Dr. Helge Schmitz
Consultant Orthopedist & Orthopedic Surgeon
Manual medicine, also known as chirotherapy, focuses on diagnosing and treating functional musculoskeletal disorders. It is particularly effective for joint restrictions, postural imbalance and pain caused by mechanical dysfunction rather than structural damage.
At Doctor Reuter Medical Center, manual medicine is performed by experienced orthopedic specialists following thorough clinical assessment.
Through precise, controlled manual techniques, restricted joints are mobilised and alignment is improved. This may help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore normal movement patterns.
We focus on identifying the root cause of dysfunction rather than simply relieving symptoms. Treatment is personalised and based on careful orthopedic evaluation.
Is chirotherapy safe?
Yes, when performed by trained medical professionals following thorough clinical assessment and appropriate patient selection.
Will I feel immediate relief?
Some patients notice improvement after one session, while others benefit from a structured treatment plan over multiple sessions, depending on the underlying condition.
Is it suitable for all ages?
Yes, treatments are adapted to the patient’s age and condition, with techniques modified to ensure safety and effectiveness across different patient groups.
When is chirotherapy recommended?
Chirotherapy is most effective for functional joint restrictions, postural imbalance, and mechanically driven pain, particularly when no significant structural damage is present.
Book a Consultation if joint stiffness or postural imbalance is causing discomfort, manual medicine may help restore natural movement and prevent recurrence.
Our approach focuses on identifying and treating the underlying biomechanical cause, rather than only relieving symptoms.
