Pain therapy
When treating chronic pain it is not enough just to treat the cause. Therapy must also influence pain memory. Acquired pain-related learning processes have to be reversed. Nerves are also able to forget and unwind. Pain management aims to achieve relaxation of the entire nervous system.
Orthopaedic pain therapy
For severe acute and chronic pain of the musculoskeletal system, we carry out a number of different examinations and apply the following pain management treatments.
- Medication adjustment, also with infusions or infusion pumps
- Pain-relieving physiotherapy (e.g. extension, electrotherapy, application of ice or heat, massage, manual therapy)
- TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation)
- Acupuncture and moxibustion (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
- Neural therapy
- Psychosomatic treatment
- Chirotherapy
- Atlas therapy according to Arlen
- Pulsed magnetic field therapy
- Laser therapy
- Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)
We also offer a number of special orthopaedic pain management methods:
- Specific diagnostic and therapeutic nerve blocks
- Diagnostic and therapeutic nerve blocks in the spine
- Therapeutic injections into muscles, bursae, tendons and joints
In particular, lumbar epidural injections (SSPDA) can be used for spinal problems in the groin area resulting from a slipped disc or lumbar spinal stenosis. This often avoids surgery on the lumbar spine.
Periradicular therapy (PRT) is a minimally invasive procedure in which a drug combination is injected into the vertebral column area and the intervertebral disc, with needle navigation guided by computed tomography.
Precision infiltration of the vertebral facet joints is controlled by computed tomography.
