Minimally invasive pain therapy

The pain is broken through with minimally invasive interventions. 

Since no or only local anesthesia is necessary for such therapy methods and they are also suitable for multimorbid patients who are no longer fit for surgery, we speak of gentle and low-risk treatment methods. 

As a rule, such interventions are painless, and extensive pain-inducing scars are avoided, which shortens the rehabilitation phase enormously. 

Another great advantage for the patient is that he can leave the hospital on the same day or the next day at the latest. 

Minimally invasive pain therapy - combined with external therapies - can pave the way back to a pain-free life.

Minimally invasive - mostly X-ray-assisted - procedures

Here, pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs are injected precisely at the point where the pain occurs. The advantage is that the drugs only work locally and therefore higher concentrations can be administered.

image converter-controlled infiltrations

diagnostic / therapeutic nerve root blocks on the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine

diagnostic / therapeutic facet joint infiltrations on the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine

epidural infiltrations on the cervical and lumbar spine

intra-articular sacroiliac joint infiltration

Trigger point infiltration

sympathetic nerve blocks

diagnostic discography for intervertebral disc damage

epidural spinal catheters

Minimally invasive procedures using diode lasers

The exact localization of the cause of the pain by means of imaging is a prerequisite. Then a probe is inserted under local anesthesia, heated and the pain is eliminated. This gentle procedure puts much less strain on the body than a neurosurgical procedure.

Denervation in chronic back pain starting from the small vertebral joints (facet joints) or sacroiliac joints (ISG)

Percutaneous laser disc decompression (PLDD) for conservatively uncontrollable herniated discs with pain radiating into the legs (sciatica) and for acute disc damage without radiating pain.
