Siheung City Godohan Hospital: Post-accident Ankle Treatment Review

I was riding my bike when I collided with an oncoming kickboard. My ankle and toes were twisted momentarily, leaving me with significant pain. There was no immediate swelling, but I felt a tingling sensation with every step I took, and my toes were throbbing. Feeling anxious, I went to a Korean medicine clinic for consultation. From the very first consultation, the doctor thoroughly asked me about the cause of the collision and the location of the pain. He also personally checked my joint movements with his own hands, which gave me a sense of trust.
He explained that it was not a simple bruise, but rather a condition where the ligaments and muscles were shocked together, and suggested that we proceed with treatment in stages without overdoing it.
I used acupuncture to loosen up the tense muscles and painful areas, and also used herbal medicine to reduce swelling and inflammation.
They constantly monitored my pain intensity during treatment, so I was able to receive it without feeling nervous. Afterward, they warmed my ankles with moxibustion and even light physical therapy. Afterward, I felt much more comfortable stepping on my feet. They also provided detailed instructions on movements and stretching techniques to watch out for at home, which made managing my condition much easier. I also liked that they didn't over-recommend treatments and adjusted them based on my recovery rate, which was better than other places.
