Patients' Journey: Testimonials and Gratitude
Ivanova Elena, Moscow
My husband went to the clinic with a herniated disc and protrusion in his lower back. Traditional treatments hadn't worked, but the results here were amazing. After just five days, my husband told me he finally got a good night's sleep. He now does morning exercises, and the prognosis is that his spine can be restored by following the recommendations and prevention. We are incredibly pleased with the outcome. It's a great clinic with competent doctors, fair prices, and a caring approach to patients.
A.P. Romanova, 48 years old, Korolev
God bless the doctors at this clinic! I suffered from debilitating back pain for a very long time, which significantly reduced my quality of life. I'd had countless procedures and consultations at different clinics, but it was here that I finally found relief. I no longer even think about the pain.
Evdokimova S.A., 56 years old, Moscow
I visited the clinic with severe lower back pain. For a week, every sudden movement caused agony, even making me dizzy. Pills and ointments didn't help at all. I could barely bend, and my lower spine felt completely stiff. Colleagues recommended this clinic's specialists. During my neurological exam, they clearly explained the reasons for my condition. It wasn't as hopeless as I thought: sacroiliitis and muscle-tonic syndrome. After a drug block, I woke up the next day with no pain! I had full range of motion. I completed a course of manual therapy, and now I feel like a new person, with lightness and newfound strength in my muscles. I am incredibly pleased with the results. Thank you so much!
Natalia Marchenko, 47 years old, Moscow
Indeed, manual therapy works wonders! I won't go into all the details, but my right hand simply stopped moving. It was agonizing to fasten buttons, and lifting my arm caused hellish pain. I waited for four months, hoping it would pass, but there was no change, and I'd wake up in pain every night. I went to another clinic, had an MRI, and received treatment, but found no relief. Then, I was advised to see an osteopath. The examination revealed scapular arthrosis. I started treatment, and they warned me it might be uncomfortable at first, but I was ready to endure anything if it meant getting help. I completed a course of 15 procedures, including manual physiotherapy and therapeutic injections. I felt the treatment's effects after just 7 or 8 sessions. Now, I do my exercises at home, sleep normally, and the pain is gone! I have full movement in my hand! Thank you very much!
Ignatov E. N., 38 years old, Elektrostal
I'm currently being treated at the Clinic for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery. I came in with a 7mm L5-S1 intervertebral hernia. After just the second treatment, I already felt significant relief. All the medications I used before only addressed the acute pain, but here, they're treating the actual root cause of my condition. If you're looking for a clinic for treatment, I highly recommend reaching out to them.
Respectfully yours, Olesya Smernitskaya.
Tomorrow I turn thirty, and I feel healthy and happy. It's hard to believe that just six months ago, my future seemed filled with pain and constant struggle. I'm incredibly grateful to all the staff at your medical center, the Clinic for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery. A special thank you to Dr. Zabelin, who performed my endoscopic discectomy flawlessly. You all handled everything so well and professionally that the entire experience, which I was so nervous about, felt effortless.
Yu. N. Proklova, 41 years old, Zhukovsk
The moment I first called the clinic, I immediately felt understood. My cervical spine was causing me a lot of pain. My very first meeting with the doctor put me at ease. After just one manual therapy session, I felt a significant relief in my cervical spine. I'll be happy to recommend this clinic to all my friends and acquaintances.
The Dolgikh Family, Yaroslavl
Our boundless gratitude goes out to your team for the medical assistance provided to our family. We are especially thankful to Evgeny Nikolaevich for promptly organizing the necessary examinations. Thanks to his high professionalism, organizational skills, and his sensitive, attentive attitude towards us, we were able to resolve several medical issues that concerned our family members during our short stay in Moscow. A deep bow to the staff of the Clinic for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery, who performed their daily duties related to our treatment with great responsibility, efficiency, and remarkable kindness.
Gots P. A., 36 years old, Moscow
My work and lifestyle are pretty sedentary, so my back often aches by the end of the day. A friend recommended this clinic, and after an MRI, I found out I had a hernia. I was really worried about surgery, but it turns out herniated discs don't always need it. I started regularly attending manual therapy sessions. I'm so glad I chose this clinic, and I'm very grateful to the qualified specialists!
Dulin S.I., Dolgoprudny
This clinic is excellent. Two years ago, I injured myself snowboarding (without a helmet) and had constant back pain, plus trouble chewing solid food. I tried several "sports" medicine centers in Moscow, but no one could help. I had many tests and bills for my insurance, but the pain persisted. However, the orthopedists and neurologists here worked wonders! Just 10 physiotherapy sessions were enough to get rid of all my discomfort. Now I can safely eat almost any meat, anywhere! Huge thanks to the clinic's specialists!
Lysenko I.N., 43 years old, Moscow
I came to the clinic seeking help for my cervical spine. I was diagnosed with osteochondrosis, and for a long time, I couldn't move my head normally without sharp pains. They prescribed a course of **manual therapy** and a **physio procedure for SMT**. After just a few sessions, I felt like a new person! It's incredible that I suffered for so long when they could help me in just a few days!
Igor Ivanovich, Omsk
I'm 60 years old and a master of sports in weightlifting. I'd never been sick before. A year ago, I had **heart surgery** to replace three vessels clogged with atherosclerosis (vessels for transplantation were taken from my legs). A month ago, after some emotional stress from talking with the police, I felt numbness in my face. Then, the entire left half of my face became paralyzed, the corner of my mouth drooped, my left eye watered, and it wouldn't close. I was in neurology for 10 days with a diagnosis of **post-ischemic neuropathy of the facial nerve** on the background of **hypertension**. There, an **ultrasound of the neck vessels** revealed a narrowing of the carotid artery on the left, and after discharge, I had a planned **endarterectomy** in the vascular department. The facial paralysis persisted, so I consulted a **physiotherapist** who performed a course of stimulation, after which ear sensitivity began to appear. Since the distortion remained, I contacted a specialist at the Clinic for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery by phone. The doctor came to my home, examined me, and prescribed **reflexology**, along with an **additional examination** that hadn't been done since the facial paralysis. As a result, I'm now receiving a course of **acupuncture treatment at home** and taking the prescribed medications after discharge. I'm looking forward to a positive result.
Chumakov I.O., 45 years old, Moscow
I was treated at this clinic in late 2011. An MRI revealed a large herniated disc at L5S1. The pain was incredible; I couldn't sleep at night, couldn't sit, and could barely walk. Before the MRI, there were misunderstandings with my diagnosis at another clinic—no one even sent me for an MRI, and I was treated without proper understanding. When it became unbearable, I finally got an MRI. I turned to this center because friends told me that the "Clinic for Minimally Invasive Neurosurgery" genuinely helps, they don't just go through the motions or try to deceive patients. I didn't want surgery, and I still don't. I feel really good now.
Olga, Moscow
I have a sedentary job. About a year ago, I started experiencing pain between my shoulder blades and in my right arm, shoulder, and neck. Before that, I only had headaches. An MRI of my neck showed a cyst on the second vertebral body. A month ago, my lower back began hurting after walking on a slippery road, and the pain started radiating down my leg. I had an MRI of my cervicothoracic spine, which revealed hydromyelia (syringomyelia) and disc protrusions with Schmorl's hernias. I called the clinic, and a doctor came to my home. The neurosurgeon explained that the hydromyelia was a congenital spinal cord feature, often discovered incidentally during scans. The doctor prescribed treatment tailored to my diagnosis and recommended further diagnostic tests I needed to complete. I received treatment at home because I lacked the time and energy to visit the clinic after work. I had gentle manual therapy and acupuncture. My neck and lower back felt much better, and my right leg stopped pulling. Now, I'm transitioning to independent exercises for my back and neck, as the doctor showed me. In two to three months, I plan to undergo a second course of treatment with him to reinforce the effects.
Aroyan L. M., 32 years old, Moscow
I've been dealing with a **herniated disc** in my cervical spine. After reading many excellent reviews, I chose this clinic. I've already had a consultation with a neurosurgeon and am now undergoing a course of **physiotherapy and manual therapy**. The best part is, all the treatment is completely **painless**!
Zhanna, Astana
A year ago, when our son was just 3, he had an **ischemic stroke**. He hadn't suffered any previous injuries or specific health issues. He simply woke up one morning unable to move his arm and leg. At the hospital, doctors found an increased platelet level in his blood, and a **brain MRI** confirmed the ischemic stroke. He's since undergone hospital treatment twice, and the **spasm in his left arm** has started to disappear. We had a follow-up brain MRI and consulted with a neurosurgeon from this clinic. He thoroughly examined our son and gave us detailed recommendations for his continued **rehabilitation**. Using both old and new brain images, he clearly showed us how our son's body was reacting to the stroke, pointing out a **scar with hydrocephalus** and an **expansion of the cerebral ventricle**. We're so grateful for the detailed consultation and for how clearly they explained everything about his future rehabilitation.
Nikolay, Moscow
I'm 37 years old, and I had a **spinal hernia operation** nine years ago. Recently, at work, I had to urgently unload a car and lifted a heavy box of feed. Afterward, my **lower back ached**. I endured it for a week before calling a doctor to my home. The neurosurgeon looked at my old images and examined my back. They recommended **outpatient treatment** in the form of **manual therapy and acupuncture**. To relieve the acute pain, I was immediately given **therapeutic injections** in my lower back right at home. I was afraid it would be painful, so my wife stood by and cheered me on, but the doctor had such a light hand that I practically didn't feel anything! Many thanks!
