Highly Experienced Surgeons

Artificial Disc replacement (ADR) was pioneered in Germany in the 1980's, and our Senior Neurosurgeons have spent 20 years mastering and perfecting this technique. They are also highly experienced in Total Facet Joint Replacement, and work together on complex cases with the philosophy “A patient's next spine surgery should be their last spine surgery”. They assist medical technology companies at the highest level to develop and improve motion-preserving implants.

Latest Motion-Preserving Implants

In some cases a spine fusion may be required for the optimal outcome, however in many cases it can be avoided. Third Generation Artificial Disc Replacement (ADR) implants are designed to replicate a natural spine disc, with controlled movement in 6 directions (including vertical compression) for single and multi-level use, and our surgeons are the No.1 provider worldwide (by volume) for some of these new technologies.
In cases where ADR is not suitable, both Facet Joint Replacement systems restore height and healthy movement, showing positive results in long term studies.

Fixed Price Packages (No Surprises)

Fixed price packages in Euros are provided to patients from all countries, including all medical, hospital, luxury accommodation, private transfers, and meals. If extra ICU observation or hospital days are required, you will be covered at no extra cost. Patients must fund their own elective surgery in Germany, and special inclusions for support partners are also provided.

Ongoing Support (Peace of Mind)

At the end of your time in Germany, you have a final check-up with your surgeon for the “green light” to travel home and continue recovery. If a concern arises at home, we will work with your personal physician to diagnose if it's part of normal recovery, or requires investigation. In the rare event a revision is required in the months following your surgery, your surgeon and hospital costs are covered. Any minor extras, if needed, will be discussed case by case. We know this can sound too good to be true, but the incidence is so low in our data that we are confident offering this assurance.
