Conservative Approach – Avoiding Surgery
"Our goal is to pursue a conservative approach and avoid surgery whenever possible."
Our primary objective is to avoid surgery whenever possible. Surgical procedures carry significant risks: infection, bleeding, nerve damage, and a failure rate of 10-40% in back surgery.
With innovative conservative treatments such as cryotherapy, SpineMed, PRP and shockwave therapy, we achieve comparable or superior results to surgery in most cases.
A Sports Doctor Who Understands Athletes
"As a qualified sports scientist and passionate athlete myself, I understand the problems that competitive athletes face."
As a Diplom-Sportlehrer (qualified sports scientist) and active athlete, I do not merely treat sports injuries – I understand them from personal experience. As a cyclist, runner and passionate sportsman, I know the physical and mental demands of competitive sport.
This unique perspective allows me to:
- Understand the urgency of returning to sport quickly
- Identify biomechanical causes of injuries
- Design sport-specific rehabilitation programmes
- Optimise performance whilst preventing injuries
Mallorca is Europe's number one sports destination. Hundreds of thousands of cyclists, runners, golfers and tennis players visit the island annually. I offer specialised sports medicine for all these sports.
Private Practice – Personal Care
As a private practice (Privatpraxis), we offer:
- Personal attention: Sufficient time for each patient (30-60 minutes per consultation)
- No waiting lists: Appointments available within days, not months
- Continuity of care: The same doctor at every appointment
- State-of-the-art technology: Investment in equipment that public clinics do not have
- Holistic approach: Time to address all your health concerns
Philosophy: Conventional Medicine + Complementary Medicine
Our philosophy combines the best of both worlds:
Conventional Medicine
- Precise diagnostics with advanced technology
- Evidence-based treatments
- Surgery when it is absolutely necessary
Complementary Medicine
- Acupuncture: Traditional Chinese Medicine
- Manual medicine: Chiropractic therapy, osteopathy
- Orthomolecular medicine: Nutritional optimisation
- Holistic pain therapy: Comprehensive pain management
This multimodal and holistic approach treats the whole person, not merely the symptom.

Innovative Treatments
- Cryotherapy Chamber -110°C: Likely the only whole-body cryotherapy chamber in Mallorca
