Prevention is better than therapy.

Some metabolic disorders develop over time without being noticed. Early symptoms such as chronic hyperglycaemia or disorders of the cholesterol metabolism are easily overlooked because they do not cause noticeable effects. Obesity is an important precondition for diabetes type 2 or hypertension. In return, these factors can cause a stroke, a heart attack or kidney failure. Early detection prevents these problems.

Profound diagnostics are the most important prerequisite for any successful therapy. We offer all examinations on premises.

A change of lifestyle can help to reduce medication and potential secondary diseases. Being easier said than done, you can count on the support of our interdisciplinary team of nutritionists, physical therapists and psychologists.

Nutrition as medicine

Appropriate nutrition is fundamental for treating metabolic diseases. Our dieticians elaborate your individual nutritional concept together with your doctor balancing your preferences with the medical requirements. They analyze your eating behaviour and help you to integrate the nutritional change into your day-to-day life.

Exercise as medicine

Exercise is also a key factor and an effective “medicine”. However, the appropriate dose is most important. To develop a suitable exercise program we analyze your personal load-bearing capacity. We help to control your blood sugar level while exercising. In case of additional health conditions such as hypertension, we chow you how to exercise individually. Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation is your competent partner for exercise.

Counselling for stress and sleep disorders

Permanent stress and sleep disorder can also play a role in the development of metabolic diseases. Our psychologists will analyze in detail the potential physical and mental aspects of your illness and draft strategies for dealing with these. Single counselling sessions are also available.
