The Department of Vertebrology is a leading clinic in the training of specialists in the treatment of spinal pathologies, not only in Ukraine but also in the global medical community. Founded in 1965, this clinic has become a hub of innovation and cutting-edge advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with spinal disorders. The contribution of the department's doctors and researchers to the improvement of surgical techniques, the implementation of new minimally invasive treatment methods, and the development of effective spinal stabilisation systems has significantly influenced global standards in the treatment of musculoskeletal pathologies. The department admits the most complex patients from all over Ukraine and other countries.<\/p>\n

Main areas of activity of the Department of Vertebrology<\/h2>\n

Conservative treatment<\/h3>\n

The main methods of conservative treatment in the Department of Vertebrology include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pharmacotherapy,<\/strong> which involves the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, corticosteroids, as well as medications to improve the trophism of nerve tissues.<\/li>\n
  2. Physiotherapy:<\/strong> electrophoresis, laser therapy, and magnetotherapy to stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce pain.<\/li>\n
  3. Therapeutic exercise<\/strong> focusing on strengthening the muscles supporting the spine and correcting posture.<\/li>\n
  4. Massage and reflexotherapy<\/strong> to improve blood circulation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Surgical treatment<\/h3>\n

    Surgical intervention is performed when conservative treatment proves ineffective or when a patient has conditions that require urgent surgical care. All types of spinal surgery are performed at the department, including:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Microdiscectomy<\/strong> \u2013 removal of part of the intervertebral disc to reduce compression of nerve structures.<\/li>\n
    2. Endoscopic surgery<\/strong> \u2013 minimally invasive techniques used to correct spinal disorders, including the removal of disc herniations.<\/li>\n
    3. Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty<\/strong> \u2013 injection of special materials to stabilise vertebrae in cases of compression fractures.<\/li>\n
    4. Spondylodesis<\/strong> \u2013 stabilisation of spinal segments using fixation systems (including pedicle screws and interbody cages).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      We provide conservative and surgical care for patients with the following diseases or injuries:\n<\/p><\/div>\n
