Every back pain needs its own treatment

60 to 80 percent of all 30 to 60 year olds suffer from back pain. This pain is always uncomfortable, but harmless in most cases. An accurate diagnosis must be at the beginning of every treatment.

The Munich APEX Spine Center offers optimal care for all types of back pain from the cervical spine to the lumbar vertebrae: the center has renowned orthopaedists, neurosurgeons and accident specialists at its disposal. Every patient will find specialists of the highest level in one place. No patient needs to get caught up in a maze of medical professionals making different diagnoses in different places.

dr medical Michael D. Schubert, spine specialist and orthopedist, and Dr. medical Armin Helmbrecht, also a spine specialist and neurosurgeon, from the APEX Spine Center are among the world's best experts in their field.

dr Schubert: “The success of a treatment essentially depends on the correct indication. In order to decide in individual cases whether and which procedure is the best, the specialist medical expertise of the spine specialist is required. All of this is decided individually with the patient.”

In other words, overtreatment is just as unreasonable as undertreatment. If, after the precise diagnosis, injections are sufficient to eliminate the pain, even the most gentle, minimally invasive operation is not necessary. However, if an operation is necessary, APEX Spine offers the best options, from endoscopic technology to major open surgery.

dr According to studies, Schubert has a success rate of 95 percent for his endoscopic spinal operations. dr In recent years, Helmbrecht has modified, among other things, the rear access to the cervical spine - for the treatment of herniated discs and stenoses - to a finger-width access. Operations on the cervical spine are among the most sensitive in surgery.

dr Helmbrecht: “The patient's level of suffering is always a decisive factor in major operations. And it is crucial that he gets a good part of his quality of life back after treatment. Nowadays, people want to be active even in old age. Why shouldn't an 80-year-old play golf when we medical professionals can make sure his back doesn't hurt when he swings?"

APEX Spine offers - in one house - patients with back pain, slipped discs or stenosis the complete range of possible treatments: conservative therapy measures, endoscopic disc operations, disc plastic, disc prosthesis.
