Why patients from Yongsan choose Relief Orthopedics
Yongsan includes Huam-dong, Haebangchon, Ichon-dong and the new developments around Yongsan Station, with a large population of foreign residents, Japanese families in Ichon and professionals in the Yongsan business district. We commonly see neck and back pain, knee pain, shoulder injuries and running injuries from the Han River paths and Yongsan Family Park.
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.
