The hospital has unique equipment for Munich: a cryotherapy chamber. The therapeutic concept involves redistributing oxygenated blood to the affected areas in response to the body's reaction to a cold environment down to -110 degrees. The method promotes better healing and reduces inflammation.

Do doctors specialize in the treatment of rheumatism?

According to German and world standards, doctors treat rheumatological diseases with a high success rate. Therapy consists of the latest medications with hormonal and monoclonal antibodies, anti-inflammatory cryotherapy, minimally invasive arthroscopy, and a thriving individual rehabilitation program.
