Pain Therapy

Pain limits mobility, performance, and quality of life. In orthopedics, targeted, individually tailored pain therapy is therefore at the heart of treatment. The aim is to provide lasting relief from symptoms, identify causes, and work together to find a way back to greater freedom of movement and safety in everyday life.

PAIN THERAPY

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. The word “pain” comes from the Greek language and means “terrible,” “horrible,” “agonizing.”
Pain experiences are always subjective and emotional. A distinction is made between acute pain, which is a biological warning function of the body, and chronic pain. The latter is senseless pain without function. It is important to combat it in good time to prevent the development of what is known as “pain memory.”

Dr. Christian Merettig has held the additional title of “Special Pain Therapy” from the Berlin Medical Association, a public corporation, since January 2001.
Special pain therapists are doctors who, based on their special knowledge and experience, including work in a clinic pain clinic, are able to treat acute and chronic pain.
