About OrthoCoast: understanding, weighing up options and planning together
An orthopaedic question often begins with something very personal: your walks are getting shorter. Your shoulder is disturbing your sleep. Or a test result leaves you wondering what you can still safely do. What matters most to you is how to move forward in everyday life.

Our approach
Orthopaedics and osteology in Wolgast
At OrthoCoast, we want to work with you to identify which information matters for your situation and which next step fits. Our focus is non-surgical orthopaedics and osteology, the medicine of bone diseases. We bring these specialist perspectives together across disciplines in our practice in Wolgast.
Your goals in everyday life
A diagnosis gives a condition a name. For treatment, what limits you in everyday life matters just as much. Before your appointment, consider: which symptom is your main concern? How long has it been present? Which movement or activity would you like to manage better again?
A brief note and any existing reports are enough preparation. Mention your most important concern at the start of the consultation and tell us which investigations or treatments you have already had. This lets us use the available time purposefully for examination, assessment and the next decision. What you can do yourself is part of that planning.
Non-surgical orthopaedics with decisions you can understand
Conservative treatment means treatment without surgery. At OrthoCoast, this includes movement and exercise advice, manual medicine, medicines for pain relief and other approaches depending on the findings. We discuss which options may suit you in the context of your examination, previous treatments and personal circumstances.
A recommendation should make clear what we are aiming for and how progress can be assessed. It also means explaining when further assessment is needed or when non-surgical treatment has limits. Our medical information pages explore these questions for each particular condition.
Expertise and collaboration
Orthopaedics and osteology in one practice
Our medical team brings experience in orthopaedics, trauma surgery and internal medicine. Our osteological care covers osteoporosis assessment, fracture risk assessment, treatment and follow-up.
Our doctors’ profiles show their qualifications and areas of practice. This should help you see which specialist perspective fits your question. In the consultation, we combine that experience with an assessment of your individual situation.
Your questions are part of the decision
Read the relevant information before your appointment and note the questions that matter most to your decision. Ask specifically if an explanation remains unclear. Questions relevant to a shared decision may include: what should improve? What alternatives are available? What does the treatment mean for my everyday life? And what costs might be involved?
If we recommend a treatment, you do not have to choose it immediately. You can take time to consider it and discuss any outstanding questions with us. For a service that you pay for yourself, we agree its scope and likely costs with you before it starts. Details are explained under “Costs and funding”.
Rooted in Wolgast, with your journey in mind
Our practice is in Wolgast. If you have a long journey or need someone to accompany you, an appointment often requires careful planning. Where possible, we aim to coordinate investigations and treatment steps sensibly and avoid extra journeys. Which steps can be combined depends on the clinical question and appointment scheduling.
Our doctor profiles introduce the doctors to you. The practice team page explains how the team helps with registration and organisation. For a specific visit, you can find the address and further information under “Contact and directions”.
Frequently asked questions
What does non-surgical orthopaedics mean?
It means treatment without surgery. Which option may help depends on the specific question and medical assessment. The individual service pages explain the aims, requirements and limitations in more detail.
Do I need to know which treatment I want before my first appointment?
No. You can come to the consultation with your symptoms and questions. It helps if you can explain what limits you in everyday life and which treatments you have already experienced.
Can I take time to think about a recommended treatment?
Yes. You can decide after the consultation and use the next steps agreed with you. If questions remain unanswered or your symptoms change, raise this before the next treatment step.
