Dr. Sergej Thiele

Central to our work is the individual, whom we regard holistically. Diagnostics, conservative and surgical therapy of the locomotor system are the cornerstones of our endeavor. We also have a special focus on Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and one of the greatest advantages of this therapy, which is renowned worldwide today, is that in contrast to an operation it involves almost no risks or complications. Dr. Sergej Thiele and the incredible team strive to help their patients on a daily basis.

Shockwaves are simply sound waves. When inflamed or sick cells come in contact with them, neurotransmitters which promote the healing process in the inflamed area are released. Severely hardened tissues or calcifications can be induced to disintegrate.

In 1–3 sessions over a course of about three weeks, the body part in question is treated with 1000–1400 shockwave pulses. Depending on the severity and location of the problem, this treatment may be performed with or without local anesthesia. Non-healing bone fractures often need to be treated under brief general anesthesia.

We can treat the following chronic and therapy-resistant ailments ambulatorily – no surgery – with musculoskeletal shockwave therapy (ESWT):

• shoulder calcification

• tennis elbow

• golfer’s elbow

• heel spur

• achilles tendonitis

• non-healing bone fractures

Appointments are available by phone and are scheduled individually to allow for sufficient consultation time.

The costs are covered by private insurance, social assistance and workers’ compensation.
