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.

Our practice is equipped with cutting-edge technology:

Innovative Treatments

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

This is particularly important for:
