Orthopedic diseases
Orthopedic diseases and therapy
What are orthopedic diseases?
Orthopedic diseases affect the musculoskeletal system—bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. They arise from wear and tear, inflammation, poor posture, or injury.
Common orthopedic diseases and their causes
- Osteoarthritis (joint wear)
- Wear and tear of the cartilage, pain and restricted movement
- Herniated disc / back pain
- Nerve irritation caused by displaced or damaged intervertebral discs
- Osteoporosis (bone loss)
- Reduced bone density, increased risk of fractures
- Rheumatoid arthritis (inflammatory joint disease)
- Autoimmune disease, leads to joint swelling & pain
- Tendonitis (tendinitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis)
- Overload or incorrect loading of tendons and muscles
- Fibromyalgia (chronic muscle pain)
- Pain throughout the body, often with exhaustion and sleep disturbances
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Pinched nerve in the wrist, numbness & pain
Holistic therapeutic approaches for orthopaedic diseases
1. Intra-articular & regenerative therapies
- Intra-articular ozone therapy (joint injection with ozone-oxygen mixture)
- Promotes cartilage regeneration and reduces inflammatory processes
- Supports joint lubrication and improves mobility
- PRP therapy (platelet-rich plasma – autologous blood injection into the joint)
- Regenerates damaged tissue through growth factors
- Promotes the formation of new cartilage cells
2. Ozone therapy for pain relief & regeneration
- Paravertebral ozone injections → Effective for herniated discs and chronic back pain
- Intramuscular ozone therapy → Relieves muscle tension & chronic pain
- Subcutaneous ozone therapy → Promotes blood circulation & healing processes
- Ozonated infusions → Anti-inflammatory & improves cell regeneration
3. Neural therapy & acupuncture for pain reduction
- Neural therapy (injections with procaine or lidocaine)
- Targets disturbed nerves and pain points
- Promotes blood circulation and regeneration of damaged structures
- acupuncture
- Activates energy flows (Qi) and relieves pain
- Promotes muscle relaxation & blood circulation
- Supports chronic pain, arthrosis & disc problems
4. Infusion & nutrient therapy
- High-dose vitamin C → Promotes collagen formation & joint health
- Glutathione infusions → Detoxifies & reduces oxidative damage
- Magnesium & Amino Acids → Support muscle relaxation & bone building
- Curcumin & Resveratrol → Anti-inflammatory & cartilage-protecting
- NAD Infusions → Promote cell regeneration & energy production
5. Detox & heavy metal elimination
- Chelation therapy → Removes toxic metals that promote inflammation in the body
- ME2.Vie System Treatment → Regenerates damaged tissue & improves blood circulation
6. Natural therapeutic approaches
- Leech therapy → Anti-inflammatory effect & promotes blood circulation
- Cupping (Hijama) → Releases muscle tension & improves nutrient supply
- Autologous blood therapy → Supports the immune system & promotes healing processes
7. Exercise & nutrition for joint health
- Targeted training & physiotherapy (stretching exercises, yoga, water aerobics)
- Cartilage protection through omega-3 fatty acids (fish, linseed oil, chia seeds)
- Alkaline diet (less sugar, anti-inflammatory foods)
- Weight control (reduction of joint stress)
Individual therapy planning
Orthopedic diseases require a combined treatment of intra-articular therapy (ozone & PRP), neural therapy, acupuncture, regenerative infusions, detox, natural healing methods & exercise to relieve pain and promote regeneration.
