He has been active in the field of regenerative medicine for many years (ESWT, PRP, stem cell therapy, prolotherapy; Pain School International Budapest and many more). Dr. Andreas Baumgartner, specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery, specializes in shock wave therapy and regenerative therapy methods and complements the team with his in-depth training and expertise, which he acquired in renowned Freiburg clinics and over the years at Orthopassion. Dr. Julia Plaha, a specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery and also an expert in shock wave therapy, trigger point treatment and hand surgery, completed her doctorate in the field of stem cell therapy and is a passionate advocate of the use of modern, biological procedures for healing and regeneration.

Regeneration instead of surgery!

The modern private practice is one of the few facilities in Germany with a Diers High Performance MotionLab and specializes in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and sports injuries. It offers a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for this purpose. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), one of the most potent regenerative procedures in modern orthopedics, is a central component of the Orthopassion range. It is used to accelerate healing after acute sports injuries, degenerative tendon disorders, osteoarthritis and myofascial pain. Another important procedure is osteopathy, which uses gentle, targeted hand movements to alleviate complaints in muscles, joints and bones and focuses on a holistic view of the body. Sports orthopedics, another focus of the practice, offers medical care for competitive and amateur athletes to prevent injuries and optimize overall athletic performance. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy uses the body's own blood plasma for the bioregenerative treatment of osteoarthritis, muscle and tendon injuries and other orthopedic problems. In addition, the practice offers a holistic posture and movement analysis that uses state-of-the-art technologies such as 3D/4D spine measurement and video analysis to identify and treat posture-related complaints and movement dysfunctions. In this high-performance MotionLab, all movement sequences from the spine, pelvis and leg axes to the footprint can be recorded and analyzed synchronously at a running speed of up to 30km/h.

Special attention is also paid to neuromuscular training therapy, which aims to optimize neuromuscular coordination, symmetrical mobility, proprioception and dynamic strength endurance in order to compensate for imbalances and minimize the risk of injury. In addition, individual exercise plans are developed according to the Egoscue method and Liebscher-Bracht, offering a customized solution to improve posture and performance. Physical therapies such as redressing fascia therapy, repetitive peripheral muscle stimulation (rPMS), high-energy electromagnetic transduction therapy (EMTT) and high-power laser therapy are also part of the extensive range of services offered by this well-equipped practice. These therapies aim to accelerate tissue regeneration, relieve pain, rehabilitate and improve the function of painful tendons and joints.

With the newly incorporated Tenex treatment, the practice offers an innovative, minimally invasive treatment method for stubborn tendon problems such as Achilles tendon complaints, tennis elbow and shoulder calcifications. This procedure has been tried and tested in the USA for years and uses advanced technology to identify and remove specific damaged tissue in the tendons without the need for major surgery. A special instrument is inserted through a small incision to precisely remove the affected degenerated tissue, resulting in effective pain relief and improved healing.

The services offered by the Orthopassion private practice are rounded off by acupuncture, stress management, orthomolecular medicine, nutritional recommendations and close cooperation with specialized dentists for CMD treatment. The practice focuses on interdisciplinary and gentle treatment to ensure the best possible therapy and care for each patient individually.
