About chronic pain
- physical and emotional issues
Chronic pain is a condition that may endure for many months or even years. Unlike acute pain, which passes with the healing process, chronic pain may continue to persist due to physical damage, emotional disturbance or imbalances in biochemistry. According to the US National Institutes of Health, chronic pain is often defined as any pain lasting more than 12 weeks, which sets a distinct barrier when one should seek medical treatment.
Symptoms and effects of chronic pain
The pain felt by an individual person continues to be very real, but it may or may not be related to physical injury or illness. Instead, it can be of a psychogenic nature (pain which is not due to past illness or injury or any visible sign of damage inside or outside the nervous system). These causes can include emotional distress, biochemical imbalances or damage to the central nervous system itself.
The most common symptoms of chronic pain
- muscle strains and sprains
- back pain
- arthritis and other joint problems
- headaches
- Lyme disease
- nerve damage
- acid reflux or ulcers
- sleep disorders
Chronic pain treatment
Recognising that pain is a serious problem is the first step towards finding the right and effective treatment. At The Kusnacht Practice, each client receives an adapted treatment plan to identify the root causes of their chronic pain. Together, we can identify the source of pain and develop a comprehensive treatment plan that takes into account general health and lifestyle. Our clinical team uses evidence-based procedures to treat sufferers one on one, in a luxurious environment.
Costs
We provide the very best care and comfort. The treatment investment starts at CHF 97,000 per week. This covers all programme costs excluding: transportation to/from the client’s home to Zurich; medical issues unrelated to the treatment programme; Continuing Care. Fees are settled directly by the client (we do not work with insurance companies) and we can supply written quotations upon request.
The Kusnacht Practice services are not covered by Swiss health insurances. All costs are to be covered directly by the clients. Patients who are domiciled in Switzerland and are therefore mandatorily health insured may be reimbursed by their health insurance for medical services in accordance with the Federal Law on Health Insurance (KVG) and its implementing provisions.
Our unique approach is discreet, non-judgemental and confidential. We look beyond the surface issues in order to identify and treat the true underlying causes. Feel free to contact us to learn more. Our Comprehensive treatment starts at CHF 97'000 per week.
