Welcome for International Patients

At Nucellin Orthopedic Clinic (Yongsan, Seoul), we offer doctor-supervised Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) with clear English guidance for expats, travelers, and international patients. Led by Dr. Kim Hee-Jun (Yonsei University · Severance Hospital training), our team uses evidence-based protocols to reduce pain, speed healing, and help you return to work, sport, and travel—fast.

What Is Shockwave Therapy?

Shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves to injured tissues to stimulate blood flow, reduce pain, and trigger biological healing. ESWT is non-surgical, clinic-based, and typically requires no downtime, making it ideal for patients with limited time in Korea.

Conditions ESWT Can Help

• Shoulder: rotator cuff tendinopathy, calcific tendinitis, impingement
• Elbow: tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial)
• Wrist/Hand: De Quervain’s, chronic tendinopathy
• Knee: patellar tendinopathy, early degenerative pain, IT band syndrome
• Ankle/Foot: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, chronic ankle pain
• Other: myofascial trigger points, hamstring/gluteal tendinopathy

Suitability is confirmed after medical assessment; not all conditions require ESWT.
