Doctor's advice:

If you have chronic joint diseases, post-injury conditions, or orthopedic disorders, it is essential to follow planned examinations and rehabilitation programs. Modern treatment methods, prosthetics, and physical therapy can help maintain mobility, activity, and improve quality of life. Take care of yourself!"
