I am a specialist in physical medicine and general rehabilitation and diagnose and treat complaints that can be assigned to the musculoskeletal system.
Movement-related pain often has its starting point in the spine, be it in the neck and shoulder area, or in the lumbar spine, and in the adjacent joints, ligaments and muscles. They can often lead to persistent, even chronic pain, the causes of which I get to the bottom of.
You can also come to me for pain from overuse and poor posture or sports injuries to the shoulder, elbow, hand, hip and knee.
My treatment area also includes muscular imbalances in poor posture, especially in adolescents, also after illnesses and operations, after nerve lesions, in osteoporosis or in pelvic floor weakness.
In the further course I will advise you on the appropriate behavioral measures and put together an individual therapy concept coordinated with you. I carry out pain medication or manual therapy, in some cases infiltration therapy or acupuncture can also help to relieve the pain or the mobility impairment.
If necessary, I create a comprehensive therapy plan for a healthy lifestyle. Physical and mental stress should also be recorded and cared for in the best possible way.
That’s why I work together in a broad network with physiotherapists, psychologists, ergotherapists, dieticians and doctors from other disciplines and, if necessary, arrange for a referral for outpatient or inpatient orthopedic rehabilitation.
