Our spine practice Dr Wälchli
Our practice specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system." Dr. med. Dr. of Chiropractic Beat Wälchli, Head of the Spine Practice
Diseases of the spine manifest themselves in a variety of symptoms and pain. Acute back or neck pain that radiates into the arms or legs often indicates a slipped disc. Tingling in the arms and legs or sudden weakness are also typical signs. Walking pain, on the other hand, often indicates a narrowing of the spinal canal, while frequent blockages suggest a spondylolisthesis. Our practice specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the entire spine.
