Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy at Bonpyeonhan Orthopedics in Anyang City: Painful, but High Expectations for Effectiveness

- Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, Dr. Bae Jong-moon. I am receiving treatment for rotator cuff pain in my shoulder. I had been continuing with physical therapy, but since the healing process was slow, he recommended extracorporeal shockwave therapy, so I tried it.
They told me it might hurt a bit since the machine is a new model, and it really did hurt enough to make me cry. I did it because I wanted to recover quickly, but next time I should choose a method that allows for a slower recovery. After receiving the extracorporeal shockwave therapy, I came out after receiving the usual three types of physical therapy: ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and hot compresses. I always feel like I'm fully recovered after a check-up, haha, but I think this next visit might be my last.
- Bonpyeonhan Hospital has such reasonable medical fees that even extracorporeal shockwave therapy is not a burden, even without private health insurance.
- It is a hospital with a bit of a wait, so I don't have a reason to go to another hospital except in emergencies.
