Dr. Yoon-Jong Choi
Board-certified orthopedic surgeon · Director
Hello, **I am Dr. Yoon-Jong Choi, Director of Seoul One Hospital.** Shoulder pain can make even ordinary movements, like putting on clothes or washing your hair, difficult. **Although shoulder pain can feel similar, the treatment differs depending on the cause—whether it's a rotator cuff tear, frozen shoulder, calcific tendinitis, or another condition.** By clearly diagnosing the cause of pain, **I explain things at a level patients can understand so they can follow the treatment process, and I carefully cover points patients may wonder about along with precautions for daily life, helping them recover and return to everyday activities.**
