Varicose veins

Veins work against gravity in the circulatory system and therefore have to withstand a lot of pressure. Our veins return the used blood to the heart, where it is then re-oxygenated by the lungs and supplies the body with oxygen. Varicose veins often develop as we age. Varicose veins develop when the delicate veins or venous valves can no longer withstand the pressure of the blood over the years. Spider veins are often the first sign of a venous disorder. Diseased veins eventually appear increasingly twisted and thick on the surface of the legs if they are not treated in time.

We offer the entire diagnostic spectrum using venous ultrasound as well as minimally invasive therapy for spider veins and varicose veins.

CT-guided infiltration for herniated disc

Spinal pain is often caused by disc movement (so-called herniation). In this condition, the disc presses on a nerve exiting the spinal cord, causing sometimes severe pain and often also sensory disturbances (e.g., tingling, numbness). In most cases, the lumbar spine is affected because this is where the greatest pressure is exerted on the discs.

As part of an initial consultation, we offer a diagnostic evaluation of the lumbar spine MRI (which our patients bring with them on a data carrier). Based on this evaluation, we can then precisely plan the minimally invasive therapy. For this, under sterile conditions and CT (computed tomography) guidance, we perform a targeted infiltration precisely in the area of the compressed spinal nerve, which we have already identified in the lumbar spine MRI.

Ultrasound diagnostics

High-resolution diagnostic ultrasound and minimally invasive ultrasound-guided therapies of the highest standard, based on the latest scientific and technological advancements, are offered thanks to our experience, state-of-the-art equipment, and ample time for our patients. High-resolution ultrasound is the diagnostic method of choice for examining small and anatomically important structures painlessly and without harmful radiation, even in motion if necessary. This allows us to examine diseases and injuries with a precision previously unattainable in medicine.

We perform ultrasound scans from head to toe – baby hips, organs, breasts, vessels, muscles, nerves, tendons, etc. If necessary, we also perform ultrasound-guided biopsies (e.g., breast).
