Back health is far more than just being free of pain. It means mobility, stability, resilience, and quality of life—in everyday life, at work, and in sports. Back pain is one of the most common health problems of our time. However, not every herniated disc and not every spinal stenosis requires surgery. Precise diagnostics, individual therapy, and a holistic understanding of back health are crucial.
As a specialist in orthopedics as well as orthopedics and trauma surgery with over 30 years of experience, I support my patients with a clear goal: to restore back health sustainably and secure it for the long term.
Back health requires experience – surgical competence and conservative strength
My professional career combines three decades of orthopedics:
- 15 years of surgical practice in the fields of shoulder, knee, and hip
- 15 years of spinal surgery with a focus on microsurgical decompression for herniated discs and spinal stenosis
- now a deliberate focus on conservative spinal therapy
Today, I deliberately work purely conservatively. This decision is based on my conviction—and my experience:
Not every change on an MRI requires surgery. But every complaint deserves a careful, individual assessment.
As a holder of the Master’s Certificate from the German Spine Society (Deutsche Wirbelsäulengesellschaft), I possess particular expertise in the differentiated assessment of complex spinal disorders.
This combination of surgical experience and conservative specialization enables an independent, professionally sound assessment:
What does your back health really need—and what does it not?
Understanding the causes of back pain – the basis for true back health
Sustainable back health only occurs when causes are identified. Common diagnoses include:
- Herniated disc (cervical or lumbar spine)
- Spinal canal stenosis
- Facet joint osteoarthritis
- SI joint syndrome
- muscular imbalances
- chronic lumbar spine complaints
- sports-related overuse
However, back health is more than just an MRI finding.
A lack of exercise, incorrect loading, stress, muscular tension, and psychosocial factors significantly influence complaints.
Therefore, I combine modern imaging diagnostics with a careful clinical examination and a holistic view of your individual life and stress situation.
Conservative therapy to promote back health
In many cases, back health can be restored without surgery. Especially in the case of a herniated disc, conservative therapy is often successful.
Modern treatment methods include:
- Shockwave therapy (radial and focused)
- Injections (e.g., hyaluronic acid, PRP/autologous blood therapy)
- Acupuncture for chronic back pain
- Chiropractic Therapy
- Kinesio taping
- Physical therapy and balneology
- Sports medicine-based training advice
Through my additional qualifications in sports medicine, chiropractic therapy, acupuncture, as well as physical therapy and balneology, an individually coordinated therapy concept is created—tailored to your personal back health.
Holistic back health: body, mind, and stress in balance
Back health arises from the interplay of:
- stable musculature
- good movement coordination
- healthy load management
- sufficient regeneration
- inner balance
Chronic back pain is often an expression of a complex imbalance. My medical approach deliberately takes into account the interplay of physical, functional, and psychosocial factors.
Back health at the highest level – individual care for private patients and self-payers
In our practice, we exclusively treat private patients and self-payers.
This deliberate decision enables:
- sufficient time for diagnostics and consultation
- individual, differentiated therapy planning
- modern technical procedures without budget restrictions
- personal medical care without time pressure
- medical decisions free from health insurance-specific requirements
Back health requires attention, precision, and individuality—not standardized short appointments.
Why back health is close to my heart
In over 30 years of medical practice, I have supported many patients with severe back complaints—both conservatively and surgically. I have seen how significantly back pain can restrict people in their daily lives, their work, and their enjoyment of life.
But I have also experienced how much is possible when complaints are viewed in a differentiated manner.
Not every MRI image tells the whole story. Not every operation is without alternative. And not every chronic complaint is unchangeable.
Today, it is a personal priority for me to combine all my knowledge—surgical experience, conservative expertise, and holistic understanding.
For me, back health means:
- getting people moving again
- providing security through clear medical assessment
- avoiding unnecessary procedures
- achieving sustainable stability instead of short-term symptom treatment
I deliberately work on an equal footing. Listening is just as important to me as diagnostics.
Because behind every spine is a person with a history, burdens, goals, and hopes.
Securing back health for the long term – not just treating pain
My goal is not short-term pain relief, but a sustainable stabilization of your back health.
This includes:
- transparent education
- realistic therapy goals
- active involvement in the treatment process
- individual prevention and training strategies
- neutral advice regarding potential surgical indications
Through my many years of surgical experience, I can clearly assess when a procedure is appropriate—and when conservative therapy represents the better option.
Back health is not a short-term project, but a process.
I support you with experience, medical precision, and an open-minded perspective.
