I treated my child's ankle at Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic with child-friendly care.

My second child, who is now 8 years old, came back from taekwondo last week,

They said they got injured when their ankle was twisted during training time in Taekwondo.

It hurts...

I just thought I might have slightly twisted it again, as usual.

I just casually said, "It will get better," and then I went to pick up the kids, tidied up their bags, and did other things.

He has difficulty placing his feet properly and runs around on one foot, so when I touched him, he said it hurt and wouldn't let me touch it.

 

Oh! I think I might have just hurt myself.

In a hurry, I quickly changed the child's clothes and went to the orthopedic clinic.

Recently, I remember my groom also visited an orthopedic clinic, so I asked.

 

Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic is good, but probably because there are many people, it's past 6 o'clock now.

They said it might be closed, and they also told me about another nearby orthopedic clinic.

 

First of all, I think a place that does well will also take good care of the children.

I randomly called Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Surgery, and they said I could be seen within 5 minutes if I went right away.

 

 

So I quickly drove the car there.

Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic, located on the 3rd floor of Geumgang City Tower, is on the right immediately after getting off the elevator.

 

Maybe because it was nearing the closing time of 7 o'clock.

Fortunately, there were almost no people, so we took an X-ray as soon as we arrived.

I also saw the consultation quickly.

 

There are X-ray and treatment room facilities to the left of the counter.

There are various treatment rooms, including the consultation room on the right and physical therapy rooms inside.

 

When I entered the consultation room, the doctor kindly examined the leg from various angles and at the child's eye level.

They asked where exactly it hurts while asking questions.

 

Even if you visit the Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Surgery homepage,

It says that the consultation takes a long time due to a very detailed explanation.

It was very reassuring that you carefully asked questions and provided treatment without making quick judgments.

I was really lucky that I was able to see the doctor quickly on that day, and

Even after that, when going for physical therapy or medical consultation, there is always a minimum wait of over 20 minutes.

Or even if I go with my child after work at 5:30, the clinic is already closed... )

 

 

 

Fortunately, there is no abnormality in the bone, and it can be considered as a stretched ligament.

However, children's fascia is much thicker and more protective than that of adults.

They said that if you wear a half cast and receive physical therapy, you will recover quickly.

 

First, should I call it a splint that fits the child's foot?

Perhaps because she is a delicate young child, they are securing her feet with small-sized foot protectors and slippers.

And when I went for physical therapy, the physical therapy room was also very spacious.

There may be waiting patients, so the waiting area is also spacious.

It was a large orthopedic clinic with a front exercise therapy room and many other treatment rooms using a variety of methods.

 

 

 

On the first day, three types of physical therapy are performed: cold physical therapy and medication therapy.

If it becomes itchy due to side effects, you should let us know.

They are advising to tell someone if the child has even a slight burning sensation.

Fortunately, there were no such symptoms, so I received physical therapy for over 40 minutes.

I have returned home after getting a cast.

 

And the medical staff were also very kind.

The child might be scared, but very kind and in a voice tone tailored to children.

While calming the child, you also answered questions and provided physical therapy.

(Today, the child even said they wanted to receive more physical therapy ^^;;;)

 

What you are receiving below is a stimulating treatment.

After that, I received cold physical therapy, followed by medication treatment.

 

My daughter is happily jumping around saying she doesn't feel much pain after physical therapy and wearing those shoes;;;

Right now, you're undergoing physical therapy and wearing a cast, so it seems like you're not in pain.

I kept warning them to be careful again.

 

 

The physical therapy up to the second session involves cold treatment.

Yesterday, during the third physical therapy session, they gave me hot physical therapy.

They say that as the swelling in the ankle subsides, the treatment will change accordingly.

 

 

Today, the child said the cast was uncomfortable, so I told them to keep it on for just a week, but after a week, they took the cast off and went around haha..

And when I went for treatment, there were really many people even during physical therapy yesterday, but...

There were really a lot of people today as well.

 

There are many elementary, middle, and high school students, even more than elderly seniors, like my daughter.

There are also many adults.

Today, the waiting time was quite long as well... I decided to receive physical therapy tomorrow and only had the consultation today.

The child caught a cold again... We had even made an appointment at the pediatric clinic,ㅠㅠ

 

The doctor examined and pressed the child's ankle, asking where it hurts.

My daughter said she still feels a slight pain when climbing stairs, and she explained that stairs are more strenuous than other places, so it can happen.

I would say I am still about 70-80% recovered.

They said I need to do physical therapy a few more times... The children say this is the time when they don't recover well.

I think at this point, the children seem to have recovered.

Because I usually run and jump around as usual.

 

For now, I use the elevator rather than the stairs.

Avoid taekwondo and physical activities, and if you receive physical therapy today and be careful over the weekend,

They said it should get better by around next week.

 

 

The daughter, who was listening to such stories, said she wasn't hurt at all~

He says he wants to do Taekwondo, jump rope, and also do physical education...

I persuaded myself to endure just a few more days until I get better...

Phew... I'm worried whether this tomboy will really do it. ㅠㅠ

 

The child needs to be wearing a cast in order to use the school elevator, or

Or you need to obtain an elevator usage permit.

Tomorrow, I need to tell the teacher my situation early. Phew~~

 

 

While looking at the promises on the Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic website,

It's just a customary thing that hospitals say, but I can do it.

If you go directly and receive treatment, you can understand how much they think from the patient's perspective.

 

 

Hello, please examine the child at their eye level.

You explained everything so kindly and in detail, so I understand what the problem is.

They kindly inform me about what I should be careful of~

So I really trust it, and soon I will also have a toe pain...

I introduced Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic, which I think you should visit for treatment here.
