Around 8 out of 10 back operations are avoidable!

However, surgery is only recommended in 1-3% of all proven disc herniations. In our second opinion consultation, experience has shown that we can recommend an alternative procedure in 8 out of 10 cases.

It's all about perspective: Of hammers and nails

"If you have a hammer, the world is made of nails." This proverb describes the phenomenon of operational blindness. Doctors are not spared this either and so arguments are often made in favour of the hammer, in this case surgery.

With Dr Gall, the Schmerzwerkstatt München has one of the world's leading Neurosurgeonswho can look back on many years of experience in both surgery and pain therapy. He therefore has a complete toolbox at his disposal, which reduces the risk of operational blindness for the benefit of our patients.  

When should I have spinal surgery?

Spinal surgery is literally a drastic event and should always be the last option. In addition to the surgical risk, it should be borne in mind that even surgery often does not achieve freedom from pain. At the Schmerzwerkstatt München, our treatment goal is therefore to achieve a realistic reduction in pain with a significant improvement in quality of life. 

Often the multimodal pain therapy Achieve satisfactory pain relief through an individualised combination of several interlocking therapy modules. 

We attach great importance to a precise Diagnostics. You have time to tell us about yourself and your symptoms. Details that have so far remained in the dark are also important. In addition to imaging procedures and a thorough physical examination, we also work with diagnostic blockagesto precisely identify the structures causing the pain. Effective treatment is only possible if the exact cause of the pain is known.
