Medbase Bern main station, in collaboration with the Hirslanden Institute of Radiology, is a location qualified by the canton to carry out mammography screening. The examination is carried out with modern equipment in a discreet atmosphere. Mammography is a special form of X-ray examination. It is considered the best method for the early detection of breast cancer (mammary carcinoma). Very small tumours can be detected at an early stage, even before they can be felt as lumps or hardening. Especially small calcifications (micro calcifications) - possible pre-stages of breast cancer - are well visible in the X-ray image as white spots. They are a sign of remodelling processes in the tissue. All women between 50 and 74 years of age who live in the Canton of Bern receive a letter of invitation every two years with a proposed date for a mammography. The invitations are distributed over two years.

You can find more information on the subject and on registration on the website of the Hirslanden Institute of Radiology.

Ultrasound allows us to predominantly examine soft tissue structures in the body. That is why our ultrasound scanner is used to help clarify so many questions.

A medical massage improves the blood circulation and metabolism and therefore reduces tension and pain in the muscles as well as the entire body. It improves the patient’s performance and regeneration, whilst simultaneously purifying and detoxing the body. Different manipulation techniques and intensities are applied to achieve the objectives.

Sports massage

A sports massage is a variation of the classic massage. It plays an important role in preparing for training and competitions, or after great physical exertion with the aim of restoring previous performance levels. The massage techniques are individually tailored to suit the athlete, i.e. His/her type of sport and his/her ultimate objective (stimulation, improved performance, regeneration, relaxation or injury prophylaxis).

Trigger point therapy

TP therapy is used to target local cramps in the muscle tissue. It is often applied to ease painful conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, headaches, injuries, susceptibility to injuries and to prevent discomfort.

Lymphatic drainage

The lymphatic system is stimulated through gentle, rhythmic and slow pumping manipulations (pressure), which promotes the drainage of lymphatic fluids from the tissue. Lymphatic drainage is used for swelling after an injury, surgery and congenital disorders of the lymphatic system. It is also used for certain types of headaches and migraines.

The massage services can partly be billed via the additional insurance. Please check in advance whether your health insurance company accepts the therapist or treatment methods and covers the costs.

This holistic medical system dating back over 2,000 years is currently enjoying growing recognition and importance.

Modern medicine considers the patient as a whole. Our level of physical fitness significantly influences our general sense of motivation. We aim to positively influence your fitness and state of health.

Persons with diabetes mellitus type 2 are exposed to a greater medical risk of suffering from cardiovascular disorders. To counteract this risk, we advise you and provide therapy that follows an evidence-based care concept.

The concept focuses not only on medical factors but also treatments such as physical activity and nutrition. Cooperation between the professional groups involved is needed for the care concept to be implemented successfully: Medical professionals, physiotherapists, specially trained medical assistants and nutrition and diabetes experts. The interdisciplinary organisation of our Medical Center ensures this.

Process

The patient formulates their goals together with their general practitioner and, if required, other experts. This process is repeated together with the patient in an annual GP follow-up. The goal setting is followed by an action catalogue, which is also developed together with the patient.
