Itaewon Wellness Chiropractic Sports Medicine Center in Seoul

I’ve been in Seoul for few days only on my way back to Europe when I pulled my lower back and ended up in great pain. I was lucky to get recommended to visit Dr James Lee who helped me a lot to get back to my normal self and feel good enough to fly back to my country without serious back problems.

I had a very positive experience here and would like to recommend coming here. Dr Lee is extremely friendly and approachable, I felt very comfortable and relaxed during my session. He was very informative and gave a lot of good helpful detail and insight into my muscle tightness and posture problems. I left with a lot of insight on what to do and the massage/chiropractic treatment he gave me definitely gave good relief. I will likely return for more treatment. I was also quite happy with the treatment price, it is very reasonable, particularly in comparison to other clinics.

I got a chiropractic adjustment and left feeling way better than I arrived and still feel good days later. My muscles are looser and I am hardly in any pain. If you're unsure about going for an adjustment as I was because I was scared of someone else touching my spine, don't worry! You are in good hands.

The consultation was very thorough. Dr. Lee seemed genuinely concerned about my well-being, not just in a rush to treat me and send me on my way like other doctors. I felt taken care of and he was more than willing to answer my many questions. He also has a good sense of humor and good outlook. He gave me a lot of great advice and was intent on fixing the cause of the problem and not just the symptom, which was the pain I came in with. I highly recommend paying him a visit. Especially as a foreigner he was respectful and spoke very good English.

I had a deep tissue massage for 70,000 won. I was very disappointed as the massage was not very deep at all despite several requests to use more strengths. At the end, the massage did not alleviate any of the pain I was feeling.

The clinic and staff were very friendly. They show you how to get to the clinic with very clear instructions and everyone speaks english.

In March 2016 I had 3 brutal deep massages that essentially locked up my right neck/shoulder area into concrete and steel. I gradually developed pain worse and worse in neck area, upper shoulder and bad referred elbow pain for over 2 months…sometimes almost intolerable. First tried regular doctor with patch and NSAIDS…nothing. Then neurosurgeon, neck X-ray (BAD neck!!!) and many, many strong pain meds…nothing. Then I tried acupuncture, electric energy and suction cups…nothing. Then I tried osteopath and posture correction (neck up)…worse. Then orthopedic surgeon…neck very BAD, need surgery = no way! Finally, after intense research on my condition, found Dr. Lee at Itaewon Wellness by Googling “trigger point therapy in Korea”. After 6+ muscle therapy plus acupuncture treatments with Dr. Lee over 2+ weeks (AND now continuing) my pain is over 90% gone and still getting better!!! Anticipate full recovery soon and even better than before!!!

I had the needle treatment, along with a bed which had a roller massage (which was done before the needle work) and after the needle treatment, the doctor also performed chiropractic on my neck and back - it felt very good afterwards.
During the needle work the doctor managed to find a blockage in my intestine, which then afterwards he massaged it and informed what I should eat and that I should see him the following week to continue treatment on all ailments.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and have recommended it to my friends.
I have even told some family members who do holisitic therapy and they told me they think the doc knows what he's talking about, and recommended that I have regular sessions with him.

I had sever pain in my ankle. Mr. Lee was able to decrease the pain, and took the time to discover the root issue. During my second visit, we discussed other minor issues I've had in the past, many of which had been misdiagnosed. For the kind of injury I have, multiple visits are required, and I can honestly say I look forward to my next appointment.

I found Itaewon Wellness Chiropractic Sports Medicine Center in Seoul via an internet search. After asking a few coworkers if they'd heard of it, many replied that they had, and they HIGHLY recommend going. Although I was skeptical of some of the treatments, I can't argue with the results!

My back was really bad when I got there. However, after several kinds of treatments within an hour and a half, including craniosacral work and chiropracitc, I was taller, stronger and my breathing as a singer was the best ever in my life!!! I can't recommend them enough!!!

Chiro work, acupuncture, physical rehab

I took a nasty spill in December 2014 and seriously injured my right knee. The hospital had me pay $500 for an MRI, misdiagnosed the injury (got the wrong ligament), and the doctor who was 'helping' me spontaneously retired without warning.
It took Dr. Lee literally 5 seconds of inspecting my knee to see that the previous doc had not only misdiagnosed me, but caused my quadricep muscle to atrophy by putting me on crutches for so long. He had me come in twice a week for acupuncture, chiro work, and light rehab exercises.
Now, I'm back to doing weighted squats and deadlifts in the gym. The man is a miracle worker; he did for my knee in 2 months what Western medicine could not in 3, and for the same price
I can't recommend the man enough. He is enormously knowledgeable about his field, very friendly, passionate about his work, and trusting; often i did not have enough money to pay up front, so he let me come in for multiple sessions before I got my next paycheck-- rather than make me wait until then to start my treatment.

If you have an injury or need some work done, GO SEE THIS MAN.

yeah

I got a really good evaluation and a world class treatment. Massage, acupuncture, chiropractic. All that helped immediately against my back aches. Thank you very much, Dr. Lee.

The service is way more than what I had expected. He is professional and has knowledge in his field. His personality makes you feel very welcome and he is funny by nature, one which all foreigners can relate to. I recommend his service and clinic to anyone. The price is fair for what you get and he is fluent in English.

The doctor was great, efficient and effective. I would have no hesitation recommending him to anyone!

The doctor is very hospitable and the atmosphere is welcoming and calming. I was very happy with the treatment and took the whole course. It is always a pleasant and healthy thing to come to this clinic. I strongly recommend it to everyone.
