Haeundae Elephant Orthopedics Shoulder Pain Treatment Review

Reason for visit:
Recently, I have been experiencing persistent pain in my right shoulder, making it difficult to lift my arm or extend it backward. The pain is particularly severe at night, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep and deteriorating my overall condition, so I visited for a precise diagnosis by Director Ha Jeong-han.

Counseling Process:
The director meticulously checked the onset of pain and the range of motion at specific angles. I was impressed by how thoroughly they questioned me about my daily work posture and exercise habits to determine whether it was simply muscle pain or an internal issue such as rotator cuff problems or calcific tendinitis.

Hospital atmosphere:

Despite the large number of waiting patients, the flow of movement between the physical therapy and examination rooms for shoulder pain patients is systematically managed. Thanks to the kind guidance of the staff, the atmosphere makes one feel much more at ease, especially when one is feeling sensitive due to pain.

Decision on procedure:
To rapidly reduce inflammation and restore range of motion, we administered the most suitable and precise treatments for my current condition, including Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), injections, and manual therapy. I felt confident because they suggested only the essential fundamental treatments without any unnecessary procedures.

Honest thoughts:
If left untreated, the shoulder can easily stiffen like frozen shoulder, but I feel relieved that the director accurately pinpointed the source of the pain. Immediately after treatment, my shoulder felt much more flexible (over 90% free movement), and by consistently managing it while combining the stretching exercises you taught me, it has improved tremendously—to the point where it is safe to say I am completely cured.
