The Department of Physical Medicine and Rheumatology offers inpatient and ambulatory assessments and treatment, as well as expert reports and counter-expertise. We work very closely with the other disciplines at Balgrist University Hospital to ensure the best possible treatment for our patients.
Appointments only with a doctor's referral
Please note that we can only make appointments for patients with a doctor's referral. If you have this referral, you will receive an appointment in our clinic as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
Diagnosis and treatment covers all non-surgical aspects of musculoskeletal conditions, whether they be inflammatory, degenerative or soft tissue diseases. The department runs an interdisciplinary pain clinic and an osteoporosis clinic, as well as having its own physiotherapy department.
The department focuses on
The focus during your stay is on improving functionality in daily life, increasing physical fitness (e. g. strength, stamina, mobility), developing strategies for managing pain and identifying resources.
We will be happy to make an appointment with you (a doctor's referral is mandatory).
