Sports Medicine & Rehab Clinic

We provide comprehensive rehabilitation programs tailored to conditions such as spinal cord injuries, fractures, joint replacements, and sports injuries. Our aim is to help patients regain their independence and quality of life.

In my clinic all rehabilitation programs are performed by registered physiotherapists who execute the combined rehabilitation programs which the physiatrist after clinical examination prescribe in a warm and friendly environment. We offer all the latest and necessary rehabilitation equipments and a gym.

PRP therapy uses a patient’s own blood to produce a high concentration of platelets, which is then injected into an injured area to stimulate healing. This treatment is often used for joint pain, ligament injuries, and chronic tendon issues.

PRP is produced from a person's own blood. It is a concentration of one type of cell, known as platelets, which circulate through the blood and are critical for blood clotting. Platelets and the liquid plasma portion of the blood contain many factors that are essential for the cell recruitment, multiplication and specialization that are required for healing.

Platelet rich plasma can be injected and treat in to an injured area of bone or soft tissue, such as a tendon or ligament, muscle, arthrosis with very good results.

Another choice of intra articular injections for the treatment of osteoarthritis is the injections of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is produced by the body. It concentrates on the joints (as in other places), however, in people with osteoarthritis it breaks down, resulting in their pain and stiffness.

It is an alternative for those who are not relieved by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or who can not take them because of kidney or stomach problems. Laboratory and clinical studies suggest that hyaluronic acid can do much more than just lubricate the joint. Studies show that hyaluronic acid infusion inhibits prostaglandins and cytokines, which promote inflammation at the cellular level. It can also cause increased production of this important substance, which can in turn help maintain cartilage.

The beneficial effects of injections of hyaluronic acid last from 6 months until a year accordingly. After this time administration should be repeated.

It is the position of the American Association of Orthopaedic Medicine that prolotherapy is a safe efficacious therapy for the treatment of selected cases of low back pain and other chronic myofascial pain syndromes. This is based upon basic science data showing the effects of prolotherapy in animal models, clinical studies, a lengthy history of clinical use and efficacy, and increasingly widespread acceptance within the medical community.

While we recognize that further basic science and clinical studies need to be done and are currently in process, we believe that prolotherapy is a safe, cost effective and efficacious therapy that can provide pain relief and return of function for many patients.

Lumbar Spine problems, Lumbago (pain at the lumbar spine area), is a seldom used term to mean mild to severe low back pain. The pain can be acute or chronic and affects young and old people. There are many things that cause low back pain or lumbago.

Our clinic offers stem cell therapy derived from a patient's own adipose tissue or bone marrow. Stem cell therapy is used to repair damaged tissues, cartilage, and other musculoskeletal issues.

Our physical therapy programs focus on improving movement, reducing pain, and enhancing quality of life. We develop individualized treatment plans to restore physical function and prevent future injuries.
