Our spine practice
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.

Our visiting clowns in action: how Pippa-Jolie and Ina Schnusel bring a smile to people's faces
The two visiting clowns Pippa-Jolie and Ina Schnusel offer a fascinating insight into their work at Zollikerberg Hospital. With music, magic and humour, they visit patients on various wards every month to create moments of lightness and joy. They talk about people's touching reactions and share moving stories of encounters that have left lasting impressions.

How does it feel to work in a culture of co-determination?
Co-determination, co-design, giving meaning to work - this is a reality in nursing at the Department of Surgery. In 2019, new structures and roles were created based on the sociocratic circle model, not to everyone's delight. But let's start from the beginning.
