Symptoms of orthopedic conditions

Common symptoms of orthopedic conditions include localized pains at the shoulder, elbow, wrist, back, hip, or knee, often signaling a problem in the osteoarticular structure.

The consultation and treatment process at Centrokinetic Brasov includes the following stages:

Initial consultation

At the first meeting, the orthopedic doctor will evaluate the patient to establish a diagnosis. If necessary, additional investigations such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), musculoskeletal ultrasounds, or laboratory tests may be requested. In more complex cases, surgical solutions followed by rehabilitation programs and specialized consultancy may be proposed. A follow-up consultation will be scheduled after recovery or surgical intervention.

Additional investigations

For a detailed evaluation, investigations such as musculoskeletal ultrasounds or osteoarticular MRIs, performed with state-of-the-art equipment by radiology specialists, may be recommended.

Joint injections

To improve joint mobility, the doctor may suggest injections with anti-inflammatory agents or corticosteroids, which help reduce inflammation and pain. These may be indicated for conditions such as osteoarthritis, shoulder periarthritis, trigger finger, mallet finger, epicondylitis, vertebral discopathies, plantar fasciitis, De Quervain's tenosynovitis, trochanteric bursitis, rotator cuff tendinopathy, calcific tendinopathy of the supraspinatus muscle, and adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.

Injections with viscoelastic solutions or hyaluronic acid are recommended for protecting and nourishing the articular cartilage, being useful in the postoperative period after knee surgery or in advanced cases of osteoarthritis.

Platelet-rich plasma injections represent an advanced biological therapy, using the patient's venous blood, and are recommended post-knee or shoulder surgery, for early-stage chondromalacia or chronic tendinopathies.

Sanakin injections, using autologous cytokine-rich serum (ACRS) from the patient's blood, are indicated for the treatment of plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, epicondylitis, Haglund's disease, iliotibial band syndrome, posterior tibial muscle tendinopathy, short peroneal muscle tendinopathy, and chronic shoulder bursitis.

Specific physiotherapy

Following the initial diagnosis and any necessary interventions, the orthopedic doctor will recommend a personalized physiotherapy program, aimed at restoring functionality and mobility. The physiotherapy team at Centrokinetic Brasov is highly specialized in recovery and rehabilitation techniques, ensuring a quick return to daily activities.
