Neurology/Neurosurgery in Jeonju Pyeonghwa-dong, Korea

I went in for a headache, and the doctor was very kind. The facilities are very clean.

My shoulder hurt so much that even putting on clothes was painful, and I couldn't stretch my arms. While working, I struggled to move my arms, which caused a lot of issues. I thought it might get better, but it didn't. I went to an orthopedic clinic and was told I had a muscle injury, so I got an injection and physical therapy, but it didn't improve. Then I went to a pain clinic, where they diagnosed me with frozen shoulder and gave me another injection, but that also didn't work. Out of desperation, I visited a traditional medicine clinic, and they said my muscles were fatigued. I received acupuncture and cupping therapy and did physical therapy for almost 50 days, but there was no improvement... 😢. I had no choice but to visit another orthopedic clinic. They did an ultrasound and said there were calcium deposits that needed to be broken up with shockwave therapy. I underwent shockwave therapy for almost two months, costing 70,000 won each time, but it had no effect either. However, my brother mentioned that Jeonju Ajung Purum Neurosurgery Clinic was effective, so I made time to come here. When I arrived at the clinic, there were a lot of patients waiting, which made me hopeful for my appointment. Dr. Park Cheol-hyung looked at the images and said I had inflammation. He gave me an injection and acupuncture (not the kind from the traditional clinic) in several spots, followed by physical therapy. Miraculously, I'm no longer in pain. I've been coming down for about three days now, only getting acupuncture and physical therapy, and I'm so happy that there's no pain. Thank you so much to Dr. Park Cheol-hyung, the nurses, and the physical therapists.

This is a neurology hospital in Eco City, which was built on the former site of the 35th Army Division in Jeonju. Parking is inconvenient, so don’t park in the underground parking lot. There’s a paid parking lot outside. If you tell the nurse when you’re leaving the hospital, they’ll validate one hour of parking. My mother developed Parkinson’s disease, and although we’ve been to several hospitals, the doctor here examines her very carefully and does a thorough job. There’s also an E-Mart nearby. Because of her Parkinson’s, she takes medication as many as five times a day. There are a lot of patients on Mondays. Try to avoid going on Mondays. Also, they only have morning appointments on Wednesdays, so avoid Wednesdays too. Fortunately, they’re open on Saturday mornings. And the elevators are slow.
