Faktor Zdravlje Polyclinic

Faktor Zdravlje is a medical centre for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system. The musculoskeletal system is the system of organs of movement. It includes the bones, muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments, as well as all the organs that affect this system – above all those of the nervous, cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal and visual systems – with the aim of integrating them into the human organism as a whole, with all its physical and psychological characteristics. At the Faktor Zdravlje medical centre you can recover from musculoskeletal injuries and also improve your functional and motor abilities.

The branch of medicine that brings together knowledge of the organs of movement is physical and rehabilitation medicine – a discipline that, using a scientific medical approach and the latest findings in physics, biology and chemistry, improves the health of muscles, bones and joints.

Physiatrist is the term for a doctor of medicine – a specialist doctor who, after medical school, specialises in physical medicine and rehabilitation and who, with their integrated knowledge, can help other specialties to restore the body to full physical and mental fitness. A physiatrist who trains further in rheumatology becomes a rheumatology subspecialist.

At Faktor Zdravlje, specialist physiatrists and rheumatologists work alongside other healthcare professionals, such as physiotherapists, kinesiologists and nurses. Our wish is to put as much knowledge as possible at your service. Our team is dynamic – a blend of experience and youth – and full of energy, and its aim is to help you uncover the causes of disease, reduce pain and increase the mobility of your musculoskeletal system. People who exercise for recreation, athletes, and middle-aged and older people often suffer from neck pain, low back pain and pain in the joints of the arms and legs as a result of injuries, prolonged inactivity at work and work-related strain. Diseases can also result from inflammatory, infectious and autoimmune disorders, which is why integrated medical knowledge is needed to re-examine the aetiology and pathogenesis of the disease, so that the patient and the medical team, working together, can restore the body's homeostasis.
