Ultrasound-controlled varicose vein treatment using laser light energy (endovenous laser therapy, EVLT):

For the treatment of diseased truncal veins, we offer this modern, less invasive (minimally invasive) therapy method – an "internal welding" (endoluminal) by means of laser energy.

95 percent of our patients from all age groups are treated with this method, a surgery that can be performed under local anesthesia and on an outpatient basis, with excellent medical and cosmetic results.

Since 2001, this treatment method has evolved as a very gentle, safe and effective alternative to conventional surgical procedures (mini-phlebectomy, vein stripping, and CHIVA method).

Detecting and treating diabetes and controlling its secondary diseases: 

We offer the following services to prevent and to detect and treat diabetes at an early stage, and to avoid the development of secondary diseases (eye, kidneys, heart, nerves, brain, blood circulatory problems in the legs and nerve disorders, diabetic foot syndrome): 

• Laboratory chemical analysis of metabolic parameters (sugars, blood fats)
• Advice and support during the change of living and eating habits
• Outpatient treatment for all forms of diabetes and coordination of outpatient training as well as structured and targeted training courses in cooperation with large diabetes centers

Diabetic foot syndrome (DFS): 

The cause for developing DFS may be a nervous disturbance, a circulatory disorder or a combination of both.

The damaged nerves lead to a weakening of the muscle tone in the feet and ligaments, and the arch of foot will sag. The results are numbness and painless pressure spots on foot soles or toes. The skin becomes dry and vulnerable. Foot ulcers may develop and become infected and will heal only with difficulties.

Due to the disturbed arterial circulation, entire tissue areas may die. A differentiating examination and a treatment that takes account for the level of severity can prevent the amputation of foot and limb.

Wound treatment:

On the basis of clinical and vascular ultrasound examinations, we can identify the cause (arterial, venous, lymphatic vessels) of the protracted healing of wounds (open legs, diabetic foot syndrome).

A healing-up can be achieved by means of adequate treatment options appropriate to the underlying disease (arterial and venous interventions, leg and/or foot relief, special wound dressings, compression therapy).

Mechanical compression therapy for disorders of the flow of the lymphatic fluids:

As an alternative and/or effective supplement to manual lymphatic drainage, we also offer mechanical lymphatic compression therapy; this procedure exerts a directional pressure on the affected extremities by means of air pressurized sleeves.

The lymphatic system carries up to two liters of lymphatic fluid per day through larger lymph vessels back to the venous system. Waste products, dead cells and even protein molecules are drained via these so-called lymphs. If the excess fluid cannot be discharged, very large fluid buildups may occur anywhere in the body.

A clear differentiation between lipohyperthrophy, lipoedema and lymphedema and the secondary lymphatic drainage disorder can be made on the basis of a comprehensive check of the patient’s medical history and the clinical examination, and then the appropriate treatment can be initiated.
