Pain stories from the clinical perspective of Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic
Hello, this is Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic.
The long-awaited good news has arrived from Aichi-Nagoya.
The Korean men's national basketball team defeated Japan 67-57 in the final of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games and took home the gold medal.
Coming 12 years after the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, this return to the top of the podium made it an even more precious moment.
Our heartfelt congratulations to the Korean men's national basketball team on their gold medal.
Dr. Sang-beom Kim of Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic has served as team physician for the national basketball team and spent time working alongside these players.
He checked on the players' physical condition at training camp and monitored their fitness and injuries in the exam room,
sharing moments with them so they could perform at their best on the court.
That is why this gold medal news feels a little more special to us.
This result came from the effort and passion of players who kept training in their own roles over a long time, and we send a big round of applause to every player and staff member of the Korean national basketball team.
Looking back at our time with the national team, there are faces that are even more welcome to see again now.
From moments shared at training camp to the photos we took with the players.
At the time, these were ordinary moments in the process of preparing for one game or one training session, but now, hearing the news of a gold medal, they take on a slightly different meaning.
Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic joins in celebrating the way the time each player has invested in their own position led to such a great result at this Asian Games.
For an athlete, the body is the essential foundation on which performance is built.
But when pain appears, checking only the painful area is not always enough.
Which movements cause discomfort, when the pain started, how it affects exercise and daily life,
and what level of activity you need to return to: these and other factors need to be considered together.
This perspective is not something only national team athletes need.
Whether you enjoy running, golf, tennis, or basketball as a hobby, have developed pain during exercise,
or feel discomfort in your neck, back, or joints in daily life, you may benefit from having your current condition assessed in light of your lifestyle and activity level.
For the local residents who visit our Goyang orthopedic clinic, too, rather than drawing a line between athletes and everyone else and emphasizing what makes athletes special, we believe what matters is assessing each person's condition with their own lifestyle and activity goals in mind.
Because of the name ‘Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic,’ some people may wonder whether only athletes come here.
Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic is not a medical institution reserved for national team athletes.
From those who enjoy sports to those who have developed discomfort while working or raising children,
general patients who come to our Goyang orthopedic clinic with musculoskeletal symptoms in the neck, back, shoulders, knees, or elsewhere can all receive care here.
What matters is not that everyone receives exactly the same treatment as a national team athlete,
but that we look at each person's current symptoms, movement, and living environment and consider the direction of care that fits their individual condition.
For an athlete, getting back on the court can be one goal,
while for someone else, returning to a commute, a workout, or a daily routine that pain had made difficult can be the goal that matters most.
The goals of those who visit our Goyang orthopedic clinic can be just as varied.
Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic will look not only at your current discomfort but also at the journey back to your daily life and activities.
Once again, our heartfelt congratulations to the Korean men's national basketball team on winning the gold medal at the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. 🥇
We send a big round of applause to the players who created this wonderful moment through years of sweat and hard work.
Goyang Team Doctor Orthopedic Clinic will keep cheering for the players to stay injury-free and healthy as they shine on the court.
