Pain Therapy
Less pain – greater quality of life
What is pain?
The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as follows: pain is an unpleasant sensory and/or emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage by those affected by it. We do not care about the definition of a disease that affects every other person in Switzerland. We care only about you. Holistic treatment is our approach. Pain, especially chronic pain, is not limited to one organ. It affects the entire being. We therefore treat pain patients has human beings, not as cases. We are committed to this principle.

Oral medication pain therapy
Advancements in medication-based pain therapy are occurring at a rapid rate. New preparations with much greater therapeutic effect are continually being developed. At the same time, these new medications have significantly less side effects. We recommend the respective products that best correspond to your symptoms. To achieve your greatest possible satisfaction.
Pain therapy as intervention
Sudden onset of acute pain, immobilizing neck pain, lower back pain at work – who is not familiar with at least one of these? In many instances, only the targeted administration of medication at the originating site of pain is effective: infiltration. Imaging technology (CT scans, live x-ray, ultrasound) provide the highest possible precision, for your safety.
Implantation and monitoring of neurostimulators
The latest technology in fighting pain is computer-guided. With this technology, pain signals are masked via targeted electronic impulses. Through electrodes implanted in the back with a minimally invasive procedure, you can get a handle on your pain – without medication!
Multimodal pain therapy
Close collaboration with in-house and external psychologists, physiotherapists, experts in complementary medicine, and pain specialists.
