Why patients from Seoul Station & Namdaemun choose Relief Orthopedics
Seoul Station is the arrival point for KTX trains and the Airport Railroad (AREX), so many of our patients from this area are travelers who have just carried heavy luggage, sat on a long flight, or walked for hours around Namdaemun Market. Typical problems include acute back pain, ankle sprains, knee pain on stairs and flare-ups of chronic conditions while away from home. Residents of Seoul Station's newer apartment and office developments also visit for ongoing joint and spine care.
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.
