Modern Orthopedics, traumatology and sportmedicine

According to Dr. med. Karl Zippelius in Orthopedics, traumatology and sports medicine the human organism must be regarded as an oscillating interactive system. Compatible with  the physical formula E=mc2 the entire organism basically consists of "energy", an energy which "oscillates", partly in a dense, structural way (e.g. anatomical structures such as muscles, sinews or bones), partly in an incorporeal way (e.g. muscular innervation, electrical stimulation of heart, gastric and intestinal peristalsis, transmission of impulses of vegetative nervous system, physical regulations of body processes, mental activity as thoughts or memory). This concept is linked to the idea of the interaction between Yin and Yang of oriental philosophy:  life is described as the dialectic dynamic process between Yin (dense energy/matter) and Yang (subtle energy).

Therefore an "all inclusive" diagnosis has to be "corporeal" as well as energetic in order to consider the complexity of the human being. In orthopedics and traumatology according to dr.zippelius® this means to combine all diagnostic procedures of western and of oriental medicine.

Only after such a complete, holistic and energetic diagnosis is it possible to intervene therapeutically on various levels of "oscillation" using: Acupuncture/Moxibustion, Osteopathy, (energy) Massage techniques, Herbal treatments, Feldenkrais/Alexander technique, Physiotherapy and Surgery.

 
The conscious and individually adjusted combination of different therapeutical approaches optimizes the treatment, because pathological processes on all energetic levels (from the dense, anatomical or structural to the incorporeal energetic level) are taken in consideration.
 
Beside his medical activity, Dr. Zippelius does regular journalistic and educational activity to spread formentioned principles of integrating TCM into orthopedic and traumatological treatment.
Furthermore, for many years he has developed high quality and innovative, natural products for sports activity and care of locomotor system. If you want to know more about them, have a look to the Webshop of dr.zippelius ® srl (external link, independent website)
