Center for Orthopaedics, Trauma Surgery and Chirotherapy at MEDIZINICUM an der Alster

At our location on the Alster at Armgartstr. 4, the focus is on the diagnosis and treatment of orthopaedic diseases and complaints of the musculoskeletal system. As orthopaedic diseases are often complex and frequently affect several areas of the body, we attach great importance to interdisciplinary cooperation with other specialists.

If you do not yet have a precise diagnosis of your orthopaedic complaints, you can benefit from the close networking of our specialists at MEDIZINICUM Stephansplatz. Our interdisciplinary team of around 80 renowned doctors from over 30 different medical disciplines work hand in hand to ensure precise diagnosis and targeted treatment, even for complex clinical pictures.

For diagnostics and therapy, we have state-of-the-art medical equipment at our disposal that is usually only found in large hospitals. In addition, further examinations such as imaging procedures (CT, MRI, digital X-ray) and neurological examinations can be coordinated by our partner location at Stephansplatz. Thanks to the close cooperation, there is no need to register again, as your findings are available at all locations. This enables us to offer you comprehensive medical care.

We look forward to welcoming you to our orthopaedic practice!

Orthopaedics, trauma surgery and chirotherapy

Pain in the musculoskeletal system can affect people of all ages. While sports injuries and overuse are the main causes in younger people, older people often suffer from degenerative changes are often the main cause. Orthopaedic therapy aims not only to alleviate pain, but also to restore the full functionality and resilience of the musculoskeletal system. Sports injuries can often be traced back to a clear cause and often show typical injury patterns. Overuse pain, on the other hand, is more complex and is often caused by muscular imbalances, poor posture or occupational strain.

What does the MEDIZINICUM an der Alster offer?

In the case of acute injuries, the focus is on immediate diagnosis and treatment. In the case of chronic overuse injuries, however, it is important to consider the patient's individual circumstances. A precise analysis of work and everyday stress is essential to enable holistic treatment. A thorough orthopaedic examination is the key to initiating the right diagnostic and therapeutic steps. At MEDIZINICUM an der Alster, we take plenty of time for this initial take a lot of time for this initial examination in order to gain the best possible overview through a detailed discussion as well as a manual and orthopaedic examination.

Thanks to our interdisciplinary collaboration with over 30 specialist fields, we can access the expertise of our specialists quickly and easily. This enables us to obtain a comprehensive picture of your health situation. If further diagnostics, such as imaging, are necessary, we can usually carry them out on the same day.

Therapeutic approaches in orthopaedics

Our focus is on non-surgical (conservative) treatments for orthopaedic and traumatological conditions. Thanks to our modern equipment, we can offer a wide range of treatment options. These include

Manual therapy & kinesio taping
Infiltrations with hyaluronic acid, ACP or CT-guided PRT
Shock wave therapy

Surgical treatment

At MEDIZINICUM an der Alster, we have many years of experience in surgical orthopaedics. We recognize the right time when conservative therapies are no longer sufficient and an operation becomes necessary. In such cases, we work closely with renowned orthopaedic clinics so that a prompt and uncomplicated referral is possible.

Back Center at MEDIZINICUM

The comprehensive initial examination forms the basis of all further treatment at MEDIZINICUM. In addition to a detailed medical history, we carry out a manual and orthopaedic examination. If imaging procedures are required, these can be carried out quickly, often on the same day. This enables us to make a diagnosis quickly and draw up an individual treatment plan for you.

Successful therapy requires teamwork, and as a patient you are an active part of this team. By working closely together, we ensure that you fully understand the treatment process.

Radiological diagnostics for back problems

At MEDIZINICUM Stephansplatz, we offer all standard radiological procedures. These include digital X-rays, computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound.

Treatment options for back pain

Our treatment aims to alleviate pain, correct muscular imbalances and prevent incorrect posture. In addition to manual therapy procedures, we also use targeted infiltrations in which pain-relieving medication is injected under radiological control.

Periradicular therapies (PRT) for the treatment of nerve root pain
Facet joint blocks for the treatment of small vertebral joints
Epidural infiltrations in the spinal canal
Infiltrations of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ)

Thermodenervation

Thermodenervation is an innovative method for reducing pain. This involves using a thermal probe to obliterate the nerve branch responsible for pain conduction. This provides lasting pain relief without the need for surgery.

Surgical therapy for back problems

Although the focus is on non-surgical treatment, our team has extensive experience in the surgical treatment of spinal disorders. Should surgery be necessary, we work closely with specialized spinal surgeons to ensure you receive the best possible care.

Physiotherapy for back pain

In many cases, physiotherapy treatment is useful to correct incorrect posture and strengthen the muscles. We work closely with physiotherapists and closely monitor the healing process. In addition, medical training therapy (MTT) can help to improve physical performance and ensure long-term therapy results.

Neurological and psychological care for back pain

In cases of chronic pain or neurological symptoms, further neurological clarification may be necessary. In addition, we attach great importance to the psychological component in cases of persistent back pain. Our experts offer support in recognizing factors that exacerbate pain and in improving the management of chronic pain.

Our aim is to help you alleviate your symptoms and improve your quality of life through comprehensive and interdisciplinary approaches.
