Drug treatment is an important part of orthopaedic care. It comprises pain management, anti-inflammatory treatment and supporting medication, all matched to your individual symptoms. Our aim is to relieve pain and improve quality of life.
How does drug treatment work?
Drug treatment begins with a thorough diagnosis of your symptoms. Based on the cause and the severity of the condition we develop an individual treatment plan. Different groups of drugs are used, each acting specifically on your particular symptoms.
Painkillers can relieve acute and chronic pain. Anti-inflammatory drugs reduce swelling and inflammation. Supporting medication can also encourage healing and improve movement.
The drugs are given in various forms: as tablets, injections, ointments or patches. The dose and the length of treatment are adjusted individually and monitored regularly in order to achieve the best results.
The effect can be immediate or develop over a longer period. The treatment is monitored continuously and adjusted where needed. Our aim is to relieve the symptoms while preserving quality of life.
What we treat
Drug treatment can be used successfully for a range of orthopaedic complaints. Our experienced doctors develop an individual treatment plan for every patient.
Pain management
Individual painkillers to relieve acute and chronic pain. The treatment is matched to your particular symptoms and monitored regularly.
Anti-inflammatory treatment
Anti-inflammatory drugs reduce swelling and inflammation. Particularly effective with osteoarthritis, tendon inflammation and inflamed joints.
Muscle relaxation
Muscle relaxants release tension and reduce pain. Particularly effective with back pain and muscular tension.
Supporting treatment
Additional medication encourages healing and improves movement. These can support and optimise the main treatment.
