    Sciatic pain / sciatica

    Conservative orthopaedics focuses on the non-surgical treatment of sciatic pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. In addition to a thorough diagnosis, our specialists use targeted therapeutic approaches such as injection treatments, physiotherapy and osteopathic techniques to relieve pain and restore function.

    Bone loss / osteoporosis

    Treatment of bone loss (osteoporosis) using a holistic approach. In addition to drug therapy approaches, various physiotherapeutic procedures, osteopathic techniques and special measures to strengthen the bone structure are used. Individual diagnosis and advice are the focus of osteoporosis-related treatment.

    Interventional spinal therapy (cryodenervation)

    The joint capsules of the vertebral joints are densely permeated with pain fibers. These so-called facet joint nerves transmit pain signals centrally, which often leads to chronic back pain. The aim of cryotherapy is to specifically switch off these pain fibers and thus interrupt the transmission of the joint capsule pain. This special form of cryotherapy (from the Greek word "kryos", meaning frost) is mainly used for chronic back pain. This pain can sometimes radiate into the arms or legs and often affects patients with proven signs of wear and tear on the spine.

    Conservative pain treatment

    Conservative pain management in conservative orthopaedics focuses on relieving pain without surgical intervention. Our specialists use a variety of conservative therapy approaches, including injection treatments, physiotherapy, osteopathic techniques and naturopathic procedures, to address your individual needs and body.

    Chirotherapy

    Chiropractic therapy relies on gentle manual techniques to release blockages and improve joint mobility. We attach particular importance to a precise diagnosis and individually tailored treatment plans.

    Nutritional medicine

    In conservative orthopaedics, our specialists not only look at the structural aspects of the musculoskeletal system, but also the importance of nutrition for holistic health. A balanced diet plays a decisive role in the prevention and treatment of orthopaedic complaints. Our specialists integrate nutritional approaches into the overall treatment to promote a holistic recovery.

    Naturopathy

    Our specialists use natural healing methods as a complementary therapy option. In addition to conventional approaches, we use methods such as leech therapy to activate the body's self-healing powers. The use of naturopathic methods always takes into account the individual needs and complaints of each patient.

    Sports medicine

    Conservative orthopaedics also refers to sports medicine, with our specialists specializing in non-surgical approaches to treating sports injuries and orthopaedic problems associated with sporting activities. In addition to special injection therapies and physiotherapeutic measures, we emphasize preventive approaches to promote athletic performance and prevent injuries.

    Spinal therapy

    In conservative orthopaedics, our specialists are dedicated to the non-surgical treatment of your complaints and pain in the area of the back and spine. Our range of services extends from classic herniated discs (lumbar disc herniation in the lumbar spine and cervical disc herniation in the cervical spine), lumbago and sciatic pain to spinal stenosis, problems in the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine and scoliosis.

    Our back specialists use special injection therapies, osteopathic techniques and pain medicine procedures to relieve your pain and restore your back health. Each treatment is preceded by a detailed diagnosis and consultation.

    Motion analysis

    Precise movement analysis is crucial for the development of effective therapy plans. Our experienced specialists carry out comprehensive movement analyses in order to design individual therapy approaches.

    Training control

    Training management is a central component of rehabilitation and prevention. In conservative orthopaedics, we work with you to develop tailored training plans to promote your recovery and optimize your performance.

    Physical therapy

    Physical therapy uses various physical measures to relieve pain and restore functionality. Proven methods are used in a targeted manner to achieve optimum results.

    Physiotherapeutic treatments

    The physiotherapy treatments are tailored to the needs of each individual patient. Targeted exercises and techniques are used to support rehabilitation and promote mobility.

    Acupuncture

    Acupuncture is a proven method of traditional Chinese medicine that is used to relieve pain and promote self-healing. Our specialists use this technique in conservative orthopaedics as a complementary measure in pain therapy.

    Proliferation therapy

    Proliferation therapy is an innovative method for strengthening tendons and ligaments. Targeted stimulation stimulates natural healing to strengthen the structures and improve resilience.
