Prevention & Checkups

Preventive Medicine in Düsseldorf

Prevention is better than aftercare: This basic idea determines our guiding principle of preventive medicine. Preventive medicine has a very high priority in our practice. Therapeutic medicine is primarily concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, while preventive medicine is concerned with maintaining and improving physical and mental health. This includes advice on healthy lifestyles, tests for the early detection of diseases and measures to improve health in the case of existing diseases. In terms of our holistic preventive medicine, our main focus is on individual counseling measures for our patients. 

 

Because modern medicine is as individual as we are. 

 

We all have our own individual medical risks of disease, which are mainly based on our genetics and our lifestyle. Therefore, staying healthy does not always work. Salutogenesis states that there are healthy, but also sick parts in all of us. Therefore, our preventive medicine also stands for identifying and strengthening the healthy parts of our patients, while we try to cope with the sick parts with external and internal resources. At the center of our preventive medicine are the questions:

 

What keeps us healthy?

What makes us sick?

 

In order to be able to prevent the disease effectively, it is necessary to determine the risk of disease. This is the only way to develop an individually tailored and sensible prevention concept. Health is not a state, but a process. We are happy to go through this process together. For a future that is as carefree as possible.
