Wolfgang Stelzer
Medical Director at Medical Center painless Austria
Biography
In 2004 I founded a medical centre for pain management and outpatient surgery center. ( called “Zentrum SchmerzLOS” that’s a german word for painfree and for the fate of painpatients synonymious). Since that time I could establish the pain centre in a large part of Austria as a centre for interventional pain therapy: in Vienna with the centre in Baden/Vienna and Upper Austria with the centre in Linz. At now we are a team of 16 ambitious doctors and nurses specialized for anaesthesia and pain therapy and we trat about 3500 patients a year. Our treatment with fluoroscopy guided interventions is strictly following the ISIS guidelines. Large priority of SchmerzLOS is set on scientific research, on the one hand for quality improvement, on the other hand for improvement of interventional pain therapy.
