Why the right treatment strategy is important
Pain in the musculoskeletal system can manifest in many different ways: sometimes as a dull ache in the lower back, sometimes as a sharp pain in the knee when climbing stairs, and sometimes as a stiff neck after a long day at the office. The causes are just as varied—ranging from worn-out intervertebral discs to poor posture and muscular imbalances, all the way to overexertion during sports or work, as many people in Oberhöchstadt are familiar with. In orthopedics, “conservative therapy” refers to all treatment methods that do not involve surgery. As an orthopedic surgeon near Oberhöchstadt, Dr. Chen takes the time to address your symptoms with patience and care, and develops a personalized treatment strategy for you using a variety of therapeutic approaches.

Modern orthopedics for Oberhöchstadt
SpineMED
SpineMED is a computer-controlled, non-surgical procedure in which the spine is gently stretched to reduce pressure on the intervertebral discs. For patients in Oberhöchstadt with chronic back or neck pain, this can be a gentle alternative to surgery.
Chiropractic Therapy
Chiropractic therapy uses special manual techniques to treat misalignments and blockages in the spine and joints. This can reduce pain, improve mobility, and provide long-lasting relief from muscle tension.
Acupuncture
Fine needles are used to stimulate specific points in order to positively influence pain perception and the body’s regulatory mechanisms. When combined with conventional orthopedic medicine, acupuncture can be a valuable adjunct, particularly for recurrent or chronic pain.
MBST – Therapeutic Magnetic Resonance
MBST magnetic resonance therapy uses a special magnetic field to stimulate biophysical processes in damaged or stressed tissues. It is used, among other things, to treat osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and intervertebral disc problems.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
ESWT uses high-energy pressure waves that are directed from outside the body at the painful area. This therapy can help reduce calcifications and support the body’s natural healing process, particularly in cases of persistent tendon attachment issues such as tennis elbow, heel spurs, or calcific tendinitis of the shoulder.
Local Injections
In local infiltrations, anti-inflammatory medications or local anesthetics are injected directly into painful structures, such as joints or nerve roots. This often provides rapid pain relief and lays the groundwork for further conservative treatment.
Sports Medicine
Sports medicine addresses injuries and ailments caused by training or physical exertion during sports. Through targeted therapy tailored to your specific sport, recovery is supported and the path back to a safe, pain-free level of activity is paved.
Consultation on Surgical Procedures
Surgeries are not performed at the practice itself, but Dr. Chen will provide you with detailed advice on the purpose, timing, and risks of a potential procedure. Thanks to his experience, he can refer patients from Oberhöchstadt to appropriate specialized clinics and colleagues in the region.
