A bottle of fine red wine next to her pillow and the total absence of pain in the cervical (neck), thorax (chest) or lumbar (lower back) areas of his spine. This is the pleasant surprise that Dr. Michael Schubert's thousands of patients experience two hours after their surgery at his renowned Apex Spine Center for Endoscopic Disc Surgery and Spine Surgery, which Dr. Schubert created next to the Munich Olympic Park.

I am 58 years old and have had unbearable back pain for a year. I can only walk a few meters and then have to sit down again. At times it pulls into the buttocks. My orthopaedist already prescribed me physiotherapy, but this did not lead to any improvement. What could that be?

In the TZ, Dr. Armin Helmbrecht Ski injuries on the subject of the back.

Many, especially older patients, suffer from back pain due to spinal canal stenosis. Classically, these patients all too often receive pain therapy in the form of epidural infiltration therapy ( PRIT = peripheral radial infiltration therapy, Rasz catheter , etc.).

A group of researchers from Philadelphia, USA has now discovered that the group of patients who had received such an injection therapy prior to a stenosis operation had a significantly poorer surgical result than the group of patients who were never infiltrated or received injection therapy.

One stupid movement and the competitive athlete Janusz M. from Munich could no longer move. The competitive and extreme athlete and physiotherapist, who happened to have treated thousands of patients with back pain conservatively himself for years, could no longer help himself! All conservative therapeutic measures failed!
His biggest concern was that he would no longer be able to carry out his passion for "kite surfing"!

Less than 3 months later, Poul won the 200m backstroke and 3rd place in the 200m butterfly at the "Danish Senior Swimming Championships".

We are happy for him and wish the apex spine team all the best for the future

Monaco's hope in the world ski circuit Alexandra Coletti.

A drama! Alexandra Coletti, the hope of the Monegasque Sports Confederation and flag bearer at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, suffered a herniated disc with dramatic consequences while training in Austria. Already during a training descent she felt a stitch and the beginning of numbness in her leg. Then suddenly additional weakness in the leg. She was able to get to the finish line without falling.

dr Michael Schubert from the apex spine center in Munich regularly performs difficult endoscopic disc operations (herniated disc) in the partner clinics in Starnberg and Erding.
