About Our Clinic
UNIKA MEDICAL CENTRE IS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CLINIC FOCUSED ON ASSESSMENT, DIAGNOSIS, AND MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC PAIN, SPINAL AND MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS AND SPORT INJURIES
Who we are
“Unika,” which means “Unique” in Esperanto, employs a distinctive approach to address spinal and musculoskeletal health conditions. Our primary emphasis lies in achieving precise diagnoses of the underlying anatomical causes of pain and disability. We accomplish this through a comprehensive methodology, which includes:
1. Computed Data Collection and Analysis: We utilize cutting-edge technology for gathering and analyzing data, ensuring accuracy and thoroughness.
2. Validated Physical and Self-Reporting Health Assessment Tests: Our approach incorporates well-established physical tests and self-reporting assessments, recognized for their reliability.
3. Detailed Interviews: We conduct in-depth interviews with our patients to comprehensively understand their medical history and symptoms.
4. Meticulous Physical Examination: Our highly skilled medical professionals perform thorough physical examinations, leaving no stone unturned in the quest for an accurate diagnosis.
5. Advanced Imaging: We employ state-of-the-art imaging techniques to correlate symptoms with objective data.
Our unique methodology combines these elements to enhance diagnostic precision and deliver an individualized treatment approach for each patient.
Methods
While there are countless methods to alleviate pain, most successful ones are based on the precision of diagnosis and focused methods amplified by patient engagement and commitment. We do not implement nerve blocks and opioids that give a false short-term impression of pain relief. Instead, we are offering a plan of care in which specific tools are packaged, the goals outlined, and tangible outcomes expected.
We apply image-guided minimally-invasive approaches and regenerative biologic solutions to ease symptoms and restore function.
Specialization
We are delighted to offer consultative services for individuals facing spinal and musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those that have gone undiagnosed or have been misdiagnosed elsewhere. Our step-by-step, multifaceted approach has proven highly effective in diagnosing and managing complex problems. Many patients turn to our clinic after conventional standard approaches have yielded unsatisfactory results.
At Unika, we refrain from endorsing vague “diagnoses” such as non-specific low back pain or chronic sprain and strain, which are often mere pseudoscientific terms that reflect a lack of understanding on the part of those who use them. Instead, we are committed to providing accurate and precise diagnoses based on thorough assessments and advanced diagnostic techniques.
We actively collaborate with other specialized clinics, including rehabilitation centers, neurological surgeons, radiology departments, and research facilities. This collaborative effort ensures that our patients receive comprehensive care and access to the most up-to-date treatment options available.
