Internal Medicine Department
Patients with heart complaints, fever attacks, joint complaints, diabetic foot and many other acute and chronic illnesses. Our 24-hour emergency admission, the interdisciplinary intensive care unit and the functional area of diagnostics ensure that we are always available for you on a daily basis.
Range of services
The diagnostic and therapeutic spectrum particularly include:
- cardiovascular illnesses
- gastro-intestinal tract illnesses
- illnesses of the Liver and other abdominal organs
- respiratory tract illnesses such as pneumonia or asthma
- metabolic disorders such as thyroid problems or diabetes
- degenerative or chronic inflammatory changes of the musculoskeletal system
- neurological illnesses
Specific specialist fields
Providing the patient with speedy and good treatment incorporating all health problems - from admission right through to rehabilitation - is made possible by way of close interdisciplinary interlocking and cooperation between the various medical departments.
Hyperhidrosis
A particular speciality of our department is the treatment of hyperhidrosis, also referred to as excessive sweating. For more than 30 years, we have successfully carried out a thoracoscopic sympathectomy, an operative obstruction of the sympathetic nerve in those cases where conservative treatment has failed.
Adipositas Centre
Our Adipositas Centre provides overweight people with an opportunity to safely and lastingly reduce their weight. Participation is either through the OPTIFAST® 52-Programme or also by way of personal consultation. The programmes are conducted under medical supervision.
