Dr med. Hassan Allouch is a specialist in spinal surgery. His treatment concepts are based on experience gained from years of highly specialised work in the field of spinal surgery. In addition to consistent use of conservative therapies, emphasis is placed on minimally invasive procedures. Endoscopically supported or microscopically assisted procedures are used on all sections of the spine, provided that the surgical goals can be achieved safely. This leads to faster wound healing, less scarring and enables a quicker return to an active life.
After studying human medicine in Poland, Dr Allouch completed his specialist training in neurosurgery at the Central Clinic Bad Berka under Prof. Dr Julianne Behnke-Mursch. After obtaining his specialist certification in May 2009, Dr Allouch increasingly took an interest in the treatment of spinal pathologies. From July 2010 he worked under PD Dr H. Böhm at the clinic for spine surgery at the Central Clinic Bad Berka, a maximum care spine center certified by the German Spine Society and EUROSPINE as well as AO-Spine. There he learned all the methods of modern spinal surgery for treating even the most complex clinical pictures. From March 2017 to May 2021, Dr Allouch was Senior Physician in spinal surgery in Bad Berka.
