Orthopedic Clinic near Euljiro and City Hall for English Speakers
Relief Orthopedics is a 2-minute walk from Euljiro 1-ga Station Exit 3 and one stop from City Hall Station on Line 2. Office workers in the Euljiro, City Hall and Myeong-dong business district can see an English-speaking orthopedic doctor for neck, back, shoulder and wrist pain without leaving downtown.
Why patients from Euljiro & City Hall choose Relief Orthopedics
The office towers around Euljiro and City Hall house banks, embassies, law firms and global companies, and many of our patients work in them. The problems we see most are linked to long hours at a desk: neck and upper back stiffness, shoulder pain, tension headaches from the neck, lower back pain, and wrist or thumb pain from keyboards and phones. Many patients come on a lunch break or after work, which is why we are open until 7:30 pm on weekdays.
Our two board-certified orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Sungbae Kim and Dr. Hoeyoung Kwon, focus on getting the diagnosis right first, using ultrasound and X-ray in the clinic, and then treating without surgery whenever possible. Treatments include ultrasound- and C-arm-guided injections, prolotherapy, PRP, shockwave therapy and physical therapy.
