Our philosophy<\/p>\n

Conservative first \u2014 surgery only when absolutely necessary<\/h2>\n

Many patients come to us worried that only surgery will help. The good news: for the majority of back and joint conditions, this is not the case. <\/p>\n

\n

1 \u00b7 Precise Diagnostics<\/h3>\n

The process begins with a thorough clinical examination. We carefully re-evaluate existing MRI and X-ray images \u2014 because not every finding on the image explains your pain. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

2 \u00b7 Targeted Conservative Therapy<\/h3>\n

Depending on the findings, we combine targeted spinal injections (periradicular therapy, PRT), shockwave therapy, medicinal pain therapy, and sensorimotor insoles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

3 \u00b7 Modern Regenerative Procedures<\/h3>\n

For osteoarthritis and tendon diseases, we rely on PRP\/ACP autologous blood therapy and hyaluronic acid therapy \u2014 procedures that can dampen inflammation and support healing processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And if surgery is necessary? Then we will tell you openly and, if desired, coordinate the referral to experienced surgical partners. This honesty is the core of our work.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions about Orthopedics at VenaZiel<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nCan a herniated disc be treated without surgery?<\/span><\/use><\/svg><\/summary>\n

In most cases, yes. The vast majority of herniated discs resolve within a few weeks with consistent conservative therapy. For this, we combine targeted injections at the nerve root (PRT) with pain and movement therapy. We only recommend surgery in cases of persistent paralysis or bladder\/bowel dysfunction \u2014 but then without delay. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nWhat is PRP\/autologous blood therapy and when is it useful?<\/span><\/use><\/svg><\/summary>\n

In PRP or ACP therapy, we prepare a concentrate of your body’s own growth factors from a small amount of your own blood and inject it specifically into the affected joint or tendon. This is particularly useful for early-stage osteoarthritis and chronic tendon irritations such as tennis elbow \u2014 as a gentle alternative or supplement to cortisone. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nDoes my private health insurance cover the treatment?<\/span><\/use><\/svg><\/summary>\n

Billing is done according to the German Schedule of Fees for Physicians (GO\u00c4). Private health insurance companies and Beihilfe usually reimburse the costs. The exact scope depends on your tariff \u2014 self-payers receive a transparent cost plan before treatment begins. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nHow quickly can I get an appointment?<\/span><\/use><\/svg><\/summary>\n

Short-term. We deliberately keep timely appointments available for initial consultations; acute complaints such as lumbago are scheduled preferentially. The fastest way to book is online via Doctolib. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nWhat distinguishes conservative from surgical spinal medicine?<\/span><\/use><\/svg><\/summary>\n

Conservative spinal medicine treats without intervention on the bone or disc \u2014 with injections, pain and movement therapy, and regenerative procedures. The goal is to alleviate symptoms and restore mobility before considering surgery. We specialize in this approach. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\nDo you also treat acute cases like lumbago?<\/span><\/use><\/svg><\/summary>\n

Yes. Especially for acute lumbago or sciatica, targeted pain therapy often helps quickly. Contact us by phone or book online \u2014 we prioritize acute cases. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
