Time Reservation
A time reservation for seeing the doctors can be made by calling the phone number: (+45) 97 21 04 38 between 10.00 and 13.00 o'clock from Monday to Friday.
When making a reservation we will begin writing the patient's case sheet. We need the following information: the patient's name, phone number, birthday, pain problem(s), other or previous disease(s), whether or when the patient was X-rayed/scanned in the area(s) in discussion, whether s/he is on medication. It is very important for the doctor to know whether the patient takes any blood diluting medicine. If the patient takes any aspirin-related medicine/salicylate, s/he should take a 3 day pause before a gold implantation. The patient will also be asked whether s/he can tolerate iodine and plaster.

How Does A Consultation Session Proceed?
The patient's relation(s) is not allowed to attend the operation of gold implantation. The examination and treatment take about an hour. The patient tells the doctor her/his symptoms, the doctor examines the patient and compares the patient's symptoms and the examination with the report of X-ray/scanning examination(s), which should be send to the clinic in good time before the consultation. The report should be no older than 5 years. Then an overall evaluation will be made as to whether a gold implantation can be made. Generally there is no hindrance to carrying out such a treatment.

How Does A Gold Implantation Proceed?
After local anesthesia, some small pieces of gold carried by thick syringes will be inserted and implanted into the pain areas. When the syringes are withdrawn, these pricks on the skin will be covered by small pieces of plasters, which shall be kept there for 24 hours. Some patients may feel a little dizzy after the treatment. Because of this, as well as the local anesthesia, the patient must not drive home her/himself from the clinic.

Price For A Treatment Of Gold Implantation
Call me for price information. The precise amount will be set when the consultation finishes. If a gold implantation can not be carried out at once, the patient will be charged 1000 kroner for the examination. The payment shall take place after the treatment/examination. Cash and checks are acceptable, but not credit cards.

When Does The Treatment Take Effect?
In some cases the pain has already gone as the effect of local anesthesia disappears after 1-2 hours.
In most cases the patient would feel tender or sensitive in the following few days in the areas where the gold is embedded.
A few patients may feel a worsening of pain for a short period before the pain decreases.
Most patients experience the relief of pain in the following weeks/months, some however do so 4-5 months after the treatment.
The patients are asked to contact the clinic 3 months after the treatment and to tell how they are progressing.
The implantation of gold has been applied to human beings since 1996. Veterinarians have applied similar method to dogs and horses since 1970s.
