더본마취통증의학과의원 (Deobon Anesthesia and Pain Medicine Clinic)
더본마취통증의학과의원 (Deobon Anesthesia and Pain Medicine Clinic) had 351 Naver reviews, 263 blog reviews, and 56 Kakao reviews by platform. The provided data does not include a rating or the number of orthopedic specialists under Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service criteria. Because the institution is an anesthesia and pain medicine clinic, do not assume that you will be seen by an orthopedic specialist; it is better to ask first about the department and whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy is provided. Reviews describe an experience in which injection treatment and shockwave therapy were received together during treatment for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, but one person’s experience does not guarantee the same result for another patient.
“As I received treatment, the pain gradually decreased and movement became much more comfortable. In a recent test, the doctor also said the calcification was smaller than before.”
“The doctor explained things well and was kind. I thought the cost was high for the shockwave treatment time, but it can be processed through private health insurance, and it seemed to have an effect on the day I received treatment.”
The address is 인천 서해구 가정로 451, Bellami Centum City 4th floor, rooms 448–454, near Gajeong Station Exit 6; the phone number is 032-561-8136. The provided hours are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 09:00–19:00. Lunch hours and whether it is open on other days are not in the data, so confirm by phone.

According to reference data, extracorporeal shockwave therapy costs 50,000–150,000 KRW per session and usually requires 3–5 sessions, but the actual price and number of treatments must be confirmed after a consultation. Coverage may be non-reimbursed except for certain conditions such as plantar fasciitis and calcific tendinitis, so ask about both coverage eligibility and the per-session cost.

검단본정형외과의원 (Geomdanbon Orthopedic Clinic) had 595 Naver reviews, 913 blog reviews, 341 Kakao reviews, and 9 Google reviews, with a Kakao rating of 4.

Reviews note kindness from medical staff and treatment-room staff and say there was no overtreatment. These are individual experiences by the reviewers and do not guarantee treatment outcomes or costs. Whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy is offered and which department handles it are not in the collected data, so check directly before visiting.
“There was no overtreatment, and both the doctor and the physical therapy room were kind and helpful, so I am receiving treatment well.”
“Not only the doctor but also the nurses and physical therapists are all kind. It is far from my home, but for orthopedics I always come here.”

서구연세정형외과의원 (Seo-gu Yonsei Orthopedic Clinic) had 815 Naver reviews, 303 blog reviews, 1 Kakao review, and 5 Google reviews. Its Kakao rating is 3.6, and the provided data does not include the number of orthopedic specialists under Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service criteria. Most reviews are on Naver, and the recent review examples provided include short positive comments about consultation, staff service, and physical therapy. However, those reviews alone do not show whether the clinic provides extracorporeal shockwave therapy or what the treatment process is like. If you are looking specifically for extracorporeal shockwave therapy, call first to ask whether it is offered and which areas it can be used for.
“They consulted with me kindly.”
“The doctor is kind, and they do physical therapy well.”

청라우리정형외과의원 (Cheongna Uri Orthopedic Clinic)
청라우리정형외과의원 (Cheongna Uri Orthopedic Clinic) has 370 Naver reviews, 302 blog reviews, 1 Kakao review, and 10 Google reviews. Its Kakao rating is 3.9 and its Google rating is 4.6, showing a difference by platform. The Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service registration information lists 1 orthopedic specialist and orthopedics as a specialty. The registration information also confirms 1 cone-beam CT, 1 general X-ray unit, 1 ultrasound diagnostic device, and 1 bone density scanner. Having equipment does not mean that a specific test or treatment is necessary, and whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy is provided must be checked separately.
“The doctor is kind too, and the male physical therapist in particular listens well to small talk and seems to treat patients well.”
“A skilled orthopedic clinic! I slipped on an icy path last week and fell. I ended up getting a recommendation by asking around, and although it was a bit far, I was able to receive an accurate consultation.”
The second quotation is one visitor’s experience and does not indicate objective treatment outcomes. The address is 인천 서해구 크리스탈로74번길 31, World Plaza 2nd floor; the phone number is 032-777-7582.

Because the institution is a rehabilitation medicine clinic, if you are looking for care from an orthopedic specialist, check the department first. Reviews include experiences with back pain treatment, physical therapy, and thorough explanations, but whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy was used or is offered cannot be confirmed from the reviews provided alone.

Checklist for Choosing an Extracorporeal Shockwave Orthopedic Clinic
- Whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy is offered — First confirm whether the clinic provides treatment for the area and symptoms you are concerned about.
- Department and treating clinician — If you want orthopedic care, check the clinic’s department and whether it has an orthopedic specialist.
- Treatment target and necessity — Discuss whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy is appropriate based on the examination and what other options exist.
- Cost per session — The reference cost is 50,000–150,000 KRW per session, but the actual amount varies by clinic and treatment area, so ask in advance.
- National health insurance coverage — Coverage may apply only to certain conditions such as plantar fasciitis and calcific tendinitis, so check whether it applies to your diagnosis.
- Expected number of sessions — Reference information suggests usually 3–5 sessions, but individual plans may differ, so ask about the number and when reassessment will occur.
- Additional costs — Check whether there are separate costs for consultation, tests, physical therapy, etc., and which items are non-reimbursed.
- Pain and criteria for stopping treatment — Discuss whether the intensity can be adjusted or treatment stopped if pain becomes severe during the session.
- Reservations, parking, and hours — Confirm lunch hours, whether the clinic is open on your planned day, the booking method, and parking conditions by phone.
Warning Signs
- The clinic does not explain costs and coverage — Before treatment, clearly confirm the per-session cost and whether it is covered or non-reimbursed.
- The clinic fixes the number of sessions before diagnosis and treatment planning — Ask about the assessment of your condition, the need for treatment, and the reassessment plan.
- The clinic guarantees or exaggerates results — Visitor reviews are individual experiences and are not evidence that all patients will have the same outcome.
- The clinic avoids questions about pain, side effects, or alternatives — Discuss how discomfort during treatment will be handled and what other treatment options exist before deciding.
