Spine Doctor in Stolberg

Your Trusted Spine Doctor in Stolberg

Finding the right "Spine Doctor" means finding a partner in your health journey. Pain is a personal experience, and diagnosis is the most critical step in alleviating it. In my practice in Stolberg, I emphasize a thorough, empathetic diagnostic process that listens to your story before looking at your MRI.

My approach is strictly "Conservative First." Surgery is a powerful tool, but it is rarely the first option. Following the National Disease Management Guidelines (NVL) for Low Back Pain, we exhaust all non-invasive therapies—including medication, physiotherapy, and infiltration therapy—before considering an operation.

A Patient-Centered Diagnostic Approach

Understanding the root cause of your pain is key. We utilize advanced imaging and clinical examination to distinguish between:

• Mechanical Pain: Often caused by instability or muscle imbalance.
• Neuropathic Pain: Caused by nerve compression (e.g., sciatica).
• Inflammatory Pain: Related to conditions like arthritis or spondylodiscitis.

Pain Management & Long-Term Relief

Chronic pain requires a specialized approach. We work closely with recommendations from the German Pain Society to ensure that pain management is safe and effective. If surgery becomes necessary, I explain the "Why," "How," and "What to Expect" in clear, understandable language, ensuring you feel confident and secure in your decision.
