Village Living
Working in the Rhine-Main region
Niederhöchstadt is a neighborhood of Eschborn, but it has retained its village-like character. About 6,900 people live here, most of them in single-family or two-family homes. Many of them commute to work in the Rhine-Main region. The town has been connected to the S-Bahn lines S3 and S4 since 1978, and since the late 1960s, a bypass has also helped relieve traffic on the historic main street. Anyone who commutes daily knows the consequences: long periods of sitting on the train or in the car, little physical activity, tense shoulders, and lower back pain. Others stay active at the Westerbach sports complex or by training with one of the local clubs—and come in with a different set of complaints: overexertion rather than a lack of exercise. Dr. Chen treats both conditions at his practice in Kronberg, just a few minutes from Niederhöchstadt.
Schedule an appointmentGet to the bottom of the cause
A stiff neck after commuting, a knee that hurts while jogging along the Westerbach, a shoulder that’s stiff in the morning: Such complaints rarely have a single cause. More often, they stem from muscular imbalances, wear and tear, or poor posture that has become ingrained over the years. That’s why Dr. Chen examines the entire musculoskeletal system, not just the area where it hurts. Based on a thorough medical history and orthopedic examination, he develops a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s individual situation. In most cases, surgery isn’t necessary.

SpineMED
In the SpineMED procedure, a computer-controlled treatment table gently and controlledly stretches the spine. This relief reduces pressure on the intervertebral disc and supports its regeneration, offering a non-surgical approach to herniated discs and chronic back pain.
Chiropractic Therapy
Dr. Chen uses targeted manual techniques to relieve functional disorders and blockages in the spine and joints. Chiropractic therapy improves mobility and reduces pain, with noticeable results often after just a few sessions.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into specific points and influences pain processing and the body’s natural regulatory mechanisms. Dr. Chen uses it as a complementary treatment to conventional orthopedics, particularly for chronic or recurring conditions.
MBST – Therapeutic Magnetic Resonance
Without surgery or radiation exposure, MBST therapy uses a special magnetic field to trigger regenerative processes in damaged tissue. It is used to treat osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and intervertebral disc damage.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
Focused pressure waves are directed from outside the body at the affected tissue, stimulating blood flow and metabolism. Shock wave therapy helps treat tennis elbow, heel spurs, and calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, often after just a few treatments.
Local Injections
Dr. Chen administers anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving medications via injection directly to the affected area—whether it be a joint, nerve root, or tendon insertion. The pain often subsides quickly, which facilitates further conservative treatment.
Sports Medicine
Whether you’re training at the Westerbach Sports Complex or going for a run on the weekend, Dr. Chen treats sports injuries and overuse injuries with the goal of ensuring a safe return to exercise and competition. This also includes analyzing movement patterns that contribute to these injuries.
Consultation on Surgical Procedures
The practice does not perform surgeries itself. If a surgical procedure appears medically necessary, Dr. Chen openly explains the benefits and risks and refers patients to appropriate hospitals. Conservative treatment is sufficient for most conditions; however, in individual cases with severe symptoms, surgery is unavoidable.
