Conservative Therapy
Individual, effective, sustainable
Not every injury requires surgery. In many cases, targeted conservative treatment can provide effective and gentle foot therapy. At move ahead, we offer a wide range of non-surgical treatment options and therapies to reduce pain, promote healing, and restore your mobility.
Our concepts are based on scientifically proven methods and are individually tailored to your symptoms and circumstances. Depending on your diagnosis, we combine physical applications, modern injection therapies, and regenerative procedures to deliver effective foot therapy without surgical intervention. We place a particular focus on functional approaches: as a certified Kinesio therapist, Dr med Gehlen uses kinesiological techniques as part of conservative treatment to support healing processes, relieve pain, and improve the stability of the musculoskeletal system.
In addition, our patients benefit from short distances and direct coordination thanks to close cooperation with the physiotherapy department and the medical supply store in the same building. This ensures holistic, personalised, and sustainable foot therapy.
