i live in a small city, and my fellow korean teachers had never even heard of the profession.
does anyone know of one in seoul? not for anything drastic, just the regular MOT you could expect back home.
thanks... |

As in chiropractors who specialize in the manipulation of the bones of the foot? I guess maybe this brand of quack alternative medicine has not made it to Korea... yet. If you're looking for faith-based medicine, versus actual evidence-based medicine, there are plenty of oriental doctors around who will wave a dead chicken over your feet or whatever. |

| There are quite a few chiropractors that have trained in the USor other western country. I go to Dr. Choi in Daejon who graduated from Palmer. He has told me that most chiros are in the Seoul area. He also told me that OM doctors do a 20 hour "chiro" type treatment workshop-so be careful who you let crack your back. |

Uhh, no. A chiropodist is also known as a podiatrist. A licensed medical doctor. While podiatrist is a more common term in North America, chiropodist is used more often in the United Kingdom. In both countries, the terms are synonymous.
To the OP, you might check with the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul
(http://english.samsunghospital.com) for a referral. |
