Before inpatient admission

If an inpatient admission is indicated to treat your spinal complaints, you will receive a referral from your treating doctor. Please note the following:

  • If necessary, inform your employer in good time about the date of your admission
  • Where required (depending on the nature of your complaints), ask an accompanying person to help you with organisational matters related to your stay at the clinic
  • We will let you know the date of your inpatient admission in advance and inform you about any accompanying precautionary measures (for example, time of the last possible intake of food)
  • If possible, pack your items in a small case or bag (hand luggage size). Your visitors may be able to bring you any other things you need, such as fresh laundry.
