This guide describes a first visit to Healthy Spine rehabilitation center in Yerevan. It is informational: we do not diagnose by phone or promise specific treatment outcomes.
An initial consultation typically lasts 20–40 minutes depending on case complexity. The physician reviews complaints, performs examination, and may discuss further testing. An individual plan is formed only after in-person assessment.
What to bring

- List of medications and allergies
- Brief description of pain onset and pattern
- Referring physician contact — if applicable

How the first consultation works
The specialist takes history: when pain started, what worsens or relieves symptoms, prior injuries or surgeries. Examination and basic movement assessment follow. Testing scope is individual.
What to expect after the visit
After assessment, an individual rehabilitation plan may be proposed: exercise, physiotherapy, manual techniques, or follow-up — as indicated. The plan may be adjusted as symptoms change.
