More Information
Card
The Klinik Bavaria in Bad Kissingen has been a leading rehabilitation clinic in northern Bavaria for more than 30 years. For almost 10 years, the clinic has been able to provide patients with intensive medical care, including artificial respiration.
Using the latest findings in neuroscience, the clinic's neurology department treats patients with neurological disorders such as paralysis of the outer extremities, sensory disorders, and severe cognitive impairments. Rehabilitation patients are accompanied on their way back to everyday life in an innovative, consistent, and reliable manner.
Customized Therapy for Complex Neurological Diseases
Neurological diseases require a particular type of rehabilitation, which must be accompanied by an individual, complex, and long-term treatment concept. The reason for this is that neurological diagnoses often lead to drastic changes in life circumstances and usually hit patients entirely unexpectedly.
In neurological rehabilitation, the affected patients can relearn basic speaking, standing, and walking skills and are carefully prepared for reintegration into everyday life.
The rehabilitation clinic in Bad Kissingen offers an excellent concept for complex neurological illnesses thanks to decades of experience, specially trained specialist staff, treatment concepts based on the latest scientific findings, and empathy and closeness to the patient.
Thanks to continuous research and new approaches in the field of neurological diagnostics and the nervous system's fantastic ability to adapt and regenerate, significantly better prognoses can already be achieved today as part of intensive rehabilitation. The Klinik Bavaria in Bad Kissingen attaches great importance to customized treatment concepts and the consideration of individual concomitant diseases.
Specialist Clinic for Stroke Rehabilitation in Bavaria
A stroke causes a sudden reduction in oxygen supply to the brain. A hemorrhage within the brain tissue or sudden vascular occlusion can cause this. Patients notice the acute incident through various degrees of impairment, such as speech disorders, paralysis, movement, and walking disorders. In the worst case, unconsciousness and acute loss of vital bodily functions can occur. Rapid and early treatment is essential for survival and plays a significant role in the long-term outcome of patients.
A cerebral infarction is accompanied by drastic changes to the affected person's everyday life. The loss of specific speech and motor functions can initially be challenging to accept and requires intensive physical and emotional care. The specially trained and experienced Klinik Bavaria in Bad Kissingen team is very familiar with the necessary rehabilitation steps after a stroke. It works in a multimodal way based on the latest scientific findings.
During each treatment phase, the interdisciplinary team addresses the patient's concerns. Realistic therapy goals are defined together, and an individual and customized treatment concept is selected for the patients. Damaged areas of the brain can regenerate through targeted therapy or be replaced by healthy regions due to the plasticity and adaptability of the brain. As part of the special therapy, the specialists at the rehabilitation clinic in Bad Kissingen try to specifically restore bodily functions and practice compensation mechanisms with the patients.
Attention is also paid to possible professional reintegration. A specially developed program for medical-occupational rehabilitation serves to reintegrate patients into their pre-illness occupation and is very popular among patients.
In addition, the specialist clinic in Bad Kissingen is one of the few clinics in Europe to have three efficient, robot-assisted gait rehabilitation systems. These gait trainers can be part of a three-phase therapy model to help patients regain the ability to stand and walk.
Another focus is changing lifestyles to prevent further strokes by adopting healthier behaviors. Treatment after a stroke is lengthy and complex and requires a strong will and a great deal of discipline. The clinic's specially trained team supports those affected with a great deal of empathy, motivation, and patient closeness during the healing process and in preparing them for the difficulties of everyday life.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Rehabilitation Clinic in Bad Kissingen
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the brain caused by an excessive immune system reaction. The chronic disease can progress in episodes and is accompanied by many symptoms. Visual disturbances, numbness and tingling in the extremities, and severe fatigue can occur. Later in the disease, bladder and bowel disorders and gait and balance impairments become apparent.
Neurological rehabilitation in Bad Kissingen aims to improve individual living conditions and support the independence of the affected patients. An interdisciplinary treatment concept plays a significant role here. It is implemented at the Bavaria Clinic by trained specialists from various fields, such as the medical team, physiotherapy, speech therapy, neuropsychology, and occupational therapy. The treatment strengthens mobility and self-determination and is intended to delay the progression of the disease in addition to drug treatment.
State-of-the-Art Neurological Rehabilitation for Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's is caused by a deficiency of the neurotransmitter dopamine in some areas of the brain. It mainly affects older people, with the average age of onset being over sixty. The chronic disease manifests in slowed movements, muscle stiffness, balance problems, and muscle tremors that are characteristic of the disease, for example, in the hands at rest or when holding objects. Depressive episodes and memory problems are also frequently associated with neurological disease.
Targeted rehabilitation is, therefore, essential to enable patients to remain independent for as long as possible, alleviate symptoms, and improve their quality of life. The therapeutic team at the Bavaria Rehabilitation Clinic in Bad Kissingen offers various methods of movement and physiotherapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy, and the proper medication is set for each patient's individual treatment.
Individual Neurological Therapy and Rehabilitation for Polyneuropathy
Systemic damage to peripheral nerves is known as polyneuropathy and can have a variety of different causes. The most common triggers are advanced diabetes or chronic alcohol consumption. However, long-term deficiencies, medication side effects, metabolic diseases, and inflammatory, genetic, infectious, and immunological causes also play a role.
The damaged nerve fibers lead to impaired transmission of stimuli, resulting in both sensory and motor effects. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and burning sensations in the extremities, muscle weakness, reduced reflexes, gait disturbances, and digestive disorders. In addition to drug treatment, the clinic uses physiotherapy and occupational therapy concepts.
The treatment team works together to create an individual treatment plan adapted to the patient's symptoms and needs. Lifestyle modifications and the optimal treatment of concomitant illnesses are also included. In this way, the patient's disease can be positively influenced.
Intensive Medical Rehabilitation in an Exclusive Ambience
The exclusive and unique concept of SalutoCare Rehabilitation in Bad Kissingen innovatively introduces an entirely new treatment approach to intensive care. In a unique environment that hardly looks like a hospital, patients can concentrate fully on their healing process in a safe and personal atmosphere.
Comprehensively trained recovery managers are always on hand to support the patients, and the focus is on their personal needs. The clinic team also makes extraordinary requests possible.
The luxurious suites offer plenty of space and comfort, and natural and harmless materials support the gentle and holistic healing process according to the principles of Healing Architecture. The customized care is designed to meet the complex needs of patients following an accident or severe illness and to provide them with moments of happiness, security, and safety during the challenging recovery process.
The focus is always on the person and not just the clinical picture. The interdisciplinary team works together with patients to help them return to a healthy and, as far as possible, everyday life; individual concepts and therapy methods based on the latest scientific findings form the framework for the multifaceted individual medicine of SalutoCare Rehabilitation.
