How Dr. Chen Addresses Pain
Back pain after sitting for long periods, stiff knees when climbing stairs, or sudden pain in the shoulders and neck—musculoskeletal issues can manifest in many different ways. The triggers are just as varied: wear and tear, poor posture, muscular imbalances, or overexertion in daily life and during sports are all possible causes. As an experienced orthopedic surgeon in Schwalbach, Dr. Chen knows exactly how, when, and where your pain occurs. Based on this, your personalized treatment plan is developed, which is deliberately conservative in approach. This means that all non-surgical options are exhausted first, rather than immediately considering surgery.
Schedule an appointmentTherapeutic Methods for Schwalbach
SpineMED
SpineMED therapy focuses on relieving pressure on damaged intervertebral discs. Using a specially designed treatment table, the spine is gently and computer-controlled stretched, reducing pressure inside the intervertebral discs and promoting regeneration.
Chiropractic Therapy
Chiropractic therapy is used to manually treat blockages and functional disorders of the spine and joints. Through targeted manual techniques, pain can be relieved, tension reduced, and range of motion restored.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture, a technique from traditional Chinese medicine, is used specifically in Dr. Chen’s practice to support orthopedic treatment. By inserting fine needles into selected points, the body’s own mechanisms involved in pain perception and regulation can be influenced.
MBST – Therapeutic Magnetic Resonance
MBST magnetic resonance therapy utilizes physical effects similar to those found in MRI technology—but without imaging. Instead, specific areas of the body are treated with a special magnetic field to stimulate biophysical processes in damaged cells. The goal is to noticeably reduce symptoms associated with conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, or intervertebral disc damage.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy uses pressure waves that are transmitted from outside the body to the affected tissue. This method can be used, particularly for persistent tendon attachment issues such as tennis elbow, heel spurs, or calcific tendinitis of the shoulder, to address calcifications, stimulate metabolic processes, and thereby promote the body’s natural healing process.
Local Injections
In local infiltrations, medications—such as anti-inflammatory agents or local anesthetics—are injected directly into painful structures such as joints, nerve roots, or tendons. In many cases, this procedure serves as a component of a comprehensive conservative treatment plan.
Sports Medicine
Sports medicine provides support for acute injuries, overuse injuries, and conditions related to physical activity. The goal is to gently rebuild physical capacity and enable a safe return to movement, training, and sports.
Consultation on Surgical Procedures
Sometimes, as treatment progresses, it becomes apparent that surgery may be advisable or even necessary. Thanks to his many years of experience, Dr. Chen can refer patients from Schwalbach to appropriate specialized clinics and colleagues and provide them with guidance throughout the process.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about orthopedics in Schwalbach
What treatments does Dr. Chen offer to patients from Schwalbach?
Dr. Eduard Chen’s practice offers a wide range of conservative therapies. These include, among others, SpineMED therapy to relieve pressure on the intervertebral discs, chiropractic therapy, acupuncture, MBST magnetic resonance therapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), targeted injections into painful structures, and sports medicine. Which procedures are appropriate in each individual case is determined jointly following a thorough examination.
Does Dr. Chen's practice also perform surgeries?
No, Dr. Chen’s private orthopedic practice does not perform surgical procedures. The focus is deliberately on conservative orthopedics—that is, on non-surgical treatment options. If surgery appears medically necessary, Dr. Chen will discuss the various options with you and recommend specialized clinics and surgeons in the Schwalbach area.
What kinds of symptoms can I come to the office for?
Many patients from Schwalbach visit the practice for back and neck pain, disc problems, osteoarthritis, joint pain in the knees, hips, or shoulders, tendon irritation (e.g., tennis elbow, Achilles tendon), or sports-related injuries. Dr. Chen is also the right choice if you’re experiencing long-standing pain with no clear cause or recurring discomfort in your daily life.
Do I need a referral to make an appointment?
You can usually contact the private orthopedic practice directly—a referral is generally not required. Simply schedule your appointment by phone or online through Doctolib. If your primary care physician has already issued a referral, you are, of course, welcome to bring it with you.
When should I start considering surgery if conservative treatments aren't enough?
Whether surgery is appropriate depends on your individual findings. As a general rule, Dr. Chen first attempts to treat your symptoms with appropriate conservative measures. Only if significant pain or limitations persist despite tailored treatment, or if certain diagnostic findings clearly indicate the need for surgery, will surgery be considered—and then discussed with you at your convenience.
Does Dr. Chen also treat physically active people from Schwalbach?
Yes, thanks to his experience in sports medicine, Dr. Chen regularly treats recreational and amateur athletes from Schwalbach and the surrounding area—such as runners, cyclists, and gym-goers. In addition to treating acute injuries, his work also focuses on prevention, adjusting training regimens, and ensuring a safe return to sports and physical activity after an injury.
