SPINAL SURGERY – TREATING BACK PAIN SUCCESSFULLY
Almost everyone is familiar with back pain. Conservative methods help to alleviate it. At the ETHIANUM Heidelberg, we offer our clients an ideal basis for reliable diagnosis and treatment of all spinal disorders by combining orthopaedic and neurosurgical expertise.
In addition to surgical treatment methods, there are also conservative methods for relieving back pain. Painkillers and physiotherapy often help. Weight loss and exercise also help to improve the mobility of the vertebrae. And if spinal surgery is necessary, then only after a thorough diagnosis and with a specialist.

The spinal specialist also treats spinal canal stenosis and deformities, as well as complicated damage and changes to the spinal cord caused by tumour diseases, for example.
