Find the right treatment
Venous diseases, back pain, osteoarthritis, arthritis, etc. – some of these are very widespread conditions.
Which is exactly why it is particularly important to recognise the symptoms early. Only then can the right treatment method be found. Find out which form of treatment is particularly suitable for osteoporosis, how the early stages of venous diseases manifest themselves and how, for instance, to deal with painful joints.
The following pages give you the information you need to find your way around clinical pictures, treatments and anatomy. Readers will find solutions, which, following consultation with the treating doctor, will pave the way to the best possible individual therapy.
How do certain disorders develop and what symptoms point to them?
Clear explanations of common diseases help you categorise symptoms and then find the right treatment for you. The doctor and the correct treatment play an important part in the healing process. If you avoid the risk factors, you can prevent diseases or accelerate treatment.
But there can be no doubt about it – the Internet does not replace your doctor! Nevertheless, the more we know, the more specific questions we can ask to get clarifying answers from the doctor and medical retailers (e.g. surgical appliance retailers): our information gives empowered patients the chance to prepare for the doctor's consultation and to find a first-class healthcare solution together with the doctor and the surgical appliance retailer.
