Orthopaedic clinical pictures are often complex
Symptoms that manifest themselves in a certain region of the body can be triggered regionally or transmitted muscularly / via fascia / nervally. Even acute injuries are sometimes based on chronic complaints or congenital imbalances. The task of conservative orthopedics is to work out these patterns and to treat them step by step. Techniques from manual medicine, acupuncture, neural therapy and infiltrations are used as well as shock wave therapy, tape dressings or bandages. Foot malpositions or leg length discrepancies can be treated with appropriate insoles or shoe adjustments.
Years of experience help the trained hand as well as the trained eye to distinguish individual peculiarities and norm variants from truly pathological findings. The first therapy approach does not always lead to the goal. Especially with complaints that have developed over many weeks or months and have thus become firmly anchored in the musculoskeletal system and also in the pain memory, often only the combination of different techniques leads to success. Learning your own exercises, creating a training plan or modifying your training or sports behaviour can also contribute to the success of the therapy. It is our task to consider the entire spectrum of conservative treatment methods to alleviate your symptoms.
Holistic clinical examination and additive imaging diagnostics
The basis for the joint decision regarding the therapy of your complaints is the detailed anamnesis and extensive clinical examination of both the affected joint and the entire extremity including the spine. Muscular imbalances or blockages can often be the trigger of pain syndromes. These can be significantly alleviated by targeted, also equipment-supported physiotherapy as well as self-exercises. In parallel, X-ray diagnostics and, if necessary, MRI diagnostics should be performed to obtain decisive information about the current condition of your articular cartilage.
