examination or symptom review, or promises a definite outcome, ask for more explanation.
- If you are pushed to pay or commit to long-term treatment without an explanation of purpose, cost and number of sessions, ask questions and take your time.
- If you are given a one-size-fits-all treatment plan without proper questions about your symptoms and health, double-check what was discussed.
- If you notice sudden or severe symptoms, or warning signs such as weakness in the legs, do not rely on a Korean medicine clinic alone — seek prompt advice from an appropriate medical institution.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I just choose the clinic in Anyang with the most reviews?
Review count alone cannot tell you whether a clinic suits your case or what the outcome will be. Check the address, opening hours, whether a back pain consultation is available, and the treatment plan and cost together.
Which clinic in this data has reviews that mention back pain?
The supplied reviews for Insul Myeongin Korean Medicine Clinic mention a back disc and back pain. This is one visitor's personal experience and does not guarantee treatment effectiveness.
If I only want to compare clinics located in Anyang, where should I look?
Pyeongchon Doosan Korean Medicine Clinic and Pyeonhan Korean Medicine Clinic are listed at addresses in Dongan-gu, Anyang-si. Insul Myeongin is in Gunpo and Gwangmyeong J Tower is in Gwangmyeong, so weigh the district and travel distance.
Can I get an English-speaking consultation at these clinics?
The source data contains no information about English-speaking staff, interpreters, or international patient services at any of the four clinics. Call the clinic directly using the numbers listed above, or check its booking page, and ask whether a consultation in English is possible before you travel.
How do I check lunch hours and parking?
Lunch hours are not stated in the data for any of the four clinics. Parking is listed as an amenity only for Pyeongchon Doosan Korean Medicine Clinic; the other three have no related information. Contact the clinic directly before your visit.
Will the treatment results in the reviews be the same for me?
That cannot be assumed. Reviews are the writer's personal experience. Describe your current symptoms and health status to the practitioner and decide on a treatment approach after the consultation.
Final Notes
If you want to compare locations and hours within Anyang first, Pyeongchon Doosan Korean Medicine Clinic and Pyeonhan Korean Medicine Clinic are the two to check; if you are looking for supplied reviews that mention back pain, Insul Myeongin Korean Medicine Clinic in Gunpo is also worth referring to. Gwangmyeong J Tower Korean Medicine Clinic is in Gwangmyeong, and its supplied reviews contain no back pain cases. Reviews and ratings are reference material only and do not guarantee the quality of care or an individual treatment outcome — and if English matters to you, ask each clinic directly whether an English-speaking consultation is available, because this data cannot tell you. Discuss your symptoms and whether treatment is needed with a practitioner. This article summarizes the supplied collected data and does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment.
