Master chiropractor gives non-surgery cures to musculoskeletal diseases
“Chiropractic must be recognized as an official medical practice”
Director Kim Young-gil of Good-Posture Exercise Center
“Chiropractic must be recognized as an official medical treatment”
The Good-Posture Exercise Center in Chuncheon City is famous for providing non-surgery cures to musculoskeletal disease such as discs with chiropractic. Patients who visit to the center are suffering from scoliosis, anaplastia spinal lesion, discs and turtle neck. Director Kim Young-gil trained at the International Chiropractic Association in the US and came back to Korea to open the center. He feels regretful, however, to have witnessed the fact that chiropractic being recognized as an official medical treatment has been pending for tens of years in Korea and it still is.
“Two universities in Japan, for example, run college of chiropractic and there also are colleges of acupressure and of balance. It means that the government recognizes chiropractic as an official medical practice. It was 2014 that there was a move in Korea to recognize it like Japan but it had to face strong opposition of the doctors. Chiropractic is no different from other medical practices considering the fact that it cures pains of patients so it must be recognized as a medical practice” asserts Kim.
Kim studied chiropractic at Samyook Health University. He carried on the study at the International Chiropractic Association in the US and obtained a certificate. He also obtained a PhD in oriental nutritional science at Western University of Health Sciences in the US as well as a degree at Preservation FMS College in Japan.
It is notable that among many of his patients, 40 to 50 of them are foreigners who willingly make a journey to seek Kim’s professional advice and cures.
Kim corrects the posture, controls the nerves and embraces the pain
Kim is giving his utmost effort to every single patient under his principle ‘Give patients a permanent relief!’ He goes through consulting and medical examination first and controls the nerves next and uses manipulation therapy to recover health of the body without using surgery or medicine. “60% of the patients have gained diseases by bad posture. It means that it is more effective and easy to cure the diseases by correcting the bad posture and promoting healthy life style.”
Apart from being a chiropractor, he has worked as a specialist lecturer on youth, elderly people and drugs for 17 years and appeared on numerous TV programs including MBN <Trace Reportage> in 2006, SBS Gwangwon <Live Today> in 2012 and MBC <Live This Morning> in 2014.
It is Kim’s most ardent wish that chiropractic is recognized as an official medical practice in near future. It is notable that manipulation therapy at the center is not categorized for insurance. The problem is that it plays the main agent to play obstacle against the development of the field.
“There are certificates relating to body shape management, rehabilitation training and instruction for body correction. It means that there are demands of the people for these fields. So I will keep carrying on my passion in chiropractic so that more people can benefit from it”
Modern medicine today somewhat seems to standstill but new medical practice like chiropractic might blow a fresh breeze to the industry in near future thanks to a person like Kim and his continuous passion and effort in the field.
