Prof. Dr. med. Karsten Dreinhöfer
Department of Orthopedic Rehabilitation
Specialized in: orthopedic rehabilitation About the Department of Orthopedic Rehabilitation at Rehabilitation Clinic Medical Park Humboldtmuehle Berlin
According to the Focus magazine, the Department of Orthopedic Rehabilitation at the Rehabilitation Clinic Medical Park Humboldtmuehle Berlin ranks among the top medical facilities in Germany in the field of its competence! The department provides comprehensive diagnostics of the musculoskeletal system and the full range of rehabilitation services to restore the mobility of patients after orthopedic diseases and musculoskeletal injuries, including sports injuries, surgical interventions on the bones, joints, tendons and muscles. The specialists of the medical facility are convinced that a full recovery is possible only with the development of a high-quality individual rehabilitation program with particular goals. The department's medical team strives to restore the lost functions of the musculoskeletal system as much as possible. For this purpose, doctors use modern rehabilitation techniques: physiotherapy, physical therapy, therapeutic exercises, occupational therapy and others. The department has all the necessary technical resources, including swimming pools and specially equipped rooms with professional fitness equipment. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Karsten Dreinhöfer.
When the patient is admitted to the department, he has an individual consultation with the attending physician, who studies his medical history, carries out a clinical examination and determines the necessary set of diagnostic tests to assess the rehabilitation potential and develop the most effective rehabilitation regimen. The diagnostic examination involves classical X-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, C-arm X-ray, bone mineral density measurement (DXA), joint and soft tissue ultrasound scanning, 4D spine and posture analysis, gait analysis, spiroergometry, laboratory tests, etc. The doctor determines specific diagnostic appointments based on the patient's clinical case.
The rehabilitation program for patients who have suffered orthopedic diseases and injuries usually includes Bobath therapy, Vojta therapy, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, manual therapy, physiotherapy (massage, thermal procedures, cryotherapy, electrotherapy, electrical stimulation, etc.), therapeutic exercises (medical training therapy, special training to restore walking, treadmill training, aqua aerobics, etc.), special training complexes aimed at restoring lost self-care skills, occupational therapy. Many patients who have partially or totally lost motor functions or experience severe pain due to orthopedic pathology often experience depression, so psychological care is an integral part of treatment as well. The patients also receive care from the qualified nutritionists, since a sedentary lifestyle after an injury or surgery can provoke weight gain. In addition, the department's specialists successfully carry out comprehensive treatment of chronic back pain, including physiotherapy procedures and minimally invasive X-ray- or CT-guided infiltration procedures.
The department is located in a picturesque area, surrounded by Lake Tegel and green spaces, so patients are happy to walk around the clinic, enjoying the calmness and beauty of nature. The healing properties of nature have a positive effect on the recovery process and allow the patient to find peace of mind, get rid of experiences and set up for a positive mood.
