Neurology/Neurosurgery in Songdo-dong, Incheon, Korea

It's a neurosurgery clinic, but they also provide internal medicine consultations~ It's a well-respected hospital in the area.

I went to the hospital because my elbow was hurting. There weren't any orthopedic or rehabilitation clinics nearby, but a new rehabilitation clinic just opened, so I decided to visit. After taking an X-ray and some questions, I was diagnosed with tennis elbow. The doctor mentioned that they don’t use steroids due to side effects, and I received four muscle injections, shockwave therapy, and physical therapy. This was my first time with shockwave therapy, and it was interesting how the places that hurt really felt the shock, while areas that didn’t hurt felt completely fine. I've been to the clinic about three times so far, once a week, but I'm still experiencing pain... I'm debating whether I should continue the treatments. The doctor and the nurses are friendly.

I recently visited because my lower back pain became severe. The clinic is small, so it was easy to get an appointment, and the registration process was relatively quick. Since I went during the day on a weekday, the waiting time wasn't long, and I was able to see the doctor sooner than I expected. In the consultation room, they asked detailed questions about the painful area and symptoms, and they thoroughly checked my usual lifestyle and what triggered the pain. After taking an X-ray, they explained the results to me in a way that was easy to understand rather than using complicated medical terms, which I appreciated. Instead of pushing for surgery right away, they suggested monitoring my condition with non-surgical options like physical therapy and injections, which made me feel relieved. It was convenient that the physical therapy room was also in the same clinic, so I could start treatment right after the consultation. After several sessions, I felt my pain gradually easing, and they showed me which movements to avoid and some stretching techniques. Overall, it doesn't have the flashy or grand feel of a big hospital, but I got the impression that it's solid for pain management and basic neurological and musculoskeletal treatment.
