Medical Disclaimer

The information on this website is general in nature and is not medical advice. It is published to help you understand orthopaedic conditions and treatments in broad terms. It is not a substitute for professional diagnosis, examination, or treatment by a qualified doctor.

No doctor-patient relationship

Reading this website, submitting the contact form, or using the chat assistant does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and SV Ortho Care or any of its clinicians. That relationship begins only when you are seen in consultation.

Every case is different

Orthopaedic conditions vary considerably between individuals. Descriptions of symptoms, treatment options, and recovery timelines on this site are typical patterns only. They may not apply to your situation. Do not start, stop, or change any treatment based on what you read here without speaking to your doctor.

No guarantee of outcome

No surgical or non-surgical treatment has a guaranteed result. Any description of benefits, recovery, or expected improvement on this site is general information, not a promise of outcome in your case. Risks, benefits and realistic expectations for your specific condition should be discussed with your surgeon during consultation.

Emergencies

This website is not for emergencies. If you have severe pain, a suspected fracture, an open wound, loss of sensation or movement, or any other urgent problem, go to your nearest hospital emergency department immediately. Do not wait for a reply from this website, the contact form, or the chat assistant.

Our clinic is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM. Sunday hours are 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. We are closed on Wednesday. Enquiries received outside those hours are answered when the clinic next opens.

About the chat assistant

The AI chat assistant on this site provides general information only. It is an automated system, it can be wrong, and it does not know your medical history. It cannot diagnose you and its responses are not reviewed by a clinician before you see them. Please treat anything it tells you as a starting point for a conversation with a doctor, not as advice to act on.
