Medical review policy

How we review medical information

Medical pages undergo internal review for alignment with conservative, evidence-informed practice within the center's scope.

We do not publish cure guarantees, «best doctor» claims, or 100% success advertising. Even reviewed text does not replace personalized consultation.

Review focuses on patient safety, accurate wording, cross-language alignment, and removal of unsupported recommendations or outcome guarantees.

Role of medical review

Healthy Spine clinical specialists verify that materials match conservative rehabilitation practice scope and contain no dangerous or misleading claims. We do not publish fictional reviewers with unverified credentials — the center remains the publisher. Review does not replace individual consultation for a specific patient.

Scope of review

Review covers knowledge articles, condition pages, Yerevan landing pages, patient guides, policies, and key informational blocks in Armenian, Russian, and English. Clinical claims are reviewed more strictly than general navigation text.

  • Articles and condition pages
  • Local landing pages
  • Policies and patient guides
  • Trilingual versions

Review process

Typical path: draft → clinical check by a relevant specialist → language edit → publication. Risky wording (guarantees, website diagnosis, aggressive recommendations) is sent back for revision. Published materials are periodically refreshed when practice or feedback changes.

  • Fact and wording check
  • Removal of unsupported claims
  • Alignment with editorial policy
  • Periodic refresh

Limitations

Even reviewed content remains general information. It does not account for individual history, test results, contraindications, or comorbidities. Review does not turn a webpage into a personal medical report or treatment plan.

Patient safety

Priority is to do no harm: materials should direct patients to in-person assessment for symptoms and emergency care for red flags. Wording that delays medical care is prohibited, as are recommendations to start exercises or procedures without specialist evaluation.

  • Emergency care for red flags
  • No treatment via website
  • In-person assessment before loading

Evidence standards

We rely on accepted conservative rehabilitation principles and center clinical experience within its scope. Materials must not cite unverified methods or promise proven outcomes without qualifiers. Required wording includes «may help», «may support», and «results may vary».

Publication workflow

Changes are published without URL changes to preserve stability for patients and SEO. When one language version updates, key medical claims are aligned across languages. Patient feedback may trigger unscheduled review.

  • Draft → review → publish
  • Updates without URL changes
  • hy/ru/en alignment

Relationship to editorial policy

Medical review complements editorial policy: editors ensure clarity and structure; clinical specialists ensure medical correctness within conservative practice. Both policies are published on the site for transparency.
