I believe that in a world of modern maladies caused by stress, recreation, sports, inadequate nutrition, and lifestyle; preservation is often the best medicine. A big part of my work is focused on prevention training. I teach my patients, clients, and industry how to make changes that stack up big gains over time.

Focused On Prevention as a Bone & Joint Specialist

Dr. Joerg Mika is a German Board Certified Orthopaedic Physician, the Director of The Mika Clinic in Bad Kreuznach/Rhineland-Palatinate, Articular Cartilage Researcher and proud member of the ICRS. His experience working for over 20 years in different clinical and research, non-invasive, and surgical settings ranges from rehabilitation hospitals to Level 1 University Trauma Centers. He completed a classic orthopaedic education and was trained for Arthroscopies and Cartilage Regeneration at the University Hospital Freiburg, for Total Joint Arthroplasty at The German Center for Orthopaedics in Eisenberg/University Hospital of Jena, and for Trauma at the University Hospital of Giessen and Marburg.

Those experiences led him to pursue a private practice where he has more autonomy and time to listen and add value to his clients’ lives. If you are looking for a physician partner to help you functionally manage your health; you are in the right place. The Mika Clinic allows the harmonization of cartilage research, orthopaedic teaching, and orthopaedic consulting to help clients live and move better.

Dr. Mika’s family, friends and colleagues have given him a lot of confidence, encouragement, and support reaching his personal and professional goals. His father’s example of national service and sacrifice as a German Air Force jet pilot set a strong foundation of discipline, competency and consistency. Studying Medicine at the University of Freiburg/Germany in the triangle of Germany, Switzerland and France; at the New York Medical College in Manhattan/USA; and the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg/South Africa combined with clerkships at the Mount Meru General Hospital in Arusha/Tanzania and the Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC) in Northport, Long Island/USA peeked his interest for international cooperation.

Looking back on his career, working as a postdoctoral research fellow in Orthopaedic Surgery at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston/USA, where he got ranked by the chief as the top research fellow being supervised, affirmed his passion for research. Also, there he attended all daily lectures, practical courses, large congresses, training tests, and therefore received almost half of the official theoretic training like any American Orthopaedic Resident.

Dr. Mika is an internationally recognized researcher in the orthopaedic field, led a Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) joint project in which new predictable testing procedures for cartilage regeneration were developed, since no gold standard for the assessment of regenerated articular cartilage quality existed. This was carried out in cooperation with 6 universities and 7 companies and was a totally new field of endeavor worldwide for these participants because data of similar complexity did not exist so far.

Due to his surgical and conceptual work at the German Center for Orthopaedics at the Eisenberg/Jena site, Dr. Mika has played the significant part in successfully establishing the large animal model, including a minimally invasive surgical approach, in this project that was absolutely required as the gold standard.

Before, he also carried out a highly successful cooperative study (Houston/Texas) showing that the wound made to the bone bordering lamella while preparing a defect for an articular cartilage regeneration procedure can and should be avoided in order to prevent an uncontrolled release of bone marrow content. This served as the base for all further cartilage research as for example in the study mentioned above to determine the success of any articular cartilage regeneration attempt. The study was published in the highest ranked orthopaedic journal, the American Journal of Sports Medicine.

Dr. Mika has published and participated in numerous congresses in the orthopaedic field, including authoring two book chapters regarding Bones and Soft Tissue. He teaches and gives lectures, this even includes a publication on how to teach medical students. He is a member of several professional organizations such as the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society (ICRS), the Association for Arthroscopy and Joint Surgery (AGA), the German Association for Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery (DGOU), and the German Association for Orthopaedics and Orthopaedic Surgery (DGOOC).

In addition, his experiences in general surgery in South Africa, Hannover/Germany and Switzerland were tremendously valuable experiences. The culmination of his collection of experiences resulted in the vision, knowledge, and expertise to enter private practice. In his practice, Dr. Mika addresses a broad spectrum of client needs. This includes the social aspect of human interactions, routine physicals, conservative treatments to the treatment of more complex health states. And yes, an ounce of prevention is certainly worth a pound of cure!

Together, we can achieve optimal health and well-being for life.
