Frequently asked questions
Do I always need surgery for joint pain?
No. Many cases of knee, hip, shoulder or ankle pain can be managed first with conservative options. Surgery is considered only when the evaluation shows it is the best option for your case.
Can I have my consultation in English?
Please request an English-language consultation when you contact the clinic. The team will confirm availability before you book.
What does the first consultation include?
A clinical history, physical examination and review of any studies you bring (X-rays, MRI). From there, a treatment plan is explained to you.
Is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) right for me?
PRP may be an option in some cases. Whether it is appropriate depends on a medical evaluation; it is not indicated for every patient.
