Our orthopedic practices in Düsseldorf offer specialized microtherapy of the spine for the treatment of back pain. This minimally invasive method uses image-guided procedures for the precise injection of medications directly at the source of the pain. It is particularly suitable for patients with herniated discs, spinal canal stenosis, and sciatica. The treatment is low in pain and requires no special preparation. Years of experience show a high success rate in pain reduction.
The microtherapy of the spine is based on the use of imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) or fluoroscopy to ensure the exact positioning of the injections. This allows anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications to be administered precisely. This technique reduces the strain on the patient and increases the effectiveness of the treatment.
Herniated discs occur when the inner core of a disc pushes through the outer shell and presses on nerves. This can cause severe pain, numbness, and weakness. Microtherapy offers a precise method for pain relief and anti-inflammation by injecting medication directly at the affected site.
Spinal canal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, leading to pain and neurological symptoms. Microtherapy allows for targeted injections that reduce pressure and inflammation, resulting in symptom relief.
Sciatica pain arises from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often due to a herniated disc or spinal canal stenosis. Microtherapy can deliver targeted medication to the affected nerve to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
Degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis and facet syndrome can cause chronic pain. Through image-guided injections of anti-inflammatory medications, we can specifically treat the pain and improve mobility.
Facet syndrome affects the small joints of the spine, leading to pain and stiffness. Microtherapy offers an effective way to alleviate this pain through precise injections. Other specific spinal problems can also be targeted and treated using this method.
The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes about 15-30 minutes. No special preparation is required. After the treatment, the patient remains under observation in our practice for a short time to ensure that no immediate side effects occur.
Our practices in Düsseldorf have many years of experience in performing microtherapeutic procedures. Statistics show that 65-90% of treated patients experience significant pain relief. Many patients report a noticeable improvement in their quality of life and a reduction in their pain medication.
