Podiatric Technician
CURE FOOT PAIN IN THE CLASSROOM. After diagnosis by a Sports Medicine Specialist, Dr. Kwak at Busan Paek Hospitals, (see forum posting) subway station #129, phone: 607-8133, I was introduced to a podiatric technician.
This guy came to my office at school, listened to my diagnosis/problems, recorded them on a medical chart, took an imprint of my foot in soft styrofoam, and will be making me custom shoe inserts for 22,000 won. If I want, his company makes custom shoes!! These shoes are built around a casting of your foot, itself. Cost: 220,000 won.
Look at: www.hanameditech.co.kr You can see the products at: www.sidas.com (add an "S", NOT sida.com!) you want Podiatech, not AIDS! In Korean: www.wooyun.com
To make an appointment, call Mr. Go Seung Gon (he understands and speaks limited English) HP: 011-9330-8946 email: [email protected] He will visit you and listen and take impressions. Your shoe insoles will be ready in a week. If he is prescribed by a doctor, then you are supposed to take them back to the doctor for approval. (but you don't need a prescription)
