Orthopedic Surgeon in Mammolshain
Mammolshain is located on the southern slopes of the Taunus Mountains, just a few minutes’ drive from Dr. Eduard Chen’s private orthopedic practice in Kronberg. Anyone who lives or works here and is struggling with back, knee, or shoulder pain doesn’t have to put up with a long commute. Dr. Chen combines modern diagnostics with gentle, conservative treatment methods and develops a personalized treatment plan for each patient.
Staying Mobile on the Southern Slope of the Taunus Mountains
Mammolshain has been a neighborhood of Königstein im Taunus since 1972 and has retained its village-like character. About 1,900 people live here, surrounded by old chestnut trees that have been documented since 1756 and continue to shape the town’s appearance to this day. Anyone who cycles through the village is familiar with the steep hill that the “Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn-Frankfurt” bike race passes once a year. Such inclines put a strain on the knees and hips, just like the forest trails on the southern slope of the Taunus, which many residents use for jogging or hiking. Others commute from Mammolshain to work in the Rhine-Main region and spend most of their day sitting at a desk. Both types of strain—excessive physical exertion and prolonged sitting in one position—lead to similar orthopedic complaints: tense shoulders, a sore lower back, and irritated knees. Dr. Chen is familiar with these patterns from his many years of practice in Kronberg and treats them conservatively. Surgery does not have to be the first step.
Schedule an appointmentUnderstanding Pain Correctly
A twinge in the back after a day of gardening, a knee that acts up when climbing stairs, a shoulder that’s almost impossible to rotate at night: Such symptoms rarely develop overnight. They are usually caused by wear and tear, muscular imbalances, or poor posture that has developed over the years. That’s why Dr. Chen examines not only the painful area but the entire musculoskeletal system—from the alignment of the feet to the spine. Based on a thorough medical history and orthopedic examination, he develops a treatment plan tailored to the individual’s specific situation. Not every diagnosis requires the same treatment. This is precisely what distinguishes a careful investigation of the underlying cause from a quick treatment of symptoms.

SpineMED
During SpineMED therapy, you lie on a computer-controlled treatment table that monitors and gently stretches the spine. This decompression reduces pressure on the intervertebral disc and creates space for the regeneration of tissue and nerve structures. The procedure is primarily used to treat herniated discs and chronic back pain.
Chiropractic Therapy
Using targeted manual techniques, Dr. Chen releases blockages in the spine and joints. Chiropractic therapy restores mobility and brings the musculoskeletal system back into balance. Many patients feel the effects after just the first treatment.
Acupuncture
Fine needles inserted at specific points on the body influence pain perception and stimulate the body’s natural regulatory processes. Dr. Chen uses this method from traditional Chinese medicine as a complementary approach to conventional orthopedics, particularly for recurrent or chronic conditions.
MBST – Therapeutic Magnetic Resonance
MBST therapy uses a special magnetic field, similar to an MRI, but without imaging. It stimulates biophysical processes in damaged tissue and is used to treat osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and intervertebral disc damage.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
High-energy pressure waves are directed from outside the body at the affected tissue. Shockwave therapy is effective for tennis elbow, heel spurs, and calcific tendinitis of the shoulder; it stimulates blood flow and can dissolve calcifications.
Local Injections
When injected directly into painful joints, nerve roots, or tendon insertions, anti-inflammatory medications often relieve pain within a short period of time. This lays the groundwork for further conservative treatment steps.
Sports Medicine
Whether it’s a mountain stage on a road bike or a trail run on the slopes of the Taunus: Dr. Chen treats sports injuries and overuse injuries with the goal of getting you safely back to training and your daily routine. This also includes analyzing improper biomechanics that trigger the symptoms in the first place.
Consultation on Surgical Procedures
The practice does not perform surgeries itself. If surgery is medically necessary, Dr. Chen will openly discuss the options with you and refer you to specialized clinics in the region. The practice has deliberately set this boundary: the focus is on what can be achieved without surgery. In cases of severe conditions, however, this alone is not always sufficient.
