Anaesthesia / Pain clinic
At our pain clinic, we perform epidural injections, where an anti-inflammatory and analgesic is administered into the epidural space of the back. This reduces inflammation in irritated nerve roots and helps relieve pain and increase freedom of movement.

At Medical Centre, we perform various tests to assess your general health and any anaesthesia risks. Which tests are necessary is determined according to your symptoms and medical history. We always adopt a personalised approach, paying attention to your comfort and safety. Are you unsure whether a test is necessary? Our specialists will be happy to advise you.
Clinical research
A clinical examination is a medical examination in which the doctor assesses your health through physical tests and a comprehensive interview. The aim is to detect possible conditions early and establish an accurate diagnosis.
Epidural infiltrations
In this treatment, a combination of an anti-inflammatory and painkiller is administered directly into the back. This reduces pain symptoms and supports better mobility.
When is an examination at the anaesthesia or pain clinic necessary?
Are you experiencing persistent pain, chronic back or neck pain, nerve pain or pain after surgery? A consultation with the anaesthetist or pain clinic can help relieve your symptoms and initiate appropriate treatment. Regular follow-up is essential to effectively manage pain and prevent possible complications, such as:
Chronic pain - Prolonged pain in the back, neck, joints or muscles, often related to conditions such as osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia or neuropathy.Postoperative pain - Pain after surgery to be managed properly to promote a smooth recovery.Neuropathic pain - Burning, stabbing or tingling pain caused by nerve damage, for example in hernia, diabetic neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia.Cancer-related pain - Can range from mild discomfort to severe, disabling pain and requires a multidisciplinary approach.Headache and facial pain - Migraines, cluster headaches or trigeminal neuralgia can greatly affect daily functioning and require specialised treatment.Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) - Severe, prolonged pain after injury or surgery, often with swelling, temperature changes and increased sensitivity in a limb.Pain due to vascular problems - Poor blood flow can cause severe pain, for example in the legs (intermittent claudication) or other parts of the body.Anaesthesia guidance in surgery - Before surgery, the anaesthetist assesses your health and chooses the most appropriate anaesthetic method for a safe and comfortable operation.

What can you expect during a consultation at the pain clinic?
1. Initial consultation and medical history
During the initial consultation, the anaesthesiologist or pain specialist gathers information about your symptoms, medical history, previous treatments and current medication use. In addition, your lifestyle and the way you experience pain are mapped out, so that a complete picture of your situation emerges.
2. Investigate
If necessary, additional investigations are performed, such as imaging (MRI or CT scan), nerve conduction studies or diagnostic infiltrations. These examinations offer more insight into the cause of the pain and enable targeted treatment.
3. Results & Follow-up
Based on the examination results, the doctor draws up an individual treatment plan. This may include medication, infiltrations, nerve blocks or referral to other disciplines, such as physiotherapy or psychological counselling. You will receive a medical report of this and, if required, explanations via your eHealth file. The aim is to reduce pain and improve quality of life.
We guide you through persistent pain
The body may send signals in the form of chronic pain, tingling, radiating pain or hypersensitivity. Such symptoms may indicate nerve pain, joint problems or other pain syndromes that limit daily functioning.At the Medical Centre, pain is carefully examined. The pain specialists analyse the underlying causes and draw up an individual treatment plan with the aim of improving quality of life and achieving lasting relief.
