- Therapeutic shoulder injection is a minimally invasive treatment technique in which anti-inflammatory substances are injected directly into the shoulder joint. This treatment is specifically used for conditions such as arthritis (osteoarthritis), impingement syndrome, or tendon irritation, where it helps relieve pain and improve movement. Our treatment is ideal for patients suffering from chronic shoulder problems or acute inflammation.
- Joint pain can arise from arthritis (osteoarthritis), overuse, or injuries, often leading to swelling, stiffness, and limited movement.
- At Dr. Jozeph Iskander's clinic, "Ortho-Wetzlar," we provide accurate diagnosis and personalized treatments, including physical therapy, injections, and medicinal treatments (pharmacological treatments) to alleviate symptoms and improve your condition. These services target patients of all ages suffering from acute or chronic joint pain.
- Knee injection using Hyaluronic Acid or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).
- For patients suffering from knee arthritis or joint degeneration (wear and tear), we offer two effective treatments:
- Hyaluronic Acid Injections: These work to improve synovial fluid (joint fluid), protect cartilage, and reduce friction within the joint.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): This innovative method relies on the patient's own plasma (autologous plasma) to stimulate healing processes and alleviate pain.
Both treatments are particularly suitable for patients who wish to maintain their knee joint function over the long term.
- Shockwave Therapy (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy - ESWT)
- Shockwave therapy is a modern technique for treating pain and tendon irritation. The acoustic waves stimulate blood flow and promote tissue healing. This treatment is particularly effective for conditions such as heel spurs, tennis elbow, and calcified tendons. This method is suitable for patients looking for a gentle, non-surgical treatment option.
- Physiotherapy and Physical Therapy
- Manual therapy is a proven method for treating functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Our physiotherapists (physical therapists) use targeted techniques to relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote healing. This treatment is ideal for patients with chronic complaints or those recovering after injuries.
For a life full of activity and movement, we offer our expertise in spinal surgery.

Thoracic Spine (Mid-Back)

- Dorsal Approach: Percutaneous stabilization (fixation) for cases of fractures and the treatment of tumors.
- Balloon-Assisted Cement Injection (Kyphoplasty): Used for treating compression fractures caused by osteoporosis or the spread of tumors (metastases). Cervical Spine (Neck)
- ACDF Surgery (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion): This is a surgical procedure used to treat problems in the cervical vertebrae (neck), such as a herniated disc or nerve compression in the neck region.
- Cervical Disc Replacement Surgery (Artificial Discs): This is a surgical procedure performed in the neck area to treat problems with the cervical vertebral disc (the disc located between the neck vertebrae), such as a herniated disc or disc degeneration. These conditions cause pressure on the nerves or spinal cord, leading to pain or weakness in movement.
