About the Department of Spine Surgery at ATOS Orthopedic Clinic Braunfels

The Department of Spinal Surgery at the ATOS Orthopedic Clinic Braunfels specializes in the surgical treatment of degenerative disorders and hereditary diseases of all parts of the spine (scoliosis, kyphosis, malformations), as well as in the treatment of spinal trauma after accidents (fractures, dislocations). Along with surgical treatment, Dr. med. Luis Ferraris, chief physician of the department, is recognized as an expert in the conservative treatment of deformities and degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system. 

Thanks to research activities, an international network of professional contacts and membership in a number of societies, doctors of the department constantly offer the latest diagnostic and therapeutic methods in spine surgery. The nursing staff of the department also regularly undergoes advanced training. In addition to high professional competence, priority is given to friendly, trusting treatment of patients, which contributes to the development of an individually adapted treatment program for each patient.

In particular, the department specializes in treatment of herniated discs and spinal stenosis. In particular,  herniated intervertebral discs can be treated both conservatively and surgically. If conservative measures fail to achieve improvement, the protruding tissues of the intervertebral disc are removed. Then there is the possibility of treatment by making a fusion between the vertebrae or using an artificial prosthesis.

The service range of the department covers such therapeutic possibilities:

  • Conservative treatment for wear: physiotherapy
  • Minimally invasive pain therapy
  • Spinal fusion (spondylodesis) in herniated intervertebral discs of the cervical spine
  • Prosthesis of intervertebral discs in cervical spine disc prolapse
  • Surgical treatment of spinal stenosis 
  • Treatment of fractures, deformations (scoliosis, kyphosis) in adolescents and adults: 
    • Conservative therapy 
    • Surgical treatment 
    • Revision operations / second opinion before spinal surgery
  • Other treatment options in the field of back and spinal column surgery
