What we treat – conservative, structured, comprehensible

Our focus is on conservative orthopedics. The aim is to relieve pain, restore function and avoid unnecessary procedures. We work based on guidelines and coordinate the steps individually.

• Spine: acute and chronic back and neck pain
• Shoulder and arm: impingement, tendon irritation, tennis/golfer's elbow
• Hip and knee: Osteoarthritis, overuse, ligament/meniscus-related problems
• Foot and ankle: heel pain, Achilles tendon, instability
• Hand: tendonitis, trigger finger
• Sports orthopedics: acute injuries, overuse, return to activity

Conservative measures include, among others: Advice and activity adjustment, physiotherapy, manual medical procedures, targeted injections, taping and orthopedic technical aids. Regenerative procedures (e.g. PRP) are only considered - if appropriate - after careful indication review and information.

First appointment: What is important?

• Bring preliminary findings: doctor’s letters, X-ray/MRI reports, surgery reports
• Imaging on CD/USB or as a link (PACS/Cloud), if available
• Medication list and relevant previous illnesses
• Documentation of your complaint history (e.g. pain diary) is helpful

During the conversation we clarify goals, expectations and everyday requirements. On this basis, we create an individual, realistic treatment plan without a blanket promise of healing.
