Treatment Focus Area: Sports Orthopaedics

(Sports) Orthopaedics with Specialist Clinics

Sports injuries and chronic conditions can significantly limit your physical activity. At our sports orthopaedic practice in Hamburg, we treat both acute and chronic joint injuries and musculoskeletal complaints. These include groin pain, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, as well as shoulder conditions such as recurrent instability or rotator cuff tears. Another key focus is disorders of bone metabolism, including osteoporosis.In our specialist clinics, we carefully assess which anatomical structures are affected and develop an individualised treatment plan aimed at enabling a rapid and safe return to sport.

Radial & Focused Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is particularly suitable for chronic conditions that do not respond sufficiently to conventional treatments. At our practice in Hamburg, we offer both radial and focused shockwave therapy.While radial shockwave therapy works over a larger area and has proven effective for muscular tension or painful tendon insertions, focused shockwave therapy allows for precise treatment of deeper tissue structures. It is commonly used for persistent heel spurs, Achilles tendon disorders, or calcific shoulder tendinitis.

Magnetic Field Therapy

Magnetic field therapy supports the healing process by improving blood circulation and stimulating tissue metabolism. It is primarily used for chronic pain, joint degeneration (osteoarthritis), or delayed bone healing.In sports injuries, magnetic field therapy can also accelerate recovery and reduce inflammation. At our Hamburg practice, we use this therapy as a gentle adjunct to established orthopaedic treatment methods. Together, we will discuss whether magnetic field therapy is suitable for you as a standalone treatment or in combination with other therapies.

Gait Analysis

Pain while walking, recurrent injuries, or problems following surgery may be caused by an altered gait pattern. Using computer-assisted gait analysis at our practice in Hamburg, we can precisely identify abnormalities in posture, stride mechanics, or load distribution.Depending on the findings, various treatment options may be considered, including custom orthotic insoles to correct foot alignment, targeted physiotherapy programmes, injection therapies, or surgical correction.

Autologous Blood Therapy (ACP/PRP)

Autologous blood therapy harnesses the body’s own healing potential to regenerate damaged tissue. A concentrate rich in growth factors is obtained from a small blood sample and injected directly into the affected area.At our Hamburg practice, autologous blood therapy is used to treat tendon and joint disorders, osteoarthritis, and sports injuries such as muscle or ligament damage. For example, treatment of the knee joint can stimulate cartilage metabolism and support cartilage regeneration. Since only the patient’s own biological material is used, the risk of adverse reactions is virtually eliminated.
