Treatment of Back Pain
Comprehensive Pain Therapy for the Spine: Modern Approaches to Relieve Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common complaints that can affect people of all ages. Often, conventional treatments such as physiotherapy or anti-inflammatory medications are not sufficient. At Dolomed, we offer a wide range of therapy options to effectively treat back pain and improve our patients' quality of life. Our pain therapy for the spine includes various innovative methods that are individually tailored to your needs.
What is Pain Therapy for the Spine?
Pain therapy for the spine aims to relieve pain in the spinal area, for example, due to degenerative changes or a herniated disc, and to restore functionality. This includes both acute and chronic back pain and can combine various treatment methods to achieve optimal results. Often, with the help of good pain management, surgery can also be avoided.
Diagnostics and Preparation for Interventional Pain Therapy
Thorough diagnostics is the first step to successful pain therapy. At Dolomed, we use modern imaging techniques such as X-rays, MRI, and CT to identify the exact cause of back pain. Based on these diagnoses, we create an individualized treatment plan.
- Imaging Procedures: Use of X-rays, MRI, and CT for accurate diagnosis
- Medical History: Detailed recording of medical history and current complaints.
