Many complaints of the musculoskeletal system can usually be treated without surgery. This applies, for example, to joint pain, back pain, tendon irritation, osteoarthritis, muscle complaints or recurring overuse problems.
At MVZ VITALIS in Berlin-Buckow, we offer various conservative procedures based on a diagnosis. They can help to relieve pain, take strain off irritated structures, improve mobility and, in many cases, avoid or delay surgery.
Overview of our conservative treatments
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be used as a complementary treatment for selected pain complaints, such as back, joint or muscle complaints. It can help to relieve pain, influence muscular tension and support the body's own regulation.
Osteoarthritis Treatment
Osteoarthritis develops when the joint cartilage increasingly wears down. Common complaints include start-up pain, stiffness, pain under strain and restricted mobility. Conservative osteoarthritis treatment aims to reduce irritation, relieve complaints and maintain the function of the joint for as long as possible.
Chiropractic / Manual Therapy
Chiropractic and manual therapy can be considered for functional blockages, restricted movement and muscle-related complaints. Targeted manual techniques can mobilize joints and improve impaired movement patterns.
Hyaluronic Acid Therapy
Hyaluronic acid injections can be used for certain forms of osteoarthritis, for example in the knee, hip or other joints. The aim is to support joint function, reduce friction and relieve inflammatory irritation.
Kinesio Taping
Kinesio tape can be used as a supportive measure for muscle complaints, overuse, irritation or mild instability. It accompanies movements, can relieve strained structures and improve body awareness.
Orthopedic Aids
Orthopedic aids such as insoles, orthoses, supports or shoe modifications can help to reduce incorrect loading, stabilize joints and relieve complaints in everyday life. At MVZ VITALIS, our specialists advise you on which care is medically appropriate.
Osteoporosis Treatment
In osteoporosis, bone density decreases. This increases the risk of fractures, especially of the spine, hip or wrist. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to reduce the risk of fractures and support bone health.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy can be used for pain, tension, restricted movement or after injuries. Depending on the findings, heat, cold, electrotherapy or other physical applications may be considered.
PRP / ACP Therapy
In PRP or ACP therapy, the body's own components are prepared from the blood and applied in a targeted manner. The treatment can be considered for certain tendon complaints, irritation or osteoarthritis and can support regeneration processes in the tissue.
Pain Therapy
For chronic, recurring or complex pain, targeted pain therapy can be useful. The course of the pain, possible causes, mobility and everyday situation are considered in order to define suitable treatment steps.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is often used for chronic tendon and overuse complaints, such as heel spurs, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, Achilles tendon irritation or calcific shoulder. High-energy sound waves can stimulate blood circulation and the body's own healing processes in the irritated tissue.
Spinal Infiltration / PRT
For certain types of back pain or radiating complaints, targeted treatment of the spine may be an option. In spinal infiltration or PRT, medication is applied under imaging control to irritated nerve roots or painful structures.
Diagnostics as the basis of conservative treatment
Conservative orthopedics begins with classifying the complaints as precisely as possible. In addition to the medical history and physical examination, ultrasound, digital X-ray, MRI, bone density measurement, osteoporosis diagnostics or gait and movement analysis may be useful depending on the situation.
Diagnostics help to distinguish between similar symptoms. Knee pain, for example, can originate from the joint itself, from tendons, muscles, incorrect loading or from neighboring areas of the body. The more precisely the cause is identified, the more targeted the treatment can be planned.
Therapy with a view to everyday life and strain
Sensible conservative treatment also depends on how much the complaints affect everyday life, work, sport or sleep. That is why we take mobility, resilience, pre-existing conditions and personal goals into account when planning therapy.
If conservative measures do not help sufficiently or surgery should be considered, we will discuss this openly with you. The aim is then to explain the next steps clearly and to decide together which treatment is medically appropriate.
