Welcome to Our Clinic

Welcome to the Sports Medicine & Rehab Clinic led by Dr. Savvas-Apollon Chronis, a Specialist Physiatrist with expertise in sports medicine and rehabilitation. We provide comprehensive, individualized treatments to help our patients achieve their health and wellness goals.


In my clinic, we treat sports medicine problems and injuries without surgical procedures. We address most musculoskeletal issues, including lumbar and cervical spine problems, arthritis, cartilage problems, spondyloarthritis, muscular problems, ligament injuries, scoliosis, and many others.


We provide rehabilitation services led by skilled, registered physiotherapists for conditions such as cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) and post-surgical recovery after musculoskeletal surgeries.


For treatment, I use a holistic approach, which combines medication, various injectable treatments, and tailored rehabilitation programs based on the specific condition. This approach helps us achieve optimal treatment outcomes with the best possible results.


Our services

 

Rehabilitation Programs

We provide comprehensive rehabilitation programs tailored to conditions such as spinal cord injuries, fractures, joint replacements, and sports injuries. Our aim is to help patients regain their independence and quality of life.

 

REHABILITATION

In my clinic all rehabilitation programs are performed by registered physiotherapists who execute the combined rehabilitation programs which the physiatrist after clinical examination prescribe in a warm and friendly environment. We offer all the latest and necessary rehabilitation equipments and a gym.

 

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP therapy uses a patient’s own blood to produce a high concentration of platelets, which is then injected into an injured area to stimulate healing. This treatment is often used for joint pain, ligament injuries, and chronic tendon issues.


PRP is produced from a person's own blood. It is a concentration of one type of cell, known as platelets, which circulate through the blood and are critical for blood clotting. Platelets and the liquid plasma portion of the blood contain many factors that are essential for the cell recruitment, multiplication and specialization that are required for healing.


Platelet rich plasma can be injected and treat in to an injured area of bone or soft tissue, such as a tendon or ligament, muscle, arthrosis with very good results.

 

Injection of hyaluronic acid

Another choice of intra articular injections for the treatment of osteoarthritis is the injections of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is produced by the body. It concentrates on the joints (as in other places), however, in people with osteoarthritis it breaks down, resulting in their pain and stiffness.


It is an alternative for those who are not relieved by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or who can not take them because of kidney or stomach problems. Laboratory and clinical studies suggest that hyaluronic acid can do much more than just lubricate the joint. Studies show that hyaluronic acid infusion inhibits prostaglandins and cytokines, which promote inflammation at the cellular level. It can also cause increased production of this important substance, which can in turn help maintain cartilage.


The beneficial effects of injections of hyaluronic acid last from 6 months until a year accordingly. After this time administration should be repeated.

 

Prolotherapy for the Treatment of Back Pain

It is the position of the American Association of Orthopaedic Medicine that prolotherapy is a safe efficacious therapy for the treatment of selected cases of low back pain and other chronic myofascial pain syndromes. This is based upon basic science data showing the effects of prolotherapy in animal models, clinical studies, a lengthy history of clinical use and efficacy, and increasingly widespread acceptance within the medical community.


While we recognize that further basic science and clinical studies need to be done and are currently in process, we believe that prolotherapy is a safe, cost effective and efficacious therapy that can provide pain relief and return of function for many patients.

 

Lumbago: Lumbar Spine problems

Lumbar Spine problems, Lumbago (pain at the lumbar spine area), is a seldom used term to mean mild to severe low back pain. The pain can be acute or chronic and affects young and old people. There are many things that cause low back pain or lumbago.

 

STEM CELL THERAPY

Our clinic offers stem cell therapy derived from a patient's own adipose tissue or bone marrow. Stem cell therapy is used to repair damaged tissues, cartilage, and other musculoskeletal issues.

 

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Our physical therapy programs focus on improving movement, reducing pain, and enhancing quality of life. We develop individualized treatment plans to restore physical function and prevent future injuries.

 

ROAD ACCIDENTS

Whiplash is a neck injury due to forceful, rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck, like the cracking of a whip. Whiplash most often occurs during a rear-end auto accident, but the injury can also result from a sports accident, physical abuse or other trauma. Common signs and symptoms of whiplash include neck pain, stiffness and headaches.


Most people with whiplash with the correct treatment , neck support, medication, combined rehabilitation program get better within a few weeks. However, some people have chronic neck pain and other long-lasting complications which can last from some weeks until some months accordingly.

 

Calcified Periarthritis (Calcific Tendinitis)

Calcified Periarthritis (Calcific Tendinitis) is the deposition of calcium salts in the tendons of the shoulder, such as the supraspinatus tendon. A comprehensive therapeutic approach is essential for effective treatment.

 

SHOCKWAVE THERAPY

Our clinic features the only Shockwave EMS (Swiss Dolorclast) machine in Cyprus. This non-invasive treatment is effective for treating tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and other musculoskeletal conditions.
