When should you see a traumatologist or orthopaedic specialist?
An orthopaedic specialist assesses injuries and conditions that affect movement and everyday activities. You may benefit from a consultation if you experience:
- Knee, shoulder, hip, ankle or other joint pain.
- Swelling, stiffness or reduced range of movement.
- Pain following a fall, sports injury or physical strain.
- Persistent discomfort after a sprain or other injury.
- Joint instability or recurring injuries.
- Difficulties recovering after a fracture or orthopaedic surgery.
You can also seek advice about safely returning to exercise, work or your usual activities after an injury.
Consultation with Dr. Dmitrijs Bodrovs
During your consultation, Dr. Dmitrijs Bodrovs will discuss your symptoms, how they developed and how they affect your daily life. He will ask about previous injuries, medical conditions, physical activity and treatments you have already tried.
The doctor will examine the affected area and review any relevant medical reports or imaging results you bring. If additional investigations are needed, he will explain their purpose.
Following the assessment, you will receive recommendations for treatment and follow-up care. Depending on the findings, these may include activity adjustments, medication, physiotherapy, rehabilitation or further specialist assessment.
Knee pain and knee injuries
Knee pain can interfere with walking, climbing stairs, exercise and everyday tasks. A consultation may be helpful if you have persistent pain, swelling, stiffness or a feeling that your knee gives way.
The doctor will assess your symptoms, examine the knee and review any available investigations. The next steps will depend on the findings and your individual needs.
Shoulder pain and shoulder injuries
Shoulder problems may cause pain when lifting your arm, reaching overhead or sleeping on the affected side. They can develop after an injury or gradually over time.
During the consultation, the doctor will assess shoulder movement and discuss how the symptoms affect your work, sleep and physical activity. He will then recommend an appropriate plan for further assessment or treatment.
Sports injuries and recovery after trauma
Sports injuries and recurring discomfort during exercise can make it difficult to maintain your usual level of activity. An orthopaedic consultation can help assess the problem and plan your recovery.
Follow-up consultations are also available for patients recovering after a fracture or orthopaedic surgery. Bring your discharge summary, previous imaging and any treatment instructions so the doctor can review your progress.
Joint injections
If an injection is being considered, the doctor will first assess whether it is appropriate for your condition. The consultation provides an opportunity to discuss the proposed procedure, its expected benefits, possible risks and alternatives.
The type of injection and the need for treatment are determined individually. Please contact the clinic to confirm the availability and cost of a particular procedure.

- Previous medical reports and discharge summaries.
- Relevant X-ray, ultrasound, MRI or CT results, including the images if available.
- A list of medicines you currently take.
- Information about any known allergies.

Before your appointment, note when your symptoms started, whether there was an injury and which movements or activities make the symptoms better or worse.
