Treatment of sports injuries
Sports injuries can affect anyone – experienced professional and competitive athletes as well as recreational sportspeople. To enable them to return to sporting activities as quickly as possible, the rapid diagnosis and immediate treatment of injuries is vitally important.
In the case of a musculoskeletal injury or disease, we draw up a personal treatment plan for each patient. For this we use the latest forms of therapy, including those which promote healing through biological means.
Our sports doctors and sports physiotherapy team work closely together and regularly share their expertise with one another. Our aim is to achieve an optimal treatment outcome so that patients can regain their «health» – using the gentlest possible therapies with the lowest possible risk.
Many diseases and therapies can be treated without surgery. Should an operation be required, however, experienced orthopaedic surgeons are available within our interdisciplinary team.
