Knee problems and therapies

The conservative therapy for knee injuries aims at an optimal and timely pain reduction.

In acute knee pain, cooling helps to prevent the pain and the risk of effusion or swelling in the knee. 

After comprehensive knee diagnostics and in coordination with the patient's state of health, therapeutic applications (physiotherapy, osteopathy, etc.) can accelerate and improve the body's healing processes.

In order to improve function and reduce pain induced by arthrosis, drugs, analgesics or in more serious cases the use of local anaesthetics are an alternative to relieve the inflammatory stimuli and pain.

In addition, bandages are used for knee injuries (meniscus, cruciate ligament, kneecap, arthrosis, etc.) to stabilize the injury and pain conservatively (non-surgically).

Individual solutions are always required, whether a knee injury should be treated conservatively or surgically. Together with the patient, the optimal therapy for the injured knee is worked out based on the patient's state of health, professional requirements, age and sports activities.
