At Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic, we successfully treated an elementary school child's sprained ankle.

Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic~

I received the last physical therapy and consultation for my second child who sprained his ankle yesterday.

I am so pleased with it until the very end that I recommend it once again.

 

Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic

It is located on the 3rd floor of Geumgang City Tower, across from Sejong City Hall on Sejong Hannuri-daero.

Shinhan Bank is on the second floor, and Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Surgery is on the third floor.

 

Since there is also a bank, it's not an easy place to park.

There is no place to park, and since it's not a designated parking area, there are many cars parked there.

 

The consultation hours are until 8 PM on Mondays and Fridays.

Wednesday and Thursday are until 7 PM, and Saturday is until 2 PM.

Since Monday and Friday are until 8 PM, office workers can also come for physical therapy if needed.

 

More children than expected, including elementary school students and nearby middle and high school students, come for physical therapy after getting injured during sports.

There are also many office workers.

Compared to other orthopedic clinics, the two doctors really explain things well to patients and provide sincere care.

It seems that more people are visiting.

Since the actual consultation hours on Wednesday and Thursday end at 7:00 PM, many cases close for consultation even at 5:30 PM.

 

 

 

My 8-year-old second child twisted his ankle on the way back from taekwondo the week before last.

At first, I thought it was just a slight sprain, but now he's walking on tiptoe repeatedly.

When I touched it, it was so painful that I couldn't even move it, so I thought I shouldn't leave it like this and hurriedly decided to go to the orthopedic surgeon.

 

Recently, I remember my groom visiting an orthopedic clinic, so I asked him.

Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic is doing well, but since there are probably many people, I think they have closed by now, past 6 o'clock.

They also told me about other nearby orthopedic clinics.

Still, since the recommended place seemed more trustworthy, I called them and was told I could be seen within 5 minutes.

I really worked hard to go while carrying the child.

 

 

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

 

Since it was my first visit as well, I looked around and saw that to the left of the counter there are X-ray and treatment rooms.

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

 

When I went inside, it was really quite a spacious place.

I've been living in Sejong for seven years, but I realized this is my first time here.

Honestly, I have one pain that I should visit orthopedics for, but I'm just enduring it...

I think I should come here soon.

 

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

Fortunately, there were almost no people, so I took an X-ray as soon as I arrived and received medical treatment quickly.

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

They asked where exactly it hurts while asking questions.

Pressing and asking at each spot, and also observing how the child feels the pain...

 

When you visit the Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic homepage

It was announced that the consultation would take a long time due to a very detailed explanation.

I felt very confident and reassured because the doctor carefully asked questions and examined me rather than just making a quick judgment based on the X-ray.

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.

You carefully explain the child's condition by looking into my eyes, and then detail how to treat and manage it.

I have visited an orthopedic clinic before, but I don't think there was a place that explained things as kindly as this.

 

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.

Despite having quite a few treatment rooms in the physical therapy department, there are also facilities like the exercise therapy room in front.

There may be many waiting patients, so the waiting area also has plenty of seats.

It is a large orthopedic clinic with a variety of treatment rooms.

 

 

 

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, had a cast applied, and returned home.

 

The therapists who provide physical therapy are very kind, so the child was not scared and followed along well.

My child keeps cowering because they are afraid of physical therapy.

Check if the child is not sick, using a friendly voice and a child-appropriate tone.

Thank you so much for calming the child, answering questions, and providing physical therapy.

Because the child even said they wanted to receive physical therapy the next day ^^;;;

 

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 wearing those shoes following physical therapy;;;

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.

 

 

Next time, they will give me hot physical therapy.

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

 

 

After about a week, the child said the cast was uncomfortable.

I was told to do it for just a week, but after a week, I took off the cast and went around haha..

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

Since it's Thursday until 8 PM, there were really a lot of people.

 

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

Yesterday, which was also a Monday, the waiting time was quite long, so I received two physical therapy sessions at once.

 

Last week, the doctor examined and pressed the child's ankle, asking where it hurt.

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 participate in physical education.

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

Hoo... Would this tomboy really have been like that? Haha... Still, Ai recovered quickly.

 

 

And yesterday, after receiving the last physical therapy, I went to see the doctor.

Try various exercises with the child, such as walking, jumping in place, and hopping in place.

The child's condition appears to have improved overall, but we still cannot confirm whether they can walk or run for extended periods.

If a parent has to walk with their child for a long time and the child complains that their ankle hurts more than usual

They are explaining that it's okay because it hasn't fully healed yet.

 

Usually, after everything heals, we just say goodbye and end it, but I appreciate you explaining that there might be more afterward...

 

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~

From the patient's perspective, I highly recommend and introduce Sejong Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic for medical care.
