Chronic pain affects everyday life - in addition to physical complaints, it can also lead to psychological and social problems. At the Schmerzklinik Basel, we want to support our patients and free them from the many limitations. This often requires intensive inpatient therapy with the involvement of specialist doctors and therapists. Patients benefit from a coordinated programme of physical and psychological therapies.
Depending on the individual needs of the patient, there are various therapy options, for example:
Swiss patients:
The Schmerzklinik Basel is open to insured persons of all classes (private, semi-private, general). The services provided are billed directly to the patient's insurance company (applies only to insurance companies in Switzerland).
International patients:
You are not insured in Switzerland? We will be happy to make you an offer for your stay, which we will tailor to your needs and wishes.

As a Sanitas Preference client, you have the opportunity to take advantage of convenient additional services during your hospital stay that provide you with comprehensive care. This starts before your hospital stay and only ends when you have recovered to such an extent that you can take care of everything yourself again.
