Diagnostics
D3A: Analysis of bone structure for improved diagnosis of osteoporosis
Digitales xray
Ultrasound: for example, the child’s hip during the Mutter-Kind-Pass examination; Shoulder; another application is ultrasound-guided injection.
Chirodiagnostics (manual examination): This enables diagnoses of movement disorders of the joints in the spine and extremities, as well as tension of muscles and connective tissue.
Orthopaedic diagnostics

- Detailed patient interviews

- Sports medical examinations
- Pre-operative evaluation, registration for surgery, operations, post-operative care
Infant and young child orthopaedics
- Monitoring spinal development
- Infant screening
- Examination and conservative treatment of leg and foot deformity

Ultrasound examinations of the hip joints of infants
- The ultrasound examination of infant hips during the 1st year and from ages 3 to 6. week of life has been able to almost eliminate completely the dreaded hip dysplasia (a malformation of the hip socket and head) as a disease. This examination is now part of the preventive program
Rheumatologic diagnostics (Dr. Klaus Machold)
- Comprehensive neuro-musculoskeletal examination
- Internal medicine diagnosis and therapy planning
- Interpretation of laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging, especially for complex internal medicine/rheumatology issues
