Cabinet
Usually, a consultation with a physiotherapist is carried out after referral by a doctor of another specialty, depending on the specific condition – neurologist, ENT specialist, orthopedist-traumatologist, internist, general practitioner, etc., who have recommended physical and rehabilitation medicine as a suitable therapy for the health problem.
The clinical examination in the physiotherapy office aims to determine the extent of the problem, the stage of its development, and when, how, and with what procedures the course of recovery of health and physical condition can begin. The selection and combination of physical
factors that will lead to a positive therapeutic effect are determined by the doctor. The procedures themselves are performed by physiotherapists.
The physiotherapists at Medcross Medical Center can perform certain procedures independently, without referral from a doctor, such as therapeutic exercises and various types and durations of therapeutic massages.
