Philosophy

As an innovative thinker in pain diagnostics and treatment, the Schmerzklinik Basel plays a leading role among providers and in opinion-forming. With their professional competence, our doctors and other staff ensure reliable treatment at the highest level.

The well-being of the patients is always in the foreground. Treatments are always tailored to their needs.

Our mission

The human being is the centre of our attention.

With understanding and openness, we respect our counterparts and always consider them in their uniqueness as a whole person. Our common goal is to support patients with chronic pain or rheumatological diseases, to recognise their problems at an early stage, to make correct diagnoses and to treat them successfully. In doing so, the patient in his or her unity of body, soul and spirit is in the foreground.

Together and on an equal footing, we develop the diagnosis and treatment plan with the patients as an interprofessional team.

The multimodal approach and interdisciplinary action ensure a holistic, bio-, psycho- and social view.

The quality of our services also depends on the quality awareness of our stakeholders. Therefore, we expect our partners to help shape our quality goals.

Our aim is to constantly assess our work and our processes critically and realistically. In this way, we achieve continuous improvement.

We want to support our patients with their pain and accompany them on their way to as much independence as possible.

Our values

We take our patients seriously, actively listen to them and respect them. We tailor our services to the specific needs of our patients. We strive for a balanced price-performance ratio and thus remain competitive.
