Our spine practice Dr Wälchli
Our practice specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system." Dr. med. Dr. of Chiropractic Beat Wälchli, Head of the Spine Practice
Diseases of the spine manifest themselves in a variety of symptoms and pain. Acute back or neck pain that radiates into the arms or legs often indicates a slipped disc. Tingling in the arms and legs or sudden weakness are also typical signs. Walking pain, on the other hand, often indicates a narrowing of the spinal canal, while frequent blockages suggest a spondylolisthesis. Our practice specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries of the entire spine.

A moment of light-heartedness in everyday hospital life
When Klara Sternenstaub and Ina Schnusel wander through the corridors of Zollikerberg Hospital, they bring more with them than just music, magic and red noses. As visiting clowns, they give patients moments of laughter, connection and respite – right in the midst of what is often a stressful hospital routine. With great sensitivity, they interact with people in very different life situations, experiencing touching, and sometimes quiet, moments that linger long afterwards. In this interview, they explain how they came to do this special work, what they have learnt about people through it, and why a brief moment of light-heartedness can sometimes make such a difference.
