No. You can book directly. If you have been seeing an orthopaedic surgeon or physician, bring their notes.
No. All procedures are day-care. You are observed for a short period afterwards and go home the same day.
They are done under local anaesthesia, with light sedation where needed. Most patients describe pressure rather than pain, and soreness for a few days afterwards.
Day-care procedures are covered by many policies; consultations and some regenerative procedures usually are not. The clinic can help you check your policy before a procedure.
When there is progressive weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, a complete tendon or ligament tear in an active person, or a joint that has worn to bone on bone with disability. Dr. Kiruthika will say so plainly and refer you.
