Suwon Goryeo Orthopedic Clinic

There are probably a lot of people who sit and work all day. I also work in the IT industry, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., other than my lunch break, I’m stuck sitting in front of a computer the entire time. It’s definitely a much more comfortable environment than working outdoors, but after sitting and working all day for so long, my lower back has started to hurt and my pelvis feels stiff too.. ㅜㅜ I didn’t have symptoms like this until my mid-30s, but now that I’m in my late 30s, it could just be because I’m getting older!! Haha. Or maybe my posture has gotten worse without me realizing it~ I don’t get much exercise normally. After work, I’m so exhausted that all I can think about is getting home. I only go to Pilates on weekends, but even correcting my posture through Pilates didn’t get rid of the stiffness in my lower back and pelvis. I started wondering if I should visit a hospital, so I looked for an orthopedic clinic in Jangan-gu. There are several orthopedic clinics in Jangan-gu, but Suwon Korea Bon Orthopedic Clinic was close to my house and also seemed fairly large. Smaller clinics can be fine as long as the doctor is skilled, but I thought it would be better to go somewhere with well-equipped machines and facilities for treatment, so I chose Suwon Korea Bon Orthopedic Clinic. The orthopedic clinic in Jangan-gu is only a 7-minute walk from my house!! That’s pretty close, right? It’s just the right distance for a leisurely walk. Since I only sit while working, the stiffness in my lower back and pelvis got especially worse in the afternoons. So I kept getting up to stretch, Suwon Korea Bon Orthopedic Clinic, the orthopedic clinic in Jangan-gu, is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and until 8 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. So it’s perfect for visiting after work!! I get off at Sungkyunkwan University Station a little after 7 p.m., so I’ve been going every Monday and Wednesday. On Saturdays, they’re open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with a lunch break from 1 to 2 p.m., so keep that in mind when you visit~ Since it’s a large hospital, they also have quite a few medical staff!! There probably aren’t many orthopedic clinics in Jangan-gu around here with facilities this large, right?? Suwon Korea Bon Orthopedic Clinic even has the latest extracorporeal shock wave therapy equipment! Hehe. I heard that it’s really painful.. My aunt had been receiving treatment for a long time because her wrist wasn’t in good condition. She also had extracorporeal shock wave therapy, and she said it hurt so much that tears just streamed down her face ㅜㅜ But strangely, some people say it doesn’t hurt while others say it does, so I guess the level of pain varies from person to person! When I first visited because of the stiffness in my lower back and pelvis, I was worried they might tell me to get extracorporeal shock wave therapy too, but thankfully, it wasn’t necessary for me ^^ The director of Suwon Korea Bon Orthopedic Clinic had apparently worked as a professor at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital!! I felt that I could trust him more because he must have seen many different types of patients if he had worked at a university hospital. And when I met the director, he immediately pointed out what was wrong with my posture. The stiffness in my lower back and pelvis is worse on the left side, you see? He said he could tell just by looking at how I was sitting: my left leg was angled outward a little more, and my body was leaning toward the left, which was why that side felt stiffer. Rather than just listening to my symptoms and treating them, he tried to identify the cause first. I had thought my posture was probably bad, but I didn’t know exactly how it was wrong. After listening to what the director said and checking my posture, I realized that I really was leaning more toward the left!! There was no unnecessary treatment at all, and I was happy that he explained my symptoms and treatment options in detail. Since the pain wasn’t severe, he said there was no need to prescribe strong medication and that I only needed to take something to relieve the symptoms. We also decided that I would receive physical therapy for the time being. I asked if it was okay to continue going to Pilates on weekends, and he said it was a very good form of exercise for my lower back and pelvis, so I shouldn’t go only once in a while but should definitely keep going every weekend. Hehe. Actually, I don’t go to Pilates twice every weekend—I just go whenever I happen to think of it ㅠㅠ I received physical therapy and treatment using a machine called SASO vibration massage! I had been really worried that they might tell me to get extracorporeal shock wave therapy, hehe. SASO vibration massage is said to be a high-performance muscle relaxation device. Unlike a regular massager that simply taps the surface, it delivers vibrational energy deep into the skin, apparently. It’s used before physical therapy, and when they applied it to my lower back and pelvis, the stiffness really improved. When it was at its worst, I even had a heavy, weighted feeling. As I continued treatment, I could feel my overall condition improving, and I even started thinking that I should have come in for treatment sooner. They also gave me a stretching pamphlet with exercises I could follow on my own at home, so I’ve been following along. (They’re related to the knees, but still.) It would be nice if I could take care of my knee health in advance too, haha. I plan to keep going regularly until the stiffness in my lower back and pelvis is completely gone. As the stiffness has improved a lot, I’ve also been able to concentrate better at work. I even find myself looking forward to Mondays and Wednesdays, the days I get treatment, without realizing it, you know? Haha

I’ve always liked exercising, so I had been going to the gym for quite a long time. Since it was summer and hot, I was working out at the gym for a long time, and while increasing the dumbbell weight, I started having pain in my right elbow. After a few days, the symptoms got worse, so I was referred to Suwon Goryeo Bone Orthopedic Clinic. I made an appointment by phone, and everything went smoothly without much inconvenience. I brought my ID on the day of my visit, and I was glad that the registration was quick. The waiting area felt comfortable, and I was also happy that the waiting time wasn’t very long. The doctor in charge examined me very carefully and thoroughly. After going through the tests, it turned out that treatment was needed, and everything was handled smoothly overall, which was really convenient time-wise. If you keep getting treatment, you’ll get better. I like it, doctor.

I twisted my back and was in a lot of pain. With nerve blocks, physical therapy, and service, manual therapy was so good that I completely recovered. It was amazing. This was the first time I received this kind of treatment. The best! Recovery time was one week.

I came in because my shoulder was hurting and was diagnosed with frozen shoulder. After consistent treatment, I’ve improved a lot now.

The hospital just opened recently, so the facilities are clean and the environment is nice. The doctors are especially kind, and they provide great care.

I had back pain and went for a consultation, and I had a great experience with physical therapy.

There was no over-treatment, and I appreciated the detailed explanation.

Thank you for the clean facilities at the hospital and for the thoughtful physical therapy.

The hospital is clean, the atmosphere is nice, the nurses are friendly, and the treatment is good.
