Assessment and diagnostics
Assessment can help guide rehabilitation and track movement, strength, and walking. Available options include:
- Orthopedic consultation: A clinical assessment with an orthopedic specialist.
- Orthopedic consultation with ultrasound: A consultation that includes ultrasound imaging.
- Muscle and soft-tissue ultrasound: An ultrasound scan of muscles and soft tissues.
- FMS Functional Movement Screen: A screen of movement patterns.
- Biodex isokinetic muscle strength assessment: Measures muscle strength using controlled movement.
- Baropodometry: Computer analysis of foot pressure and gait.
Rehabilitation methods and equipment
The clinic offers post-neurosurgical and spinal rehabilitation after procedures and for conditions such as herniated disc, spinal canal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. Its rehabilitation options include:
- Balance and proprioception training: A Sigma platform uses real-time balance tracking and video games to train coordination and body-position awareness.
- Isokinetic strength training: The Biodex System 4 Pro measures muscle strength and supports graded training.
- Gait training and re-education: A Woodway cushioned treadmill and a 2.4-meter pressure-analysis mat support walking practice and gait assessment.
- Individual Physiotherapy Program (IPF): A physiotherapist and supervising physician set an individual schedule and monitor progress.
- Functional training: Vertimax V8 EX and Keiser Functional Trainer equipment support gradual return to movement and daily activity.
- Physiotherapy modalities: Options include focused shockwave therapy, super-inductive stimulation, HI-TOP energotonic therapy, percutaneous electrolysis, and manual therapy.
- Game Ready cold compression: Combines cooling and compression to help manage pain and swelling during recovery.
- Home physiotherapy visits: Available for bedridden patients who cannot travel to the clinic.

Nowa Ortopedia: more details about the clinic
Specialized Orthopedic Care
The clinic treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions through its orthopedic and traumatology departments. Surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to speed recovery and reduce tissue damage.
- Arthroscopic knee surgery performed through 2–4 portals
- ACL reconstruction using the Internal Bracing reinforcement method
- Treatment for meniscus tears, including bucket-handle and complex radial tears
- Foot and ankle surgery for hallux valgus and plantar fasciitis
- Shoulder arthroscopy for instability and rotator cuff repair
Specialists focus on functional restoration by pairing surgery with immediate rehabilitation. Each surgical plan includes targeted physiotherapy to maintain long-term joint stability.
Hand Surgery and Neurosurgery
The facility offers advanced treatment for nerve compression and chronic hand disorders. Specialists perform endoscopic carpal tunnel release through smaller incisions. This allows faster return to activity, and the entire hospital stay typically lasts one hour.
- Microsurgical decompression of the median nerve
- Ultrasound-guided injections for De Quervain's disease
- Surgical management of trigger finger and Dupuytren's contracture
- Neurosurgical care for herniated discs and spinal stenosis
Most hand procedures use local anesthesia and absorbable sutures. This approach removes the need for casting or long-term immobilization in most cases.
Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Therapy
Nowa Ortopedia uses multipotent cells (MSCC/BMA) to treat degenerative joint diseases and sports injuries. These cells come from the patient's own bone marrow or adipose tissue. The clinic uses Hyalofast, a hyaluronic membrane that serves as a scaffold for stem cells during cartilage repair.
This regenerative approach targets early-stage arthrosis and partial ligament injuries. Multipotent cells are also given during tendon repairs to support natural tissue healing.
Pediatric Orthopedics
The hospital has a specialized unit for children's orthopedic and traumatology needs. Diagnostic services include infant hip ultrasound to screen for dysplasia. The team manages various developmental and acquired conditions in young patients:
- Limb-axis deformities such as varus and valgus
- Perthes disease and femoral head slippage
- Sports injuries and trauma in pediatric patients
At least one pediatric specialist provides consultations in English for international families.
Advanced Diagnostic and Recovery Technology
The clinic uses professional assessment tools to monitor progress and refine treatment plans. Diagnostic capabilities include digital X-ray, CT scans, and baropodometry to assess foot pressure distribution.
- Biodex System for isokinetic muscle strength assessment
- Keiser Functional Trainer for rehabilitation
- Game Ready cold compression system for post-op recovery
- Stryker HD arthroscopy columns for high-definition surgical imaging
- Woodway treadmill with high cushioning for gait training
The physiotherapy department also offers HI-TOP energotonic therapy. This advanced electrotherapy helps manage pain and stimulates tissue recovery.
Services for International Patients
The hospital supports patients traveling from abroad through specialized digital systems. English-speaking specialists are available in several departments, including orthopedics and pediatrics. The facility offers online video consultations for patients who live far from Kraków. For those unable to travel, the rehabilitation team can provide home visits within the local area.
