Resorption is the natural process of reducing and «dissolving» an intervertebral hernia by activating the body«s internal resources. At the Tkachev Clinic, this process is initiated through a set of procedures based on robotic laser therapy. It affects not only the hernia and disc but also other structures of the spine — muscles, ligaments, facet joints, and nerves.

The method is viewed as an alternative to surgery and long-term medication use.

Intervertebral hernias remain one of the most common causes of chronic back pain. Patients are often offered surgical treatment or long-term drug therapy, which alleviates symptoms but does not fully resolve the underlying problem.

The resorption method used in the clinic is considered an option for those who wish to avoid surgery or have contraindications for it.

Family business and an authorial approach to spine treatment

The history of the Tkachev Clinic began in Volgograd with the private practice of neurologist Mikhail Tkachev back in 1992. He was later joined by his son, Alexander. Over the years, the family business grew from a single small office into a clinic widely known across Russia, which today helps thousands of patients from all corners of the country and even from abroad. It was Alexander Tkachev who developed and implemented the method of modulated resorption, which allows for treating hernias without surgery. Over the clinic«s years of operation, more than 50,000 patients have been relieved of hernias and back pain without surgical intervention.

The clinic has long earned a positive reputation among world-class scientists with whom it continues to collaborate, conduct joint research, and participate in international congresses and conferences. Articles by Alexander Tkachev and his colleagues have been published in several well-known publications over the past two years. In 2022, the book «Spine Phenotypes 2022» (18+)* was published, the product of work by a team of authors and world specialists, including Alexander Tkachev.

The Rostov branch will operate under the same standards as the other network branches in Moscow and Volgograd: with experienced specialists, unified treatment protocols, and patient support at all stages — from the initial consultation to monitoring results.

The exact opening date has not yet been announced, but it is known that the branch launch is planned for the near future.
