Not every back pain requires surgery.
At the Spine Clinic Berlin, an accurate diagnosis comes first – followed by a clear, individually tailored treatment plan.
Our goal: to understand pain, address its causes, and maintain mobility – using the gentlest methods possible.
Only when conservative treatments have been exhausted do we consider minimally invasive or reconstructive procedures.
You should feel medically secure and personally well cared for at every stage.

Step-by-Step to the Right Treatment
Every treatment begins with a precise analysis: We take time for anamnesis, physical examination, and state-of-the-art imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray).
Only when it is clear where the discomfort originates do we develop a graduated treatment plan with you – always based on the principle:
“As much as necessary, as little as possible.”
Diagnostics & Analysis
Successful treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis.
Therefore, at the Spine Clinic Berlin, every therapy begins with a thorough examination – not the scalpel.
We aim to understand the origin of your pain, which structures are affected, and which treatment is truly appropriate.
Only when all findings are available do we jointly decide on the further course of action – step by step and always with careful consideration.
Modern Imaging and Clinical Examination
We utilize state-of-the-art procedures to precisely assess the spine – from high-resolution MRI and CT to digital X-ray.
The images are personally evaluated by experienced spine specialists, not solely by radiologists.
This allows us to detect even subtle changes and accurately attribute symptoms.
Additionally, we examine posture, mobility, reflexes, and muscle strength – the combination of imaging and clinical experience makes the difference.
Personal Findings Discussion
After the diagnostics, we take the time to explain the results to you in an understandable manner.
We show you on screen what the images mean and discuss which treatment steps are suitable.
We pay particular attention to ensuring that you understand what is happening in your body – and that you co-decide on the next steps.

No Standard Solutions
At the Spine Clinic, there are no routine procedures.
Every finding is evaluated individually – often resulting in a conservative treatment option without the need for intervention.
Only when all non-operative therapy options prove insufficient do we consider minimally invasive or reconstructive procedures.
Conservative Treatment – The First Approach
In most cases, surgery can be avoided.
We initially rely on proven conservative methods – from targeted pain therapy and infiltrations to movement concepts and physiotherapy.
We work closely with pain therapists, neurologists, and physiotherapists.
The goal is to activate the body’s self-healing powers and sustainably reduce pain.

Minimally Invasive Surgery – Gentle and Precise
If conservative measures do not show sufficient effect, minimally invasive procedures offer a modern and tissue-sparing alternative.
Through millimeter-small access points, we remove disc tissue or relieve compressed nerves without compromising spinal stability.
These procedures enable rapid mobilization and short hospital stays – usually within a few days.
Small skin incisions, minimal blood loss
Reduced strain on muscles and tissue
Less pain and scarring
Shorter rehabilitation time
Reconstructive Surgery – When Stability Must Be Restored
For complex misalignments, instabilities, or severe deformities, major surgery may be necessary.
In these cases, we carefully plan the procedure based on your individual anatomy and medical history.
State-of-the-art 3D imaging, computer-assisted navigation, and high-quality implants ensure maximum safety and precision.
Aftercare & Rehabilitation
After every treatment, we closely accompany you through the rehabilitation phase.
The goal is to build muscle, promote mobility, and prevent relapses.
Our network of physiotherapy, pain management, and medical training ensures long-term success.
