Assessment of acute and chronic pain: Individual solutions for your health

Pain is a complex and often distressing experience that can significantly impact our daily lives. Whether acute or chronic, it requires a thorough assessment and a tailored treatment strategy. In my practice, I am here to support you with comprehensive expertise to treat your pain in a targeted and holistic manner.

Pain assessment: The first step towards relief

The path to effective pain therapy begins with a thorough examination and assessment of your symptoms. In doing so, I consider not only the type and intensity of the pain but also its duration, potential triggers, and individual influencing factors such as lifestyle, occupation, and psychological well-being. I take the time to fully understand your pain and to uncover the root causes together with you. I rely on close cooperation and open communication to ensure that all aspects of your health are taken into account.

Multimodal treatment plan: Holistic therapy for sustainable relief

Pain often has multiple causes, which is why its treatment requires a holistic, multimodal, and interdisciplinary approach. Based on the assessment, I create a multimodal treatment plan that combines various therapeutic methods. Potential measures include:

  • Medical therapy: Use of medication for acute pain relief and long-term treatment of chronic pain, supervised reduction of pain medication (in cases of medication overuse).
  • Physiotherapy: Targeted exercises and manual techniques to improve mobility and alleviate muscular tension.
  • Psychological support: Accompanying talk therapy or hypnosis to manage emotional burdens and facilitate coping with chronic pain.
  • Interventional pain therapy: Image-guided nerve and joint injections.
  • Neural therapy: targeted procaine injections to regulate the nervous system en/neural-therapy-zurich/
  • Referrals to complementary therapies: osteopathy, shiatsu, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and others.
  • Nutritional counseling: Dietary adjustments to reduce inflammation and promote healing, supporting gut health.
  • TENS therapy: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for pain inhibition.
Every treatment plan is individually tailored to your needs and circumstances. My goal is not only to alleviate symptoms but also to address the root causes of your pain sustainably so that you can achieve a better quality of life in the long term. Where necessary, we arrange further diagnostic tests to complete the picture.

Your well-being is our focus

I understand how how much of a burden pain can be, which is why it is of particular importance to me to support you on your path to better well-being. Together, we will develop a strategy that helps you to better understand and manage your pain.
