Appointment with a shoulder specialist

I would be happy to advise you!

Who am I?
My name is Carmen Heinz. I am a specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery in the specialist team of .

The shoulder joint is one of the most complicated joints in the human body.

The treatment of the shoulder (rotator cuff, impingement syndrome, calcified shoulder (tendinosis calcarea, biceps tendon, etc.) therefore requires a lot of experience.
I treat a wide variety of shoulder diseases in a conservative way.
The aim of any therapy is treatment with full recovery without surgery.
Which therapy achieves the best results in the long term can only be determined after looking at all of the information (Examination, X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, etc.) be assessed.

You can find me in:

• Lumedis - your orthopedic surgeon
  Kaiserstrasse 14
  60311 Frankfurt am Main

Directly to the online appointment arrangement
Unfortunately, it is currently only possible to make an appointment with private health insurers. I hope for your understanding!

Therapy options

The conservative (non-operative therapy) has a success rate of 65-80% within one year of treatment and thus corresponds to the result of a surgical intervention. In addition to drug therapy, physiotherapeutic treatment comes into play. This can achieve significant pain relief as well as an improvement in function. If conservative therapy fails, athroscopic surgery (minimally invasive using a jointoscopy) is indicated.

Basically:

The earlier the physiotherapeutic treatment is started after the first onset of shoulder problems and the cause of the Impingement Syndrome is in the soft tissue structures, the faster and more successful the treatment will be.

The physiotherapeutic techniques and exercises for impingement syndrome are listed separately according to problem areas to provide a better overview. In practice, a treatment unit is made up of a combination of different techniques and exercises according to the individual findings (there is no isolated cause) of the patient.
The focus of the therapy offers is on self-exercises for those affected - so the help for self-help -!
