Pain/Rehabilitation in Jeonmin-dong, Daejeon, Korea

I went in with shoulder pain, and the doctor explained things kindly. The nurses are also very friendly, and the hospital is spacious and nice.

I went to a pain clinic because I wasn't seeing any improvement in my neck disc pain and arm numbness after seeing an orthopedic doctor. The physician explained everything very clearly, and I received injection therapy and physical therapy, which was a bit different from the orthopedic approach — I'm hoping it'll be effective. For physical therapy, I had hot packs followed by electrical therapy and traction with the orthopedic clinic, but at the pain clinic, the electrical therapy was similar, although I'm not sure what they called it, and I also had a treatment where I lay down and got tapped. There was also a treatment that felt like a full-body massage with a machine tapping me, and the physical therapist helped loosen my neck and shoulder muscles. During my initial consultation, they did an X-ray just like at the orthopedic clinic, and the treatment cost at the pain clinic, including the injection therapy, was about 70,000 won, which is more than the approximately 15,000 won I paid at the orthopedic clinic. I was prescribed a week's worth of medication, and this time I'm really hoping the pain treatment will be effective.
