Back pain treatment review

A few days ago, I suddenly collapsed and injured my back, to the point where I couldn't get up or sit down due to severe pain.

I lost consciousness after falling and was taken to the emergency room by ambulance.

The emergency room said there were no major abnormalities in all the test results, but when I tried to stand up, my back hurt so badly it felt like it was going to break, so I couldn't get up.

I barely moved in a wheelchair and came home in a family car.

I couldn't get up the next day because my back still hurt. I was unable to go to work.

So, I visited Yonsei Osang Hospital upon my family's recommendation.

 

 

When I was leaving home, I could barely get there by crawling, but fortunately, I was able to borrow a wheelchair in front of the hospital. However, even sitting was very exhausting.

The hospital is now open, so it was clean, spacious, and there were almost no waiters. However, the reason I came here was because a well-known neurosurgeon from Gangnam opened this place.

 

 

 

X-ray was taken first.

As expected, the doctor said my back looks fine in the photos and there are no issues, and in fact, my spinal condition is very good for my age. I explained that I had a major traffic accident ten years ago and still experience some aftereffects occasionally. So, we decided to do the MRI scan next time and I received an injection first. I always feel a bit better after getting an injection.

 

 

I received the injection separately at the acupuncture treatment room.

So, I couldn't take a separate picture.

 

And then I received a treatment similar to extracorporeal shock wave therapy for about 30 minutes.

It didn't heal right away after just one time.

The next day, I continued to feel sick, so this time I received traditional Korean medicine treatment.

Yonsei Osang Hospital is a place where integrated Western and traditional Korean medicine consultations are available.

 

 

The traditional Korean medicine treatment was done alone, so there are no separate photos.

I received acupuncture and moxibusion treatments.

It took about a week to recover and return to work after visiting the hospital about three times and improving my back.

My back isn't fully healed yet, but I have no problem carrying out daily activities.

The aftereffects of a traffic accident still come back every few years, so I need to stay cautious.

Please take care of your health as well.
