About the department

The Department of Adult and Pediatric Spinal Surgery, Scoliosis Treatment at the Werner Wicker Clinic Bad Wildungen offers the full range of services in these areas. The department is one of the largest and most successful medical facilities of its kind in Europe. The department's team of spinal surgeons treats various spinal diseases, ranging from scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal fractures to spinal degenerative diseases and spinal tumors. The department performs about 1,500 major surgical interventions on the spine every year. The team of doctors at the facility works closely with experts in the field of neurology and radiology. The department is headed by Dr. med. Axel Hempfing.

The patients of the department undergo the comprehensive diagnostics, the results of which are the basis for developing an effective treatment regimen. The diagnostic capabilities include computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, classical X-ray studies, electroencephalography, electromyography, ultrasound scans, electrophysiological tests and other methods.

The priority focus of clinical practice is conservative and surgical treatment of scoliosis. The department's experience in this field is over 30 years. The patients with scoliosis are consulted in a special outpatient clinic. In addition, the department has its own workshop for the manufacture of corsets for the correction of scoliosis according to the individual parameters of the patient. If invasive intervention is necessary, then modern surgical techniques are used. The operations are usually performed at the age of about 14 years. In case of congenital scoliosis, surgery can be performed at an earlier age to prevent further progression of spinal curvature. Some patients with juvenile idiopathic scoliosis may be offered a surgical procedure to adapt the spinal column to body growth. It is worth noting that in 2011 the department became the first in Germany where the growing rod was applied.

The department also successfully treats spinal fractures using both conservative and surgical techniques. As a rule, the basis of conservative treatment is the use of special corsets. If surgical treatment is necessary, the surgeons perform complex operations, for example, the intervention with the removal of the destroyed vertebral body and its replacement with a titanium stabilizing cage. In many cases, after the fracture is fused, the implant can be removed. Thus, the surgeons manage to achieve mobility of the damaged spine.

The department has a special multimodal pain therapy program for patients with chronic back pain. The course of treatment is designed for 15 days. It includes medical measures, psychotherapeutic assistance, physiotherapy, ergotherapy, etc. This unique approach to the treatment of chronic back pain allows to achieve the excellent results and significantly improve the quality of life of patients.
