Almost everyone is affected by painful joints at some point in their lives. The causes are varied and range from injuries, e.g. as a result of an accident or during sport, to acute inflammatory pain processes - for example in rheumatic diseases - to arthrosis-related complaints as a result of signs of wear and tear in the tissue.
The good news: a life of constant pain doesn't have to be! Get your joy of movement, mobility and quality of life back. And completely without general anaesthetic, side effects and lengthy rehabilitation measures.
Gold implantation has countless advantages and has been used successfully for decades. Dr Endrizzi is the expert for implantation with gold in Germany and has already treated over 750 patients with great success and relieved them of their pain.
The versatility of gold therapy is a major plus point. It can be used for large joints such as the knee, shoulder joint, ankle or wrist as well as for small joints such as fingers or toes. Depending on the size of the joint, the fine gold pins are customised and inserted precisely around the affected joint. There they have a targeted effect and can develop their convincing effect directly on the joint.
The exact effect has not yet been 100%ig proven. However, it is assumed that the gold ions that are released interact with the tissue cells of the joint and reduce pain transmission. Gold has the great advantage that it is an absolutely pure material that can also be used in dentistry, for example, without hesitation. It is not rejected by the body and is not regarded as a foreign body. There are also no known allergies to gold, meaning that gold implants are suitable for every patient.
In contrast to an operation in which joints are replaced, gold therapy does not require a general anaesthetic. The procedure takes place in one of Dr Endrizzi's three practices and patients can return home immediately after the gold pins have been inserted. The treated joint can also be used normally again immediately. As no general anaesthetic is required, patients for whom the risk of anaesthesia is too high can also be treated.
For most patients, the pain is reduced within a short period of time, and for most, the symptoms have even disappeared completely after three months. No follow-up examinations are necessary and there is no need for time-consuming rehabilitation. This makes gold therapy one of the most uncomplicated and effective pain therapies for joint pain caused by osteoarthritis.
Prior to implantation, Dr Endrizzi takes an X-ray of the affected joint to check whether gold therapy is an option and whether it is likely to be successful. No special precautions are necessary on the day of treatment itself. Only one other person should be present to drive home - a purely precautionary measure due to the local anaesthetic. Otherwise, patients are fully fit for work immediately after the procedure.
In another blog article, I have already pointed out the many dangers of regular painkiller use. If joint pain is only temporary, for example after a sprain or bruise, it usually makes sense to take painkillers. However, if the pain is of a chronic nature, i.e. a permanent part of life, the side effects of painkillers are a serious risk.
These include damage to the stomach, kidneys, liver and intestines, blood clotting can also be negatively affected and cardiovascular disorders can occur. Living with pain is also dangerous, as it often leads to relieving postures that cause further joint problems. In addition, chronic pain „feeds“ the pain memory. This can lead to our brain reacting incorrectly to even the slightest touch with pain.
It is not only essential from a medical point of view to treat joint pain quickly and effectively. A pain-free life is also essential for your own well-being. If you wake up in pain every morning, you can't start the day actively and positively. And if you are already so weak at midday because your joints hurt with every movement, you will lose energy and enjoyment of life after a short time. In addition, it is becoming increasingly difficult to survive in the world of work and to cope with everyday life as required. Invitations are turned down and it is not uncommon for those affected to become increasingly isolated.
Under certain circumstances, all of this can even lead to depressive phases and even depression. After many years of suffering, many pain patients are therefore dependent on taking antidepressants in order to cope with their lives at all.
Many successfully treated patients notice a significant improvement in their joint pain after just a few days or weeks. The pain becomes less and less, the joy of movement increases. The positive effects are often also clearly recognisable to those around them. Without pain in the joints, those affected have much more energy again and enjoy socialising. The improvement in mood is often so great that patients ask themselves: "Why didn't I do this earlier and put up with the pain for so long?
