Orthopedic Consultation
EXAMINATIONS, HYALURONIC ACID AND PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) INJECTIONS, BLOCKS AND ASPIRATIONS
An orthopedic consultation is the first step toward effectively managing your diagnosis and relieving pain.
Our orthopedic specialist performs both initial and follow-up consultations, reviews your medical documentation, provides expert advice, and outlines treatment options. The physician will also offer recommendations and clear instructions tailored to your condition.
The consultation begins with a thorough medical history, a review of existing diagnostic findings, and a discussion regarding the patient's current pain and overall condition.
The orthopedic specialist then performs a targeted physical examination based on the presenting condition and conducts a series of tests to assess the overall status of the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones.
Following a comprehensive examination, the orthopedic specialist provides a diagnosis, medical opinion, and official report, which serve as the foundation for initiating a treatment and rehabilitation plan.
If necessary, the orthopedic specialist may recommend additional diagnostic procedures to obtain a more comprehensive and accurate clinical picture.
They may also perform therapeutic procedures such as joint injections (blocks), aspirations, hyaluronic acid applications, or suggest Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy—all of which can be performed at our clinic.
