Book Intro

Secret of Orthopedics That Require Surgery 

 

How can we deal with debilitating pain in the shoulders, hips, and knees? The answer that the author gives, being indignant against overtreatment is simple: “patients themselves can repeatedly tap, press, and stretch, until the pain is relieved.”

 

Dr. Hwang Yun-Kweon, the author of <Secret of Orthopedics That Require Surgery>, has run an orthopedic hospital in Busan for 21 years. He stresses in this book that “the basis of medical practice is sincere treatment” and criticizes doctors’ attitudes that overtreat or recommend unnecessary surgery. In addition, he describes in detail why a patient comes to suffer from muscle or joint pain, and reveals how patients can deal with such pain by themselves.

 

Part 1 describes why pain occurs in the hip, knees, and shoulders. In addition, treatment methods that temporarily relieve pain caused by excessive surgery or anesthesia are criticized, and a fundamental treatment method is suggested instead. “In order to mitigate and treat pain, you can press or tap muscles around the area to soften and strengthen muscular power.” Patients themselves need to keep massaging and exercising muscles to remove pain.

 

Part 2 suggests ways to resolve abnormal symptoms and pain in our bodies: tap or press a painful area or practice good posture by stretching the body. Here are some examples. In the section “Questions and Answers about Headaches,” the causes and solutions are provided in detail. In general, people think that a headache comes from the brain or blood vessels. However, headaches often occur by keeping your head lowered for too long, which causes the muscles in the back of your neck and head to tense up. In this case, the symptoms can be relieved by tapping or stretching the muscles in the back of your neck.

 

The secret of orthopedics revealed by an orthopedist

Part 3 discusses wrong treatments given by unconscientious orthopedists, and patient symptoms that are not easily healed, even by expensive treatments. Criticizing doctors who start with an MRI scan when a patient talks about their symptoms, or doctors who insist patients with no fracture take an X-ray, the author emphasizes the problem of overtreatment once again.
