VAMED Rehabilitation Clinic Kipfenberg

VAMED Rehabilitation Clinic Kipfenberg was opened in 1993 as an innovation center. Today, it is a specialized neurological clinic with a center for people with paraplegia. During its existence, the hospital was expanded twice and became a leading structure in restoring body functions. The modern building with a view of the mountains accommodates 135 places for patients. Rehabilitators have everything to treat patients with severe illnesses in intensive care shortly after the acute phase. It has been proven that the earlier patients start rehabilitation, the more progress they make. Kipfenberg VAMED Rehabilitation Clinic also accepts patients with neurosurgical and neurological diseases, including immune diseases. In addition, 20 beds with ventilation and bedside monitoring stations help quickly respond to changes in the body and work in weaning patients from ventilators. Each patient has the opportunity to receive a high-precision examination of the brain, spine, and state of the nervous system.  Intracranial and extracranial Doppler and duplex sonography are available for stroke diagnosis and prevention, endoscopy, CCT, CT, ECG, Echocardiography, and kinematic analysis of arm and gait functions under one roof.  Special rehabilitation has developed a patient-centered treatment model together with the University of Eichstatt-Ingolstadt. The program provides the use of various directions at the same time. Physiotherapists use Bobath, Affolter, or PNF according to the needs and abilities of the patients. Also, an essential component is therapeutic baths with various additives. These include hydroelectric baths and the Stanger bath. Parallel electrotherapy, in combination with ultrasound, improves metabolism and reduces pain. In addition, laser therapy helps to accelerate the healing of bedsores, ulcers, and all other types of skin damage. Thanks to the constant search for innovative treatment methods, music cure and art therapy are also components of treatment for developing cognitive functions and plasticity of the nervous system. Also, rehabilitators work on reducing pain sensations and strive to minimize the use of medications. To do this, doctors teach patients the correct and prudent use of drugs and determine the lowest effective dose with the best administration periods. Kipfenberg VAMED Rehabilitation Center provides rehabilitation care for patients with degenerative diseases of the nervous system, dementia, diseases of the muscles and peripheral nervous system, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis, glioblastoma, and meningioma.
