Since Dr. John Orthopedics opened in my neighborhood, I haven't had to travel far to other areas to get treatment for most things there. At that time, when I woke up in the morning, my ankle suddenly hurt so much that it was difficult to even walk. I thought it was just a sprain and assumed it would heal on its own if I rested for a day or so without going to the hospital, but that wasn't the case. I felt like I couldn't wait any longer the next day, so I went to Dr. John Orthopedics to get an X-ray and a consultation. Dr. Kim Dong-hee said that the calcification looked mild and suggested we do an ultrasound first. They gave me a few injections while monitoring with an ultrasound and said that since the calcium deposits were broken, the absorption would be faster. I underwent extracorporeal shockwave therapy and physical therapy. Honestly, extracorporeal shockwave therapy is a procedure I would prefer to avoid because it is so painful, but I am relieved that it was effective.
