The implantation of gold  is a treatment for pain. By implanting  pieces of gold into pain areas, this treatment functions as a permanent acupuncture treatment.

About 80% of the patients receiving this treatment experience the elimination of pain or the reduction of it.

Chronic pain condition, for example, osteoarthritis of the neck, lumber region, hip, knee, hand or ankle joint can be treated with a gold implantation.

Patients with cicatricial tissues resulting from disc prolapse operations or patients with disc prolapse who cannot be operated due to the location of the prolapse.

In general, the gold implantation is for those patients who need pain relief. 

Time reservation in Denmark : 

0045 97 21 04 38 (between 11.00 and 13.00)  from Monday to Friday.

When making a reservation we need the following information: the patient’s name, phone number, birthday, pain problem, other or previous diseases, whether or when the patient was X-rayed/scanned in the area in discussion, whether s/he is on medication. It is very important for the doctor to know whether the patient takes any blood diluting medicine. If the patient takes any aspirin-related medicine/salicylate, s/he should take a 3 days pause before the gold implantation. The patient will also be asked whether s/he tolerates iodine and plaster.

 The examination and treatment takes about an hour. The patient tells the doctor about the symptoms, the doctor examines the patient and compares the patient’s symptoms and the examination with the report of X-ray/scanning examination, which should be send to the clinic in good time before the consultation. The report should not be older than 5 years. Then an overall evaluation will be made as to whether a gold implantation is indicated. Generally there is no hindrance to carrying out such a treatment.

After local anesthesia small pieces of gold will be implanted into the pain areas. Some patients may feel a little dizzy after the treatment. Because of this, caused by the local anesthesia, the patient must not drive a car just after the procedure.

The price is 4000 - 8000 Danish kroner. The precise amount will be set when the consultation is finished. If a gold implantation can not be carried out at once, the patient will be charged 1000 kroner for the examination. The payment shall take place after the treatment/examination. Cash is accepted, but not credit cards.

In some cases the pain has already gone as the effect of local anesthesia disappears after 1-2 hours.

In most cases the patient will  feel some minor tenderness  in the following few days in the areas where the gold is embedded.

A few patients may feel a worsening of pain for a short period before the pain decreases.

Most patients experience the relief of pain in the following weeks/months, some however do so 4-5 months after the treatment.

The patients are kindly asked to contact the clinic 3 months after the treatment and report how they are progressing.

The implantation of gold has been applied to human beings since 1996. Veterinarians have applied similar method to dogs and horses since 1970s.
