Detection and treatment of medical emergencies
- Urgent consultations with your general practitioner
- General practitioner substitution (in case of absence of your GP)
- HIV test
Manual medicine works on acute back point (for example, the dreaded “lumbago”) and chronic back pain, as well as joint and muscle ailments. The muscles, tendons and joints are not directly damaged, but they do not work together in cohesion, which is why the sufferer is afflicted with pain and limits to their range and quality of movement. The pain resulting from these “functional” problems can arise quite a distance from the actual source of the problem.
Our specialist staff only accept patients on internal referral. Depending on the concern , we will refer you to manual medicine.
Travel medical advice as well as prevention, diagnosis and treatment of travel illnesses. No yellow fever vaccination possible.
During the vaccination consultation, we check your vaccination record and draw your attention to any missing recommended vaccinations according to the Swiss vaccination schedule. If desired, we can carry these out on site.
Hematology (examination of the blood), routine clinical chemistry examinations and urine analyses, contacts to special laboratories for rarer or more complex analyses
Ultrasound allows us to predominantly examine soft tissue structures in the body. That is why our ultrasound scanner is used to help clarify so many questions.
An examination takes place on the advice of our specialist staff and cannot be booked directly. Ultrasound diagnostics are usually performed as a supplement to an ongoing GP examination.
