What methods are there?

Joint treatment with ozone oxygen

Joints that are stiffened by arthrosis can be loosened up again, made flexible and, above all, painless using an ozone injection. The joint converts into a pneumatically sprung joint, the gas buffers the friction and makes the joint movements smooth. However, ozone therapy is also possible in the form of a sterile ozone-water syringe. The ozone gas is dissolved in saline infusions and the diseased joints are rinsed. The ozone water rinse works not only mechanically, but also chemically and biologically: Hidden germs in the joint are not only flushed out, but also killed. Ozone is the strongest disinfectant in the world, which when used medically is immediately converted into oxygen and therefore promotes blood circulation and immune strengthening for the body. The released oxygen kills the bacteria and nourishes the diseased tissue with the vital oxygen through direct contact and diffusion into the tissue. Free radicals are neutralized and growth factors promoted. These properties of ozone-oxygen are used in ozone gassing and ozone flushing and poorly healing, infected arthrosis affected joints are mechanically made mobile again by ozone gas mobilization and padded, disinfected and supplied with oxygen from the inside. All of this promotes cartilage healing, which is the most important thing against osteoarthritis.

Macrolane - padding for the feet

The special feature of the sole of the foot is its fat pad, which is located in special, separate chambers from which it cannot escape. This construction not only enables a pain-free gait, but also absorbs all stress during movement. For example, the layer of fat under the heel is compressed by half when walking. The individual fat chambers are movable and can be moved individually, which is necessary so that the sole of the foot does not slip completely under load. This is because people walked barefoot centuries ago, which is still the most optimal form of locomotion because it distributes the load evenly over the foot. The steps continue like a wave through the whole foot and it is rolled down to the toes. Shoes support the foot too much and prevent this smooth movement. As a result, the muscles and tendons can be under-strained, which in turn can result in deformation and pain. To solve this problem, Dr. Berger padding with Macrolane for the feet. This allows the patient to walk pain-free again.

Acupuncture for pain

The application of Acupuncture is probably the oldest and most widespread healing method in the world and is still used today in orthopedics. By pricking needles at precisely defined points in the skin, disorders inside the body can be eliminated or alleviated. A tried and tested method in China for thousands of years, especially in pain therapy. Acupuncture can have a positive effect on painful diseases of the posture and musculoskeletal system, disorders of the internal organs, when giving up addiction (e.g. smoking) and when you are overweight. Miss Dr. Berger uses acupuncture in a targeted manner and has many years of experience in this area. After extensive statistical surveys, pain treatment with acupuncture for chronic conditions in the lumbar spine and knee joints was recognized as a service provided by statutory health insurance in 2007.

Root blockade against pain - numbing of nerve outlets near the spine

Back pain with leg pain is a sign that a herniated disc in the spinal canal is putting mechanical pressure on a nerve root. This pressure leads to inflammatory reactions at this nerve root and thus to an increase in pain. Paralysis of leg muscles is often the result. Special measures, so-called root blockades, are part of the general therapy. The analgesics can be introduced to the affected nerve root and thus lead to swelling of the nerve root. In this way, the damaged muscle can function again.

Soft laser against muscle and joint pain

Initially, laser therapy was only reserved for selected clinical pictures, but its field of application has expanded enormously in recent years. Laser has become indispensable in the treatment of many diseases: It is increasingly being used in orthopaedics, especially in pain therapy, for example in the case of chronic back pain, arthritis, shoulder problems or even acute injuries. The word laser is an abbreviation of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Each laser has its own wavelength and penetrates deep into tissue, reflecting, absorbing and scattering. Due to the depth of penetration of the laser beams into the tissue, the breakdown products of the metabolism, which are partly responsible for the pain, are eliminated more quickly. The improved blood circulation situation ensures that these substances are removed quickly. In the case of chronic pain, laser therapy breaks the cycle of pain and thus brings it to a standstill. Symptoms improve in many patients after the first treatment. Pain lasers are used in the following body regions: head and cervical spine, shoulder joints, elbows / hands - knee joints, back / hip joints - Achilles tendons / feet.

Magnetic field treatments or magnetic field therapy

Magnetic field therapy is also one of the therapy applications, especially for chronic pain. Put simply, a magnetic field built up outside generates a current inside the body. This is called bioenergy, which is supplied to the body from outside. It should lead to a positive influence on the energy metabolism, which in turn leads to a normalization of the cell metabolism. It is assumed here that the cell function is demonstrably impaired in many painful events due to a disturbed cell metabolism. This type of therapy aims to increase tissue perfusion. Sufficient blood flow is a prerequisite for the healing process in the damaged tissue. Mainly in the surgical and orthopedic field, magnetic field therapy is now used for a wide range of underlying disorders. Magnetic field treatment is now also used for chronic back/knee pain.

Chiropractic - Settling

The term "chiropractic" comes from the Greek and means "to do by hand". Special handling techniques are used. Chiropractic is used to treat functional joint problems. It is one of the most popular treatment methods in orthopedics for back pain. Pain in the back is usually caused by displaced vertebrae or cramped muscles, which limit the mobility of the spine. Chiropractors try to release joint blockages with special hand movements. If it is possible to remove the joint blockage, these complaints such as headaches or dizziness can also be cured. In addition to the treatment of back pain, this method can also have a positive effect on painful and restricted functions in the muscle and tendon area. The general goal is to normalize the functionality and interaction of joints and muscles while relieving or, at best, eliminating pain.
