Our Headache Centre in Basel
Individual help for headaches – we find the cause and the right treatment
Headaches are one of the most common neurological complaints and occur in many different forms, ranging from tension headaches and migraines to rare forms such as cluster headaches.
The Headache Centre at the Schmerzklinik Basel offers a specialised consultation service for the differentiated diagnosis and individual treatment of acute and chronic headaches.
Modern diagnostic procedures and evidence-based therapeutic approaches are used. The interdisciplinary team consists of specialists in neurology, pain medicine, rheumatology, orthopaedics and anaesthesiology, as well as therapists from the fields of physiotherapy, psychotherapy, nutritional counselling, TCM and acupuncture. This close cooperation enables a comprehensive assessment of even complex pain syndromes.
Special clinical issues such as headaches during pregnancy, headaches caused by excessive use of painkillers, headaches with accompanying symptoms such as nausea or visual disturbances, and the differentiation of potentially dangerous causes (e.g. secondary headaches) are specifically taken into account.
Therapeutic options range from medication and manual therapy to integrative methods such as acupuncture. The aim is to achieve a lasting improvement in the quality of life of patients in the Basel area who suffer from recurrent or therapy-resistant headaches.
With a precise diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan, many sufferers can lead a largely symptom-free life.
