WILMED Medical Clinic is an ISAPS-accredited facility where specialists perform kyphoplasty using X-ray guidance for precise needle placement. Dr. Łukasz Grabarczyk uses a balloon technique to restore vertebral height before injecting bone cement. This minimally invasive approach typically leaves only a 2–3 mm scar. The procedure may cost around $3,300. Patients can often get up within a few hours and return home the same day. Dr. Grabarczyk focuses on neurosurgery to treat osteoporotic compression fractures and spinal metastases.
