Medical professionals at St. Remigius Hospital's rear facilities in Alexian
The Opladen Spine Center, located at Alexianer St. Remigius Hospital, has established itself as a regional treatment center for spinal disorders. Under the leadership of Priv.-Doz. Dr. Cornelius Jacobs, the center provides comprehensive care for a wide range of spinal conditions, including degenerative diseases, injuries, deformities, infections, and tumors.
The center's approach is patient-centered, with a strong emphasis on education and involvement in decision-making processes. Dr. Jacobs, who moved from the Berlin Charité and the University Hospital Bonn, promises that there is no less time for individual conversations despite the increasing patient influx. The team takes great care to explain diseases and demonstrate images to patients, ensuring they fully understand their conditions and therapy options.
The center is equipped with the latest technologies, such as a 3D image converter, a special X-ray device, and a navigation system for operations on vertebral bodies. These technologies, combined with advanced surgical techniques, aim to reduce recovery times and improve outcomes. The use of minimally invasive procedures and computer-aided precision has led to a significant decrease in the need for revision operations.
The center's multidisciplinary team includes neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, pain therapists, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation experts. They work collaboratively to offer individualized treatment plans, ensuring each patient receives the best possible care. Postoperative rehabilitation programs are designed to optimize recovery and functional restoration.
The Opladen Spine Center has been certified as a Spine Specialty Center of the DWG following external examination. Dr. Jacobs has held the Master Certificate of the German Spine Society (DWG) since 2017. The center's success is reflected in its high patient satisfaction and excellent success rates in treating complex spinal conditions, contributing to improved quality of life for patients.

Operations on the spine are a last resort after exhausting other options, and the Opladen Spine Center is committed to ensuring that patients understand their diseases and therapy options to make the best decision for themselves.
