Achilles tendon extracorporeal shock wave therapy

This is Samsung Barun Rehabilitation Medicine and Orthopedics located in Moran, Seongnam.

I visited a newly opened hospital to treat my Achilles tendon, which had not yet healed.

Today is already my fourth treatment.

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

When I first got hurt, I received four prolotherapy injections and physical therapy at the pain medicine department of another hospital. My condition improved so much that I was able to go about my daily life.

I've been doing a lot of Achilles tendon health exercises and exercising on my own, but my Achilles tendon still hurts.

The doctor who treated me gave me injections, so he suggested that I get extracorporeal shock wave therapy about 10 times, so I'm now coming to the hospital twice a week to get treatment.

 

The director provides detailed explanations of treatment methods and exercise methods, and provides friendly consultations.

I had a question, so I asked, and they explained it in detail, even showing me pictures of muscles and Achilles tendons, so it felt like I was studying medicine.

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

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy feels different each time I go, perhaps because the treatment machine is different.

It feels tingling and like it's being pounded, and it's varied.

This hospital offers massage services.

A male nurse will give you a refreshing 8-minute full-body massage. After receiving it, your tense shoulders will loosen up and you will feel so refreshed.

 

 

Even though I've been to hospitals, waterbed massage is a massage method I've never experienced before.

I had a fun 7-minute massage with the rollers going down from my neck to my back, waist, thighs, and ankles, while the sound of the water rippling.

 

I really like how clean the physical therapy room is. They even put a tissue on each pillow for hygiene purposes. This hospital is very attentive to such details.

 

After receiving a waterbed massage, I receive a far-infrared massage while a hot pack is applied to my Achilles tendon and an air pump leg massage is applied to my other leg.

 

 

Finally, physical therapy is completed with electrical therapy.

 

It's such a waste of money to pay hospital bills every time I go.

Now I have to take care of myself and not get hurt.
