Orthopedics in Hayang, Gyeongsan-si, Korea

I received treatment about five or six times for my stiff neck, and I liked it so much that I came back to have my lower back treated as well. I also appreciated the doctor’s detailed explanations about rehabilitation and the nurses’ kind guidance. I’m going to try manual therapy, and if I’m happy with it too, I’ll post another review.

My knee suddenly started hurting, and since it was a newly opened clinic, I wasn't really keen on going there. However, other clinics required appointments and I was in too much pain, so I visited. They took X-rays, examined me, and I received regenerative injections along with physical therapy. The pain disappeared after the injections, and as long as I don’t overdo it, I can manage for a few days. The doctor said I can get the injections every day, so I can just come for treatment whenever I have time. There's one doctor who attended to me along with two nurses and two physical therapists; they were all friendly and nice. When I first visited, after the examination, they gave me small wet wipes, which are essential for Koreans, and a drink since they had just opened. The wet wipes are only given on the first visit, but the drinks are provided every time I go. I like the vitamin drink!

Both doctors and all the staff were very friendly, and I particularly appreciated that among the three physical therapists for manual treatment, while I couldn’t choose one, it was nice that the treatment methods varied and I received care from different therapists. For hydrotherapy, the option was available if the patient wanted it. The parking lot is conveniently located within the building, and it’s also close to a bus stop for public transportation. The prices for flu shots and various vaccinations didn’t seem too high, and I noticed there were many patients coming in regularly for knee injections. However, it was a bit of a hassle that there was no MRI machine on-site, so I had to go to a connected radiology department for the scan and then return to the orthopedic department for the consultation. Despite the number of patients, the wait time wasn’t too long.
