Back pain is one of the most common ortho­pedic dis­orders for people of all ages. It often affects young patients and has a signifi­cant detri­mental effect on quality of life. For many patients it not only reduces mobility, but also pre­vents them carry­ing out their normal job or work. Ongoing wear and tear, often descri­bed as spinal degene­ration, affects more and more patients with in­creasing age. Problems develop over many years and can also cause mental stress. Pain may not only affect the back, but can also spread be­yond it  – parti­cularly to the legs.

Which spinal disorders are treated at our hospital?

The Confraternität & Goldenes Kreuz Private Hospital handles the dia­gnosis and treat­ment of many spinal prob­lems. If conser­vative thera­pies such as in­fusions, infiltra­tions, etc. are not sufficient to resolve the problem, an opera­tion may be required.

  • Operations to treat narrowing of the spinal canal (laminectomy, disk surgery, spinal stenosis)
  • Treatment for pain in the vertebral facet joints (facet denervation)
  • Microsurgical disk operations (microdiscectomy)

If conservative treatment does not bring any im­prove­ment to the back pain, the option of spinal surgery may be dis­cussed with the patient.
