Sports Medicine
Exercise and sporting activities keep us fit, strengthen the cardiovascular system and prevent illness. Unfortunately, however, anyone who stresses his or her body also increases his or her own risk of injury. When an injury occurs, fast, targeted and holistic therapy is the most important component. At Clinic Bel Etage, our specialists work closely together to offer you a wide range of treatments.
Diagnostics and targeted therapy
Which therapy promises the greatest success after a sports accident must be decided on an individual basis. Thus, the right diagnostics is crucial to ensure that the patient is able to perform his or her sport again to the full extent in a sustainable and nevertheless quick manner. If there is a possibility to treat the injury conservatively, this option is our first choice. In the case of serious incidents, however, the only option is often surgical intervention. At Clinic Bel Etage, a large number of experts work to offer you a goal-oriented therapy that exactly fits you and your symptoms.
Conservative treatments
A large number of different injuries means a wide range of treatment options. Conservative treatment of sports injuries is an important component of sports medicine and in many cases can resolve the present complaints. These treatment points mainly involve the practice of physiotherapeutic exercises, massages and strength training. At Clinic Bel Etage, we take care of setting up a suitable physio program and carry it out together with you. In close cooperation with our sports orthopedists, our physiotherapists will get you back in shape. The physiotherapeutic content we offer is usefully supplemented by modern aids such as our SensoBoards.
Surgical treatments
If conservative treatment is no longer sufficient after a sports accident or many years of overuse, surgical intervention is often the only way to restore quality of life. Even in the case of surgery, we are careful to proceed as gently as possible and to use modern techniques for the benefit of our patients. Our experts will explain to you in detail which options are available for your injury during their on-site consultation hours.
