The priority of EuroPainClinics® is the localisation and identification of the source - area of the pain, which is discovered by precisely examining the back. Before starting the treatment, a detailed review of X-ray, MRI and CT results is performed by highly skilled experts in the fields of interventional pain management, radiology, neurology, spinal surgery and orthopaedic surgery. A specific treatment plan is determined for each patient individually, according to a multi-disciplinary evaluation. This allows us to design the most effective and adequate treatment methods for an efficient relief of pain or a significant decrease in the intensity of the pain.
Please move your attention to the form below named “Medical Opinion”. Please answer the questions as precisely as possible, attach the file with your MRI and submit. Please note that currently, we only evaluate MRI scans of the spine. Furthermore, we would like to inform you that to successfully upload your MRI, it is necessary to compress, i.e. merge the files into one ZIP archive. Our team will review if the recorded files were uploaded successfully, and if we will have any additional questions or if we need any additional information, we will contact you by e-mail or telephone. If we will consider your health indications as an appropriate condition for one of the minimally-invasive or endoscopic procedures at EuroPainClinics®, we will send you together with the review of your MRI, a suggestion of a treatment plan, which could significantly help improve your health-related problems.
