Our philosophy: conservative before surgery

Spinal surgery is a central component of the Spine Centre and is one of Bethesda Hospital's key qualifications. We specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of degenerative diseases of the entire spine.

Wherever possible, we endeavour to treat your complaints conservatively and, if necessary, surgically and work with you to find the best way back to mobility.

The best interdisciplinary treatment

Because musculoskeletal disorders can be very complex, we work closely with teams in related fields. Together, we work hard for you - so you are always in good hands with us and receive the treatment that is tailored to your condition. We work on an interdisciplinary basis in the following areas:

The Department of Anaesthesiology treats around 5000 patients a year before, during and after surgical procedures. We offer the entire spectrum of general and partial anaesthesia in modern anaesthesiology. Our service for patients is the result of a well-coordinated teamwork of doctors and nursing staff.

To the Clinic for Anaesthesiology

The Department of Neurology specialises in diseases of the peripheral nervous system, the spinal cord and the musculature as well as neurological diseases that manifest themselves through changes in mobility and/or movement sequences. It also specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of (head) pain disorders and seizure disorders (epilepsy).

More about neurology

Physiotherapy is a central part of our focus area "musculoskeletal system" and is one of Bethesda Hospital's key qualifications. With a great deal of experience and empathy, our highly trained team will support you throughout the entire treatment process. We treat and advise you both as an outpatient and inpatient, for injuries, before and after operations and for musculoskeletal disorders.

To physiotherapy

We offer radiological diagnostics and minimally invasive treatments at the highest level. Our motivation is to offer modern medical equipment in a pleasant environment and friendly atmosphere. During your stay with us, you will be looked after by our team of registration secretaries, medical assistants and medical radiology specialists (MTRA), who will explain the examination procedures to you in detail.

More about radiology

Musculoskeletal complaints are very common, often extremely painful and associated with limitations. They can also have many different causes. Sometimes rheumatic complaints indicate a serious systemic illness. At Bethesda Hospital, you will find rheumatology and pain medicine combined in one clinic - so the various specialists can tailor treatment precisely to your needs.
