A guide to pain by body area, organized by Jeju Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic based on clinical examination
In Jeju, knees are injured more often on the way down than on the way up. Where it hurts and since when is the first question.
On Jeju's many stone paths, the ankle is the body part most often injured—and most often brushed off as 'fine'.
Nine out of ten people with back pain get better without surgery. What matters is not missing the tenth.
If your neck hurts and your arm tingles, look to the neck first; if only the shoulder hurts, look to the shoulder. That is the order.
Frozen shoulder and rotator cuff tears have similar symptoms but different treatments. Distinguishing them with ultrasound comes first.
A true hip joint problem shows up in the groin. Pain at the side or back of the buttock often has a different cause.
Hand numbness can come from the wrist, the neck, or the elbow. Which fingers tingle tells us the answer.
You do not need to play tennis to get tennis elbow. Any hand that grips repeatedly is at risk.
Jeju Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic is located on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Body Building at 90 Yeonbuk-ro, Jeju-si, with a second parking lot, and is open until 8 p.m. on weekdays so you can be seen for pain after work.
