Integrative orthopaedics

Integrative regenerative medicine, as we practice it as your orthopaedist in Münster, brings together what helps and heals. It is driven by the desire to restore health in the sense of salutogenesis. This means that we are not satisfied with fighting symptoms, but want much more for our patients: full performance, a good inner and outer posture, joie de vivre and sparkling vitality into old age.

The best combination of conventional and alternative medicine

As your orthopaedist in Münster, we therefore bridge the gap between conventional medicine and the scientifically sound and proven findings of alternative medicine to create a meaningful overall picture: the human being as a whole, as an inseparable unit of body, mind and psyche or soul. Yes, the latter can also hurt.

Holistic approaches for chronic diseases

While conventional medicine and our healthcare system largely focus on treating acute illnesses, and are pretty good at it, we at Z.O.R. am Prinzipalmarkt and our private practice for orthopaedics and sports medicine go further. This is because the challenge of treating people suffering from chronic complaints is becoming more and more apparent. New medical approaches are needed for chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis, chronic back pain or pain in general, polyneuropathies, fatigue, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, etc. Ideas that reach further and look far beyond the boundaries of one’s own specialist field.

At Z.O.R. am Prinzipalmarkt, we are of course first and foremost orthopaedists. But we also see ourselves as your guide who wants to lead you back on the path to holistic health within the framework of salutogenesis. Because in the sense of functional, regulative, but also regenerative medicine, we recognize that everything in the body is connected.

Why the gut can lead to sciatica pain

There is a whole range of syndromes in the orthopaedic area that are triggered by the gastrointestinal tract, for example. These include tension headaches, neck problems and back pain, as well as frequent blockages in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, the sacroiliac joint and shortening of the hip muscles.

The hip flexor tends to shorten when the colon is inflamed and can cause symptoms similar to a herniated disc. This is referred to as pseudo-sciatica. Blockages in the spine can cause such symptoms via muscle chains. However, these blockages are often also caused by functional disorders in the digestive system, such as gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome and various inflammations. This shows us that there is a clear connection between body structure and body function.

Holistic. Integrative. Regenerative.

These examples show: Orthopaedists who concentrate solely on the body structure, on bones, tendons, muscles and ligaments, often remain at the level of treating symptoms. We can only get to the real causes if we consider how the complex interplay of the body works.

Illness should be treated at the level at which it arises. Be it physical, emotional, mental or environmental – we find solutions. For life-enriching health! For you!

Orthopaedic vitality concept

“It’s never too late for a healthy, powerful body!”

We have dedicated ourselves to this motto at Z.O.R. am Roggenmarkt. As an orthopaedist, sports physician, internist and former competitive athlete, Dr. Ulrich Frohberger combines the findings of research with his personal experience from his many years of practice to create a unique therapeutic approach.

Fit into old age

Experience shows that a healthy, fit body is not only possible at a young age. A good level of fitness can significantly improve your well-being and quality of life, especially as you get older. If you get enough exercise, eat a healthy diet and keep active, you can maintain a youthful appearance and vitality into old age. And yet the reality is different.

Vicious circle of physical inactivity

Many people today suffer from injuries and pain as well as the associated, sometimes massive restrictions of the musculoskeletal system. They train to overcome physical deficiencies or misalignments – often with negative results. And more and more of them appear exhausted or even depressed and have problems accepting themselves. Because of the pain and their dysfunctional body system, they end up avoiding exercise.

A vicious cycle begins. Without training, the body loses muscle mass. The body fat percentage increases. Performance continues to decline. The physical and psychological consequences are fatal. Now people need attention, help and support!

And he gets it at the Z.O.R. on Roggenmarkt

Orthopädisches Vitalkonzept Dr. Frohberger

Free from pain, powerful and flexible

With our holistic orthopaedic vitality concept, we create the physical, mental and medical conditions for a new body awareness and self-confidence. Our patients anchor in their consciousness and in their everyday lives that lifelong sport is the safest and least side-effect-ridden medication we know. For a healthy, fit life!

The Ortho-CheckUp

The first step is to determine the physical, functional and laboratory-chemical causes that lead to complaints. Whether unfavorable lever ratios, imbalances, biomechanisms, vitamin D deficiency, incorrect foot statics or an unhealthy diet – we find out what is going wrong in the patient’s overall system. This is fundamental. Because a quick pain-relief injection may promise short-term relief. It is also injected quickly. But what about in a month’s time? We prefer to get to the root of the pain and work with our patients to ensure that it doesn’t return.

Individual therapy, nutrition and training plan

Based on the diagnosis, the next step is to develop an individual master plan in the sense of a holistic health concept. Whether physiotherapy, micronutrient infusions, weight reduction or training sessions – all measures are based on what you need as a patient – and what you are capable of doing yourself. Excessive demands at this point would be absolutely counterproductive. We therefore translate our findings into simple rules that are easy to follow and which – with our support – promise rapid progress.

We will guide you back on the path to unimagined fitness, health and joie de vivre.
