| | Prices for the most frequent orthopedic operations - Compare these to orthopedic operations in Alaska |
| | |
| |  | Living in Alaska or considering to have an orthopedic operation in Alaska? You may be interested to hear that good quality orthopedic surgery is usually much more affordable in Germany than in Alaska. |
| | | Uninsured (it happens to the best in today's world) and therefore forced to be a "selfpayer"? |
| | | Chosen to selfpay for your own healthcare and the care of your family out of annoyance with high insurance rates? |
| | | Suffering from what your insurer calls a "pre-existing condition" and therefore refuses to pay for? |
| | | On a "critical illness" policy that will pay you a lump sum in case you ever fall seriously ill? Please consider carefully how you spend this money, you might save thousands or tens of thousands on the road to getting well. |

| | Disclaimer: The following prices are presented to give you a clear and (almost) definite idea of the costs you would be facing if you decide to have an operation or other medical treatment done in Germany. They are based on the assumption that there will be no serious complications and that there are no serious risk factors involved (e.g. extreme obesity, underlying other diseases, very old age etc.) that might create additional potentially costly challenges for the German doctors and hospitals. Prices do include our organisational fees, but they do not cover travel expenses, costs for hotels, costs for hiring translators etc. Please note that not all of our German partners will be able to offer these prices, which is why all price quotations should be regarded as "starting from". If you decide to go to one particular hospital, we will have to confirm for you if that particular hospital is able to perform the required procedure at the quoted price or if it might charge a slightly higher price. |

| | ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO ORTHOPAEDIC PROBLEMS: |
| | | Neural Therapy: - causal approach to various painful conditions ranging from minor complaints to chronic osteoarthritis pains. It is estimated that between 30 and 50% of hip and knee operations might be avoided if sufferers underwent a good course of neural therapy. Involves injections of very small doses of local anaesthetic under the skin into or close to certain nerve endings. Practically no side effects. Frequently surprisingly helpful. Usually just one course of neural therapy is required costing about 1000 Euros and involving 5 to 10 sessions spread out over 3-5 weeks. Accomodation in hotel or pension etc. not included. |
| | | Rolfing: Massage Therapy developed by Ida Rolf. Works on deeper tissue levels, muscles and fascia. Frequently brings permanent relief of severe pains (like back pains, sciatica etc.). Usually series of 10 sessions (just 3 for young children). Costs: between 80 and 150 Euros per session + Accomodation etc. over 5 weeks |
