Achilles Tendon Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

Samsung Bare Rehabilitation Medicine and Orthopedics located in Moran, Seongnam

I visited a newly opened hospital to treat my still unhealed Achilles tendon.

Today, I am already receiving my fourth treatment.

The Achilles tendon treatment started in May, but I don't know how many months it's been already.

When I first got injured, I received four Prolotherapy injections and physical therapy at a different pain clinic. I improved enough to carry out daily activities.

I have been doing Achilles tendon strengthening exercises and working out personally, but my Achilles tendon still hurts.

The doctor who treated me suggested about 10 sessions of extracorporeal shock wave therapy since I received injection treatment, so now I come to the hospital about twice a week for treatment.

 

The director kindly explains the treatment methods and exercise techniques in detail and provides a friendly consultation.

I asked out of curiosity, and since you showed me detailed comparisons with muscle and Achilles tendon photos, it felt like studying medicine.

After receiving treatment about four times over two weeks, my ankle is a little less painful than before.

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy feels different each time, perhaps because the treatment machines vary.

It feels tingling and also like a pounding sensation, and it's quite varied.

This hospital offers massage services.

A refreshing full-body massage by male nurses for 8 minutes, and after receiving it, my tense shoulders are loosened up and I feel so refreshed.

 

 

Even after visiting the hospital, the water bed massage is a new massage method I am experiencing for the first time.

I enjoyed a massage for about 7 minutes, with the roller moving down from my neck to my back, waist, thighs, and ankles, tapping along the way to the sound of the rippling water.

 

I really like that the physical therapy room is clean. They also hygienically place a tissue on each pillow, showing the hospital's attention to detail.

 

After receiving a water bed massage, I sit under far-infrared rays, apply a hot pack to my Achilles tendon, and on the other leg, I insert an air pump leg massage device and receive a massage.

 

 

Finally, when electrical therapy is completed, physical therapy comes to an end.

 

The hospital bills I get every time I go are so wasteful.

Now I should take care of my body and avoid getting hurt.
