Introducing extracorporeal shock wave therapy that alleviates knee pain.

I am one of the people who dislike going to the hospital.

I experienced knee pain during a hike a year ago and had to descend.

I should have gone to the hospital immediately, but I thought I would get better soon... and postponed the visit for almost a year. When I finally realized I couldn't wait any longer, I went to an orthopedic clinic near my company.

The doctor said that because there are many ligaments and muscles around the knee area, it is difficult to determine the exact cause of the pain.

He mentioned that there are many patients who visit with similar symptoms, and that they are treated under the classification of knee pain syndrome.

So, the recommended treatment was extracorporeal shock wave therapy.

 

When adjusting the intensity and applying ultrasound to the knee, shock waves are delivered to the actual inflamed area, causing pain, while areas without inflammation do not hurt regardless of how strong the intensity is.

 

The intensity was gradually increased to the 7th level, and as the pain disappeared during daily activities, I consulted with the doctor and stopped the treatment.

 

Since then, I believe I have seen better results by strengthening my muscles through walking and riding a bicycle on flat roads.

 

For those of you suffering from knee pain, I recommend discussing extracorporeal shock wave therapy with your doctor and considering trying it.

The treatment cost for non-covered services is about 100,000 won per session, including physical therapy, but it can be claimed through actual expense reimbursement.

 

The most highly recommended advice I can give is to go to the hospital immediately when you are sick.

Pay your health insurance premiums faithfully and do not make the mistake of neglecting your health like I did by not going to the hospital... TT

 

I hope my writing can be of help or hope to those experiencing similar symptoms.

Let's all stay healthy together...
