Back Pain Palma de Mallorca
Lower back pain, herniated disc, sciatica. SpineMed, PRP, injections. Avoid surgery. English-speaking orthopaedic specialist Dr. Diedrich, 20+ years. Book now.
Diagnosing back pain begins with a detailed neurological examination. We assess muscle strength, reflexes, sensation and signs of nerve compression.
DIERS 4D posture analysis allows us to visualise postural imbalances and scoliosis without radiation. For herniated discs, MRI is the gold standard.
We differentiate between mechanical pain (improves with rest), inflammatory pain (worse at night) and neuropathic pain (tingling, burning). Each type requires a different therapeutic approach.
Our goal is to avoid back surgery whenever possible. The majority of herniated discs and lower back pain respond excellently to conservative treatment.
SpineMed is one therapeutic option for herniated discs and lower back pain. This computer-controlled spinal decompression system relieves pressure on discs and nerves non-surgically. Suitability is assessed individually.
Cryotherapy at -110°C is exceptional for acute lower back pain. It rapidly reduces inflammation and muscle spasm.
Image-guided epidural injections provide rapid relief for severe sciatica. Manual medicine corrects spinal blockages and improves mobility.
Back Pain Specialist in Palma de Mallorca
Back pain is the leading cause of sick leave worldwide. At our practice in Palma we treat everything from acute lower back pain to complex herniated discs with a conservative approach that avoids surgery in the vast majority of cases.
Types of Back Pain
- Mechanical low back pain: Muscular pain from overload or poor posture
- Herniated disc: Nerve compression with sciatica
- Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal
- Spondylolisthesis: Vertebral slippage
- Scoliosis: Lateral curvature of the spine
- Facet joint osteoarthritis: Degeneration of spinal joints
SpineMed for Herniated Disc
For herniated disc, sciatica or chronic lower back pain we may use SpineMed, a computer-controlled spinal decompression system. The procedure, indications, contraindications and clinical protocol are described on the dedicated SpineMed treatment page in Palma.
DIERS 4D Posture Analysis
The DIERS 4D system analyses your posture and gait in four dimensions without radiation. It identifies scoliosis, pelvic imbalances, muscular asymmetries and biomechanical problems when walking. This data allows us to design a targeted physiotherapy programme.
Cryotherapy for Acute Lower Back Pain
Whole-body cryotherapy is especially effective for acute lower back pain. Extreme cold at -110°C reduces muscle spasm, decreases inflammation, relieves pain rapidly and improves mobility.
Prevention
We teach you core stabilisation exercises, correct work ergonomics, proper lifting technique and specific stretches to prevent recurrence.
