Ankylosing spondylitis Treatment in Centrum Ortopedii Zaawansowanej ORTO.pl
About the clinic
Ankylosing spondylitis treatment at Centrum Ortopedii Zaawansowanej ORTO.pl in Wrocław, Poland, focuses on integrated care from initial diagnosis to specialized physical therapy. The clinic follows a "hospital without pain" concept, using nerve blocks to help patients manage discomfort. This facility stands out by offering all necessary imaging and rehabilitation services under one roof.
Diagnostic testing for spine conditions
The clinic provides a full range of imaging to identify spinal inflammation and joint changes. Doctors use these tests to monitor the progression of the disease and plan interventions. Patients can access all services on-site for faster results. The diagnostic suite includes:
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This identifies early signs of inflammation in the sacroiliac joints.
- Computed tomography (CT). This scan provides detailed images of bone structures and fusion.
- Ultrasound (USG). This helps evaluate soft tissue and peripheral joint involvement.
- X-ray (RTG). These traditional images track long-term changes in the spine's alignment.
- Electromyography (EMG). This test checks the health of muscles and the nerves that control them.
Spine rehabilitation and therapy
Rehabilitation is the primary method used at the clinic to maintain mobility and reduce pain. The medical team combines manual techniques with modern technology to stabilize the core and improve posture. These programs are available for both conservative management and recovery after surgical procedures.
- Manual therapy. Specialists use hands-on techniques to improve joint movement and relieve muscle tension.
- Indiba radiofrequency. This treatment uses radiofrequency energy to speed up tissue repair and reduce pain.
- Magnetotherapy. This method uses magnetic fields to decrease inflammation and support bone health.
- Kinesiotaping. Therapists apply elastic tape to support muscles and improve spinal stability.
- Cryotherapy. This cold treatment helps lower inflammation and provides immediate pain relief.
Advanced patient comfort
The facility implements a specific protocol to minimize patient suffering during their stay. By using nerve blocks and tailored pain management, the team helps patients start moving sooner. Most rehabilitation sessions occur on an outpatient basis. The clinic provides a seamless transition between diagnostic imaging and active physical therapy.

Clinical Statistics and Leadership
The medical team performs about 350 orthopedic operations each year. One physician guides each patient from the first consultation through full recovery. Dr. Krzysztof Ciechan leads the department – he was appointed Head of Orthopedics at EuroMediCare in 2025.
The surgical team includes 10 doctors with focused expertise in joint and bone conditions. Dr. Czesław Kalinowski and Dr. Sylwester Pysiewicz lead knee, hip, and foot surgeries. Dr. Jacek Martynkiewicz and Dr. Wojciech Marek specialize in shoulder and hand disorders.
Orthopedic Specialties and Advanced Procedures
The clinic offers both surgical and conservative treatments for orthopedic conditions. Surgeons follow a "hospital without pain" approach for every procedure. This combines targeted anesthesia with nerve blocks to control postoperative discomfort.
Foot and Ankle Surgery
Specialists treat deformities like hallux valgus (bunions) and hammer toes. Hallux corrections use either soft-tissue procedures or bone osteotomies. Minimally invasive techniques are also available, requiring only a few small incisions. Bone union typically takes about 6 weeks.
Knee Joint Care
The center provides reconstructive and prosthetic solutions for knee injuries and degenerative changes. Surgeons perform ACL reconstructions using grafts from the patient's own tendons. For knee replacement, both cement and cementless fixation methods are available. Regenerative options include cartilage reconstruction with biological materials like Hyalofast.
Hand and Shoulder Treatment
The Hand Surgery unit treats carpal tunnel syndrome, Dupuytren's contracture, and fractures. Carpal tunnel release takes about 2 hours, with full recovery in around 3 months. Shoulder treatments include arthroscopic Bankart repairs for instability and rotator cuff surgeries.
Spine Rehabilitation
Therapy programs address discopathy, spinal canal stenosis, and sciatica. The rehabilitation team focuses on pain reduction and core stabilization. Mgr Agnieszka Trytek-Pysiewicz leads this area, covering both conservative and postoperative care.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technologies
ORTO.pl speeds up treatment planning with full imaging on-site. Patients can receive a diagnosis and treatment plan during their first visit. The clinic has several diagnostic tools:
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) for detailed tissue assessment
- RTG (X-ray) to evaluate bone structures and confirm union
- Ultrasound (USG) for real-time soft tissue diagnostics
- EMG (Electromyography) to diagnose nerve conduction issues like carpal tunnel
- CT (Computed Tomography) for complex fracture assessment
Operating rooms handle both traditional open surgery and arthroscopic procedures. Arthroscopy uses camera guidance through 5 mm skin openings. This method works for both diagnostic inspection and joint repair.
Services for International Patients
The clinic organizes treatment to accommodate patients traveling from abroad. The integrated pathway allows imaging and procedure planning during the initial visit. Patients needing a hospital stay have 24/7 surgical and anesthesiological coverage.
On-site rehabilitation can start as early as 48 hours after certain surgeries. Patients may continue recovery through the clinic's outpatient services. Specialists provide consultations in both Polish and English.
