What is needed to visit the clinic?
Patients are seen at the arthroclinic by appointment. Recording is in progress by phone or via the form on the website.
What will you need for the treatment procedure?
For the treatment procedure, you may need a clean sheet or towel, replacement shoes (you can also purchase a disposable diaper and shoe covers).
What preliminary examinations are needed for the first appointment?
At your first appointment, you need to take all the studies that you already have on hand regarding your disease. Even if these studies are too old.
These can be x-rays, tomograms, ultrasound data, outpatient records, hospital discharge notes, test data.
X-rays for degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the joints and spine are considered fresh for 2 years.
If you have not yet undergone any tests, do not do them yourself (without a doctor’s recommendation). Otherwise, for example, you may take an X-ray of the wrong area or in the wrong projections that will be needed in the future for diagnosis and treatment. Then you will have to be examined again.
The need for additional studies will be determined at the initial medical consultation.

Do you already have a diagnosis?
We do not treat based on other people's diagnoses. Having someone else’s diagnosis does not at all replace the need for consultation. And this is not enough to start treatment.
For effective treatment in addition to the diagnosis, it is also necessary to understand the characteristics of your disease with this diagnosis. These features are not indicated in the diagnosis itself.
The consultation includes clinical diagnostics, diagnosis and clarification of the characteristics of your disease with this diagnosis. Only on the basis of all this is the question of the nature of further treatment decided.
If you came to us, then this alone indicates that you were not satisfied with the quality of medical care provided to you in other medical institutions. This means you realize that something needs to be changed in the approach to treating your disease. But to select effective changes in treatment measures, it is necessary to start again with diagnosis.
We do not question the competence and authority of the doctor who previously diagnosed your disease. But the diagnosis made by someone does not always turn out to be correct in the future.
And even a correct diagnosis in itself does not reveal all the nuances of your disease. And these nuances can only be determined after a thorough examination with us.
