About the doctor
Dr. Sergii Kovalchuk is a neurologist with 25 years of clinical experience in hospitals and medical centers in Ukraine and the UAE. He treats patients with back and neck pain, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, and the effects of chronic stress. His approach combines years of experience, individual attention, and modern diagnostics, with one aim: to help patients get the pain under control and return to everyday life and physical activity.
His practice includes interventional pain treatment: paravertebral blocks for lower back pain, piriformis muscle blocks for piriformis syndrome and sciatic nerve pain, and intra-articular joint injections. These are used as part of a broader, individually planned approach to acute and chronic pain.
Sports neurology is one of the key areas of the doctor’s interest. He has worked with national teams and leading basketball clubs, treating pain caused by sports injuries, heavy training loads, and musculoskeletal overuse. He sees professional athletes and amateurs alike.
Dr. Kovalchuk is a member of the European Neurological Society, the European Federation of Neurological Societies, the World Federation of Neurology, and the American Academy of Neurology. He consults in English, Russian, and Ukrainian.
