Specialists in Minimally Invasive Pain Management in Düsseldorf
Pain is a daily affliction for many people. Chronic pain, in particular, severely limits the quality of life in many areas. Every movement becomes torture, the social environment shrinks, and even simple everyday tasks can become challenging. At the end of a long journey of suffering, they are told that they have exhausted all treatment options.
But often, help is still possible. The physicians at the pain center of the Clinic Bel Etage in Düsseldorf use their extensive experience to investigate the causes of the pain and treat it effectively and precisely. To this end, the specialists from the various departments work hand in hand and accompany each patient throughout the entire treatment.
If it is not possible to treat the cause, the most modern methods of chronic pain treatment are used. These include innovative approaches such as medicated and physical pain therapy (electrical nerve stimulation), microtherapy, neuromodulation, implantable drug pumps, and plasmapheresis. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life and return to an active life.
Finally Free of Pain – Innovative Therapies for Back and Neck Pain
Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons for consulting a physician today. A vicious circle of pain and lack of movement develops. The individual treatment of the symptoms is of the utmost importance.
Alongside various medication and physical treatment options, there is also the option of microtherapy. This allows the affected joints, intervertebral discs, or nerves to be reached in a targeted and gentle way and the source of the pain to be treated using minimally invasive measures. The treating team uses the thinnest of needles to guide the patient to the source of the pain with the help of a CT to enable the precise application of a highly effective painkiller.
Facet Syndrome – Free of Pain Thanks to Heat
Facet syndrome of the spine is associated with degeneration of the small vertebral joints and abrasion of the cushioning cartilage layer. These changes can lead to severe pain in the back or extremities and significantly impair the quality of life of those affected.
The pain must be treated effectively to avoid a lack of movement and muscle atrophy. Pain receptors can be targeted and obliterated using a minimally invasive heat treatment known as thermocoagulation. The pain stops, or there is a significant and long-term symptom improvement.
Chronic Pain Syndromes
The treatment of chronic pain is a significant challenge not only for patients but also for the treating physicians. In addition to a long journey of suffering, frustration is a constant companion – the pain is not getting any less, and the therapy has severe side effects.
Neuromodulation is an alternative therapy that can often treat pain better than medication - and without side effects!
The great advantage is that the success of this minimally invasive procedure can be tested in advance. A tiny pacemaker is only placed under the skin to permanently relieve the pain if the pain is significantly reduced by more than 50%. And for the patient, a new phase of life begins with a substantially better quality of life.
Restless Leg Syndrome
For many patients, every night becomes a test of patience – their sleep is interrupted or does not even set in. Only the constant movement of the legs or strong psychotropic drugs, often associated with severe side effects, help.
If the medical treatment has been exhausted, the Clinic Bel Etage in Düsseldorf, one of the few clinics in Germany, offers very effective minimally invasive solutions. Sleep returns to normal through a tiny pacemaker, and the medication can often be discontinued.
PAD & Raynaud's Disease (Circulatory Disorders & White Finger Disease)
The so-called "window-shopping disease" has its causes in the vessels of the legs or the spine. Both result in a massive reduction in walking distance and quality of life. Raynaud's syndrome, which causes pain and paralysis of the hands in cold weather, has similar causes.
Treatment is often conservative or involves significant surgery. However, treatment using minimally invasive neuromodulation is often more effective and gentler for many patients. Medication can be discontinued in most cases, and patients can lead an active life again.
Pain After Surgery
Surgery is often the last hope for many patients suffering from pain. However, the surgeon can only operate on the findings. If the pain is already chronic, complex pain management is required.
The experienced physicians at the Clinic Bel Etage specialize in treating these challenging cases. The therapy of pain memory is interdisciplinary and individual for each patient. It covers the entire pain therapy spectrum, from medication to neuromodulation, which can ultimately lead to a significant and lasting improvement in the quality of life.
Polyneuropathy – Tingling and Burning Hands and Feet
Many patients suffer from pain and burning tingling in the feet and hands. The complaints worsen towards evening, and sleep is out of the question. The causes vary, and treatment is complex as the medications usually have significant side effects.
Many patients are unaware that there are excellent and gentle therapy alternatives. Clinic Bel Etage in Düsseldorf is one of the few clinics in Germany to offer minimally invasive solutions. A tiny pacemaker fitted under the skin provides a significantly improved quality of life without side effects.
