ORTHO BALANCE
Redefining Orthopedics

Our Philosophy

We endeavor to break new ground with each of our patients, that is, we view each patient as unique with unique problems in need of unique solutions. Our emphasis is on holistic and sustainable orthopedic treatment, rather than simply treating symptoms or relying on surgical operations.

As our name, “Ortho Balance,” implies our firm belief is that complaints and pain can only be treated successfully and permanently when the entire musculoskeletal system, muscles and joints are in balance, i.e. in “BALANCE.” If this equilibrium has been lost, we speak of an “imbalance,” which results in functional disorders, which, in turn, lead to pain, overload and, in the worst case, irreversible damage and wear and tear.

Our Goal

It is our goal to restore your “balance.” Pain and movement disorders are often just symptoms of a functional disorder or muscular imbalance. The cause of this disorder is not always to be found in the region where the complaints are expressed. With a holistic view of your musculoskeletal system, we are able to precisely identify the cause of each patient’s complaints and administer individualized therapy. In this way we can successfully treat each patient with an individualized approach and, in most cases, before additional problems or wear and tear occur.

Our Method

The guiding principle of our orthopedic practice is simple. We do not just treat the pain, but instead, consider the entire body as a “functional unit,” part of our “balancing” concept. To accomplish this, our first step is to conduct a precise and detailed analysis and examination of each patient. In addition to the usual examination methods such as X-rays, ultrasound and MRT, we use state-of-the-art analysis and measurement methods to detect precisely and within millimeters of precision the source of posture deficits and functional disorders. In this way, we can establish a successful, individualized treatment plan for each patient.
