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.

Spinal surgery: everything you need to know
At Zollikerberg Hospital, the highest precision applies to one of the most central and at the same time most demanding areas of the body - the spine. Spinal surgery here means not only modern, minimally invasive technology, but above all sound expertise, experience and careful, holistic care. This is what Dr Filippo Mandelli, Head of the Spinal Surgery Clinic, and his team stand for. They treat conditions such as herniated discs, spinal canal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal deformities and degenerative changes competently and sensitively and accompany patients on their way to greater stability and quality of life. In this interview, you can find out what is particularly important in these complex interventions - and what modern spinal medicine can achieve today.
