Together with his wife, Dr. med. Petra Bracht, he has developed a revolutionary method to treat pain conditions. With the help of the so-called \"osteopressure\", where you press specific points on your body, and special stretching exercises, pain can be stopped entirely without medication or surgical intervention. This pain treatment allows you to alleviate pain by yourself.

General causes of arthritis and risk factors that promote the formation of osteoarthritis in the toe include movement that is too one-sided.<\/p>\n<p>Many of us often move in an unbalanced way and feet suffer from lack of movement. Rigid, sturdy shoes and a lack of barefoot walking exacerbate the problem.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important<\/strong>: Your brain stores frequently used movement patterns and, by controlling your muscles, ensures that they can be implemented quickly and precisely in everyday life \u2013 you don&#8217;t have to think about walking and can just start running. <strong>The muscles and the surrounding fascia (i.e. the connective tissue) adapt exactly to these movement patterns.<\/strong> If your legs and feet are not challenged by regular exercise, their muscular-fascial balance changes, leading to painful sensations.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-429116889\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p>The pull on the metatarsophalangeal joint becomes so strong that it presses the bones together. The joint space melts and cartilage wears out disproportionately, causing bone to rub against bone. In the long run, degeneration is pre-programmed here and the joint becomes completely stiff.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-460142669\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(248, 248, 248);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p>You can prevent wear and tear going this far with our <a href=\"#exercises\">exercises<\/a> and therapy.

Receptors in the periosteum are located at very specific points on your feet and legs; these are pressed during osteopressurization. The excessive tension in the muscles and fasciae of the feet can normalize and the pain can be switched off. In the case of acute and severe pain, contact one of our trained pain specialists. They will apply osteopressure and give you tips for further courses of treatment that can ameliorate arthritis and associated conditions.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-792528439\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<p>You can also apply osteopressure yourself.
