Rating of the best orthopedic clinics in St. Petersburg in 2022

Throughout the entire period of the existence of mankind, people have constantly faced problems associated with violations of the normal functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Since the joints, muscles and ligaments of a person experience a certain load from birth, sooner or later people begin to experience problems when moving.

There are also many cases of defects in the musculoskeletal system, starting from the period of intrauterine development, and ending with injuries and injuries received in childhood, adolescence and adulthood.

Any diseases associated with mobility disorders of various etiologies are dealt with by a narrow orthopedic doctor. First of all, he specializes in eliminating problems in the spinal column and joints. Also, this doctor treats diseases of cartilage and muscle tissue. Modern orthopedics is classified into areas: functional, sports, clinical and rehabilitation. Orthopedists are for adults and children.

In this article, we will learn how to choose the best orthopedic clinic in order to get professional help and not make mistakes when choosing, and what to look for on the first visit, as well as find out what types and types of treatment for orthopedic problems are, rank the best orthopedic centers according to patients in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region.

How to choose an orthopedic clinic

There are two types of orthopedic medical institutions in Russia: public and private. The former, as a rule, have budgetary funding and work on compulsory medical insurance, the latter - exclusively for money. When choosing an institution, we recommend focusing not on the conditions for the provision of services, but on their quality, which consists of the following selection criteria:

1. Technical equipment, used equipment. Since accurate diagnosis is extremely important in orthopedics, high-tech devices and installations are required for its implementation. Indeed, not only the success of treatment, but also the speed of recovery of the patient, and the possibility of preventing the occurrence of undesirable consequences depend on the correctness of the diagnosis. Equally important is the availability of high-quality materials used for fixing limbs in a stationary state, dressings, etc.In a serious institution, great attention is paid to the purchase of medical equipment from the best manufacturers with a large set of features and advanced functionality. Even large government centers tend to purchase highly efficient diagnostic equipment.
2. Qualification level, seniority and work experience of specialists. The more certified doctors with extensive experience in the medical institution, the more difficult and controversial cases they “passed” through themselves. In orthopedics, especially for children, it is important to detect a defect in time and not miss the time to eliminate it in order to prevent serious consequences. That is why the diagnosis of diseases in the early stages allows you to cure them completely, or minimize possible complications. A qualified doctor can quickly diagnose and prescribe adequate therapy. At the first visit, you should pay attention to the doctor's work experience in the specialty, the time he took the last refresher courses, the availability of diplomas and other awards for high achievements. A good sign is that a specialist has scientific articles and dissertations, which indicates that he seeks to improve his level of knowledge and follows the latest achievements of domestic and European medicine. Most often, such doctors work in private clinics, since such medical institutions do their best to retain a specialist, offering him decent wages and encouraging financial and scientific developments.
3. The quality and quantity of reviews. This is another of the most important criteria that shows the satisfaction of patients with the work of physicians. The best medical institutions have a large number of positive reviews and thanks from visitors.It is worth paying attention to reviews posted on third-party resources (not on the official website of the company), as well as those that are written in detail and reasonably, indicating details that outsiders cannot know. Another source of information about the medical center is the advice and recommendations of friends and relatives. Since they are interested in recommending a clinic that will help you in the situation that has arisen, their opinion should not be ignored, also considering that some establishments are able to go to any lengths in order to attract customers (up to creating "fake" reviews ).

In order not to have orthopedic problems, and in case of their occurrence, to deal with them quickly, we advise:

1. Observe the regime of work and rest, do not apply excessive loads during physical exercises and sports, lead a healthy lifestyle and apply the principles of proper nutrition.
2. When the first symptoms appear, immediately seek help, since orthopedic diseases are characterized by a latent course, and when the first unpleasant symptoms appear, the patient's condition may already be severely neglected.
3. Constantly monitor the development of the musculoskeletal system and newborns and infants, and if there is the slightest suspicion of health problems, seek advice from specialists.
4. Before the first visit, collect as much information as possible about the medical center in open sources of information (on the official website, in the help desk, etc.). You need to find out not only the list of services provided, but also how to get to the hospital, its opening hours and price list.
5. When in doubt about the choice between several clinics, preference should be given to the one whose staff constantly strives to improve their level of knowledge, participates in scientific research and follows the latest achievements in the field of medicine.

Conclusion

Despite the large selection of orthopedic clinics, it is not always possible to find an institution that will help to cope with the problem quickly and without complications. This is due to the fact that recently there has been competition in the field of medicine, which is why each medical institution seeks to attract as many customers as possible, while focusing not on the quality of the services provided, but on advertising. Thus, giving in to promises to cope with any problem, including one that other clinics have not coped with, the patient comes to a dubious institution and does not receive the result that should have been obtained.

We recommend, first of all, to focus on real reviews of patients who received assistance in the medical institution in question, as well as on the opinion of relatives and relatives. It would not be superfluous to study the relevant thematic forums, where people impartially share their opinions about the treatment received.

We hope that our article will help you make the right choice.
