About the Department of Orthopedic Rehabilitation at MEDIAN Rehabilitation Clinic Bad Gottleuba Berggiesshuebel

The Department of Orthopedic Rehabilitation at the MEDIAN Rehabilitation Clinic Berggiesshuebel offers a wide range of modern rehabilitation measures to relieve pain and eliminate movement disorders developed due to musculoskeletal diseases or injuries. Of particular interest is the rehabilitation treatment of arthritis, herniated disc, arthrosis and osteoporosis. The department admits many patients who had surgical interventions on the spine, joints, bone and muscle tissues. The department is headed by Dr. med. Karin Müller.

The rehabilitation is based on an integrated approach, which implies a competent combination of all available therapeutic methods to maximally restore the patient's mobility and independence in everyday life. When admitted to the department, the attending physician carefully studies the patient's medical history, carries out the necessary diagnostic tests to assess the severity of pathological changes and dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system, after which he elaborates an effective rehabilitation program with particular goals and terms of treatment. If the pathological lesions of the musculoskeletal system are not very serious and the patient's health condition allows for outpatient rehabilitation, the department's doctors prefer this treatment regimen, since it is quite difficult for some people to constantly stay in the hospital.

The main rehabilitation methods that the department successfully applies include therapeutic exercises, physiotherapy, massage, water aerobics, training on special exercise equipment, ergotherapy and others. During the entire period of rehabilitation, the rehabilitation therapists monitor and, if necessary, adjust the intensity of training – increase or decrease it. When undergoing orthopedic rehabilitation, many patients practically master gross motor skills from the very beginning and train to control their body. All the rehabilitation procedures are carried out under strict medical supervision, which eliminates any risks to the patient's health.

In addition to the specialists in therapeutic exercises, occupational therapy and physiotherapy, an experienced team of nutritionists works with the patients. They teach the patients how to cook healthy food in a special training kitchen. Since orthopedic diseases and injuries contribute to a sedentary lifestyle, the patients often become overweight or suffer from metabolic disorders. Therefore, a healthy and balanced diet is an integral part of comprehensive rehabilitation. A moderate weight also reduces load on joints and the entire musculoskeletal system. During orthopedic rehabilitation, the patients often manage to get rid of many chronic diseases, quit bad habits and start a healthy lifestyle.

The department specializes in the rehabilitation of patients after the following musculoskeletal diseases and injuries:

  • Degenerative diseases of the joints and spine (for example, arthrosis, spinal disc herniation)
  • Inflammatory diseases of the spine and joints (for example, ankylosing spondylitis, polyarthritis)
