Features of the Clinic
Center for Joint Treatment at Sarang Plus Hospital
This department of the clinic apply all the possibilities of modern therapies in joints diseases. Patients referred here are mostly with disorders such as: Degenerative arthritis, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Achillotendinitis, Fracture of the hip joint and Meniscus injury. Clinic uses intraoperative navigation systems, so doctors constantly monitor the surgical procedure. Technologies involved in treatment procedures are:
Robotic surgery
a minimally invasive operation that is performed with RoboDoc equipment. Before the surgery, specialists of Sarang Plas model the procedure, which allows them to accurately predict the results and avoid risks. After a robotic operation, patient does not experience severe pain and has a short rehabilitation phase.
Prolotherapy
Injection therapy, which involves administering a drug to the patient that enhances the regeneration of damaged tissues. This allows to remove inflammation and remove pain in chronic joint diseases. Duration of treatment is determined individually, most often patients are prescribed from 5 to 10 injections within this type of treatment.
Stem cell therapy
A safe method of treatment, in which there is no likelihood of allergies, because the patient's own stem cells are used. This makes it possible to repair damaged tissue sites – cartilage is regenerated by 70-80%. The procedure itself is not complex and time-consuming, which makes it more sparing.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy
A non-invasive treatment, the active force of which is a high-energy acoustic wave. This effect causes mechanical stress, due to which the metabolism in tissues is accelerated – reduces pain syndrome and stimulates bone growth.
Sarang Plus Spine Center
Doctors of the spine center specialize in both surgical operations and non-invasive treatment. For each patient, personalized therapy is selected, depending on the characteristics of his body and the nature of the disease.
Here, percutaneous epidural nerve plasty (PEN) is performed with a catheter, which resolve inflammation that cause severe pain. Patient can return to daily life a few hours after the procedure. It is used for stenosis of the spinal canal, hernia and chronic pain in the back.
For patients with various vertebral fractures, doctors perform vertebroplasty. This is the process of restoring the natural height of the vertebra with bone cement. The procedure is not a surgical intervention, the cement is injected with a needle under the control of the X-ray machine C-ARM. After vertebroplasty, the patient does not have scars and the person does not feel the need for a long rehabilitation.
Specialists in Sarang Plas have extensive experience in microsurgical operations to remove a herniated disc – the advantage of this type of procedure is the use of local anesthesia instead of the general one, absence of blood loss and postoperative pain. This department is popular among foreign patients who need following treatments:
- Sports injuries;
- Intervertebral hernias;
- Compression fracture of the spine;
- Stenosis of the spinal canal.
Sarang Plus Internal Medicine Center
Doctors of this department offer patients therapeutic treatment and prevention of diseases that do not require surgical intervention:
- Prevention of dementia;
- Prevention of stroke;
- Asthenic syndrome;
- Headache;
- Complications of diabetes mellitus;
- Etc.
Most often, foreigners receive approach for these medical assistance:
- Chelation – toxins and heavy metals from blood vessels, purification of veins and arteries.
- Photon therapy – Irradiation of blood with ultraviolet rays of spectrum C, which improves blood circulation, normalizes liver function, and accelerates the process of wound regeneration. Photon therapy is used as an additional to the main course of cancer treatment.
Sarang Plus Rehabilitation Center
Sarang Plus rehabilitologists have expertise in restoring the functions of the musculoskeletal system of patients who have congenital and acquired diseases, as well as various injuries and results of operations.
Here, the latest rehabilitation technologies are available, which allow a person to quickly return to a familiar life or to adapt to the new conditions as much as possible.
For patients who have degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the spine, a system of spinal decompression of the DRX is used in Sarang Plus. Here 3D NEWTON equipment is available, which is used to strengthen the spinal muscles.
To restore the knee, shoulder and elbow joints, Dr. Sarang Plus uses the latest CPM technique (Continuous Passive Motion).
To strengthen the shoulder joint, the exercise system BRS (Body Reflex Station) is used here, which is also used for leg balance – along with methods such as Reformer and NK Table.
