Further services
A fee is charged for the following additional services, among others:
A living will is a declaration of intent with which you can expressly refrain from medical measures for up to five years in advance in the event that you are no longer able to communicate or make decisions. As part of the preparation of the living will, a medical consultation on the living will and its consequences is carried out and documented.
You can obtain all the necessary forms for the living will from our practice.
If a doctor’s certificate providing information about your state of health is required for the exercise of your profession or other activities, we will be happy to provide you with this on request.
The ultrasound device offers a painless, risk-free and largely side-effect-free examination that allows individual areas of the body to be examined in order to detect pathological health risks at an early stage. Ultrasound examinations can also be carried out in the case of acute complaints in order to uncover the cause.
Spirometry can be used to measure lung function and the performance of the airways. The lung test shows whether lung diseases or diseases of the respiratory tract are present or whether there is a change in lung volumes. The lung function test can also be used to determine the distensibility of the lungs, which can also be a sign of a disease in the lungs.
The BIA measuring device is a non-invasive measuring method used to determine body composition. The BIA measurement not only provides information about body weight, but also analyzes the percentage distribution of muscle, fat and water in the body.
Regularly checking your blood pressure is an important measure to prevent cardiovascular disease and reduce existing symptoms. Since a punctual measurement is often not sufficient to initiate the correct therapy, 24-hour blood pressure measurement is used. Here, blood pressure is measured at regular intervals over 24 hours and a blood pressure profile is created, which can be used to initiate the appropriate therapy.
If food intolerances are suspected, a test is carried out using the hydrogen breath test or H2 breath test. This will determine whether an intolerance such as lactose, sorbitol or fructose intolerance is present. The breath test is also used to examine the small intestine to check for bacterial colonization that may be causing the intolerance.
