Hi folks,

I've been plagued with one foot problem after another, but to keep it simple, its Achilles Tendinitis.

I'm hoping to join a big hike in the Himalaya in September but now it looks like I may have to throw in the towel.

Does anyone know of a foot specialist that can really get at the root of this type of problem? Not just someone offering a cortisone shot would be helpful.

I saw an earlier post, but just 1 name-Dr Oh in the Ortho clinic at Inha Hostpital in Incheon. I'm in Chuncheon, east of Seoul, so maybe someone in Seoul would be better.

Any help is MUCH APPRECIATED, THANK YOU!!!!

Aren't there any podiatrists in Korea? I really need a podiatrist. It seems that this specialty doesn't exist here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You should go to Yonsei University Severance Hospital International Clinic and ask for a referral.

That's what I do mostly.

Why not try a Chinese foot massage. Worked for my chronic feet pain.

Does anyone know of any foot specialists outside of Seoul? I live in Changwon, on the south coast so any in the Changwon/Busan area would be great, thanks.
