What Orthopädisches Zentrum does

Orthopädisches Zentrum Erkrath is a privately held orthopedic medical practice (Facharztpraxis) operating as a sole proprietorship under the legal name Orthopädische Praxis Dr. med. Jan Assmann & Dr. med. Achim Schulz, located at Bergstraße 14, 40699 Erkrath, approximately 18 km from Düsseldorf city center. Founded in 1996 by Dr. med. Achim Schulz, the practice has been led since July 2023 by Dr. med. Jan Georg Assmann following a planned succession; Dr. Schulz continues to practice at the location. The practice employs approximately 20 staff and is supervised by Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Nordrhein, billing through the German statutory (GKV) and private (PKV) health insurance systems under the GOÄ fee schedule.

The practice delivers comprehensive orthopedic care across musculoskeletal conditions of the spine, joints, hands, feet, and trauma. Its service portfolio spans approximately 16 therapy modalities including Chirotherapie, Stosswellentherapie (ESWT), CT-gesteuerte Wirbelsäulen Therapie (PRT), ACP (autologous conditioned plasma / PRP), Hyaluronsäureinjektionen, Proliferationstherapie, Akupunktur, Kinesio-Taping, Neuraltherapie, Infusionstherapie, Arthrosetherapie, and Unfallbehandlung. Specialty service lines include Kinderorthopädie (pediatric orthopedics, with non-radiation diagnostic methods such as 3D spine measurement, ultrasound, gait analysis, and foot pressure measurement), Sportmedizin, and Sporttraumatologie. The practice also coordinates with external orthopedic technicians and shoemakers for prostheses, orthoses, and rehabilitation equipment.

The business model is fee-for-service medical practice revenue under regulated German reimbursement frameworks, supplemented by higher-margin private services (Akupunktur, ACP/PRP, ESWT, CT-guided PRT). Patient acquisition is primarily through reputation-driven referrals, the practice website, and an online appointment booking system integrated via CGM eServices/CLICKDOC. The customer base consists of individual adult orthopedic patients (primary), pediatric patients, and athletes, drawn from the Kreis Mettmann district and the broader Düsseldorf metropolitan area. The practice has no external investors, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding activity; ownership rests solely with Dr. Assmann.
