Key Takeaways
If you are a foreign resident or medical tourist, here is what to know before you book: language support varies by clinic, and none of the five clinics below can be confirmed as English-speaking from the collected data, so you will need to confirm that by phone or on the clinic's booking page. Most clinics in Namyangju list reservations, and several also offer online or app-based booking, so it helps to call with a Korean-speaking friend, send a message through a translation app, or use the booking page. Bring your passport or ARC, your insurance information, and the clinic's Korean name and address saved on your phone so you can show it to a driver.
When choosing a chuna therapy Korean medicine clinic in Namyangju, the collected data points first to 건강누리한의원 화도마석 (Geongangnuri Korean Medicine Clinic – Hwado Maseok): with 196 Kakao Map reviews and a Google rating of 5, it stands out on both review volume and rating. On rating alone, 100세행복한의원 (100-Year Happiness Korean Medicine Clinic) is also impressive with 5 on Kakao and 5 on Google, but it has only 14 Kakao reviews. Looking at review count and rating together, 다산애한의원 (Dasan Ae Korean Medicine Clinic) shows steady patient feedback with a Kakao rating of 4.3 across 68 reviews. In other words, if review volume matters most, start with Geongangnuri Korean Medicine Clinic – Hwado Maseok; if ratings matter most, look first at 100-Year Happiness Korean Medicine Clinic and Geongangnuri Korean Medicine Clinic – Hwado Maseok.
Chuna therapy has been covered by National Health Insurance since 2019. Simple chuna is usually quoted at about 5,000–7,000 KRW out of pocket, complex chuna at 10,000–20,000 KRW, and special (dislocation) chuna at 20,000–30,000 KRW. Coverage applies to up to 20 sessions per year, and once you go past that limit the treatment may become non-covered at roughly 30,000–70,000 KRW per session, so it is worth confirming the scope of coverage before your visit.
How We Analyzed
This roundup is based on 0 Naver Place visitor reviews, 299 Kakao Map reviews, and registration data from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service. Because the Naver reviews collected came to zero, the comparison centered on Kakao Map reviews. The five selected clinics had an average Kakao Map rating of 4.6. For each clinic we looked at review counts, ratings, location, hours, amenities, and the content of actual visitor reviews so the information can be used when considering chuna therapy. HIRA data on the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties came back as not available for every clinic, so those fields are only marked where information was available.
Clinic Details
1) 조선제일한의원 (Joseon Jeil Korean Medicine Clinic)
Starting with why it is worth a look: the sample is small at 14 Kakao reviews, but the reviews repeatedly mention the doctor's manner and accessibility. No rating is provided separately, and by HIRA standards the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties is not available. This makes it a clinic where the hands-on experience described in visitor reviews is a better guide than the numbers.
I came in with badly knotted neck and shoulders, and the doctor treated me carefully and kindly. After the treatment the heavy feeling in my shoulders felt much lighter. The parking lot is especially large and convenient, which really helps if you come by car. If you are looking for a clinic in Byeollae with easy parking and good acupuncture, I would recommend it.
Office workers can get comfortable treatment late in the evening, the staff are kind, and there is plenty of up-to-date physiotherapy equipment.
The address is 경기 남양주시 덕송2로 62 강산타워 2층, and it is 108 m from Exit 3 of Byeollae Byeolgaram Station, so public transport access is good. Hours are 08:30 - 21:00 Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and 08:30 - 16:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Lunch hours are not in the collected data, so it is safer to confirm them separately before you visit. Listed amenities include baby facilities (a playroom), separate men's and women's restrooms, reservations, Wi-Fi, a waiting area and parking, which is practical for families or for people arriving by car.
Before visiting, it is worth confirming whether reservations are possible and what the parking situation is. Parking convenience also came up as an advantage in the actual reviews. As a practical tip, late evening appointments are available, which fits well with office schedules, and since physiotherapy equipment was mentioned in the reviews, ask about the treatment flow as well. On the chuna therapy side, direct mentions of chuna are not numerous in the reviews, but satisfaction with overall treatment for neck, shoulder and lower back pain is visible, so it is best to ask specifically whether chuna therapy applies to your condition and what the treatment plan would be.
2) 건강누리한의원 화도마석 (Geongangnuri Korean Medicine Clinic – Hwado Maseok)
This is the standout in the data. With 196 Kakao reviews and a Google rating of 5, both the volume of reviews and the rating are strong. There are no Naver reviews, but by Kakao standards this is the largest set among the clinics compared, making it a good first candidate for anyone searching for recommended chuna therapy clinics in Namyangju. HIRA data on the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties is not available.
Thanks to you I have been getting treatment and staying healthy for a long time. Thank you.
I searched in a hurry on a Sunday and found this clinic, which is right in front of my house, so it is convenient. The doctor and all the nurses were so kind that even though my body hurt, I felt good. There is a variety of physiotherapy equipment and you can use all of it, which was nice. The acupuncture was done so that it did not hurt.
The address is 경기 남양주시 화도읍 경춘로 1943 2층, and it is 823 m from Exit 1 of Gyeongchun Maseok Station. Hours are 08:30 - 20:00 Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and 08:30 - 15:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Lunch hours are not published. Listed amenities include reservations, separate men's and women's restrooms, Wi-Fi, a waiting area, simple payments and parking. A website and blog address are also provided, which makes it relatively easy to check the basics.
What to confirm before visiting is the reservation process and whether parking is available. Reviews mention that it is conveniently close to home and that there is a good variety of physiotherapy equipment. As a practical tip, using weekday evening hours makes it easier to fit treatment around a commute, and weekend appointments are available, which helps with sudden pain. In terms of chuna specialization, reviews mention acupuncture, physiotherapy and kindness more than chuna itself, so when you visit it is worth discussing how chuna therapy would fit into your treatment plan along with the approach for your specific pain area.
3) 다산애한의원 (Dasan Ae Korean Medicine Clinic)
With 68 Kakao reviews, a Kakao rating of 4.3 and a Google rating of 5, this is a clinic where you can look at both the number of reviews and satisfaction. Notably, the actual reviews mention chuna treatment directly, which makes them useful for people looking for chuna therapy. HIRA data on the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties is not available.
Thank you for the kind treatment. I like it because they do chuna treatment well.
I could not come last week and got by on pain patches, and my neck and shoulders hurt on alternating sides, and my hips and lower back ached and tingled on alternating sides too — after going, my steps feel lighter. They do hot packs, physiotherapy, cupping, acupuncture, chuna and pharmacopuncture, and it is great that the clinic takes National Health Insurance and private insurance as well.
The address is 경기 남양주시 다산중앙로172번길 38 엘투프라자 304호, and it is 812 m from Exit 6 of Dasan Station. Hours are 14:00 - 19:00 Thursday, 09:30 - 19:00 Friday, 09:30 - 14:00 Saturday, 09:30 - 21:00 Monday, 09:30 - 19:00 Tuesday and 09:30 - 21:00 Wednesday. Lunch hours are not provided. Reservations and parking are confirmed as amenities.
Before visiting, it is better to book in advance and to check the parking information at the same time. Reviews mention chuna together with pharmacopuncture and physiotherapy for pain in several areas — neck, shoulders, hips and lower back — so it is worth consulting here for complex pain. Since satisfaction with chuna appears directly in the reviews, on a first visit it is a good idea to ask which areas need chuna and whether National Health Insurance applies.
4) 다산지금한의원 (Dasan Jigeum Korean Medicine Clinic)
Kakao reviews are few at 7, but visitor reviews describe chuna, consultations and the reservation flow fairly specifically. The Kakao rating is 4.4. HIRA data on the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties is not available. The sample is not large, but going straight in after booking and kind explanations appear to be strengths.
I came for acupuncture because my ankle kept hurting. I came in not knowing it was a fracture, and the Korean medicine doctor told me there was both a ligament injury and a bone fracture, so I am continuing treatment. The doctor is really kind. I also received chuna for a neck disc, and they taught me stretches and exercises to do normally and explained the treatment process kindly. All the staff are kind too. Really recommended. I plan to keep going and think of them like family.
Dasan Jigeum Korean Medicine Clinic — after booking, no waiting, straight in. It was my first visit today, and from the front desk staff to the doctor and the nurses in the physiotherapy room, everyone was so kind that I left impressed.
The address is 경기 남양주시 다산지금로 136 301.302호. Hours are 09:30 - 19:00 Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and 09:30 - 14:00 Saturday; there is no information about Sunday hours. Lunch hours are not in the collected data. Confirmed amenities include parking, reservations, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, group visits and facilities for people with disabilities. As a practical tip, booking ahead reduces waiting time, and reviews mention free parking, which favors people arriving by car. In terms of chuna therapy, reviews mention chuna for a neck disc along with stretching and exercise guidance, so it suits people who also want aftercare advice.
5) 100세행복한의원 (100-Year Happiness Korean Medicine Clinic)
With a Kakao rating of 5 and a Google rating of 5, this looks very impressive on ratings alone. However, Kakao reviews number 14 and Google reviews 1, so the sample is relatively small. Even so, the reviews mention chuna and pain relief directly, making it a useful candidate for people interested in chuna therapy. HIRA data on the number of Korean medicine doctors and treatment specialties is not available.
Acupuncture, physiotherapy and chuna have almost eliminated my pain. The skilled doctor and the kind nurses made me feel at ease.
My right arm hurt and I could not raise it behind me, and I thought it was just age, but after chuna treatment today my right arm raised without pain, just like my left. Thank you for the treatment.
The address is 경기 남양주시 오남읍 진건오남로 866 해온빌딩 101호, and it is 684 m from Exit 3 of Onam Station. Hours are 09:00 - 19:00 Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and 09:00 - 14:00 Saturday; Sunday hours are not listed. There is no lunch hour information. No amenities were provided separately.
Before visiting, it is better to ask in advance about parking and how to book, and since no amenity information is listed, it also helps to check your car or public transport route. As a practical tip, reviews mention acupuncture, physiotherapy and chuna together, so if you have pain in more than one area, a combined consultation is worth it. From a chuna perspective, there are reviews about improved shoulder and arm range of motion, so it is worth checking for people who find daily movements uncomfortable.

Chuna Therapy Clinic Checklist
- Whether chuna therapy applies — first check whether insured chuna is available for your symptoms.
- Your out-of-pocket cost — ask whether it counts as simple chuna, complex chuna or special chuna.
- Annual session limit — insurance applies to a limit of 20 sessions per year, so check how many you have left.
- How to book — see whether phone booking, online booking or same-day walk-ins are possible.
- Hours — check whether you need evening or weekend appointments.
- Parking — important if you are visiting by car.
- Waiting time — check whether you can be seen right after booking.
- What the treatment includes — see whether acupuncture, pharmacopuncture and physiotherapy are combined with chuna.
- How they explain things — check whether they explain the treatment process, exercise and stretching in detail.
- Whether reviews match — look for real reviews about symptoms similar to yours.
Warning Signs
First, if the number of reviews is extremely small and the same phrases keep repeating, the range of real experience may be narrow, so more checking is needed. Second, clinics with unclear hours, lunch breaks or booking methods are hard to schedule around. Third, clinics that do not explain chuna therapy costs and the scope of insurance coverage require a consultation before you visit. Fourth, if a clinic recommends treatment without explaining your condition, it is worth comparing one more option.
