What are chronic diseases?

Chronic diseases are characterized by the fact that they are protracted and usually cannot be completely cured. Patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes or respiratory problems must live with them, at least for a longer period of time, or even forever. Unlike short-term illnesses such as an infection, treatments with your general practitioner in Leimen focus on relieving symptoms or slowing down progress. Regular medical monitoring is essential for this. Together, we plan your treatment and ensure that a chronic illness burdens your everyday life as little as possible, that your quality of life persists and that you can live a life that feels good.

Good to know: We take part in family doctor-centred care and are partners of all health insurance companies with so-called family doctor programs. Participation is voluntary for you. However, if you choose to do so, you commit yourself to always visiting us as your family doctor in Leimen as the first point of contact in order to be referred to a specialist from here if necessary. We would be happy to personally inform you about family doctor-centred care (HzV).

medication management

Medication ensures the alleviation of symptoms for chronic illnesses, but also for short-term problems. Drug therapy must always be designed in such a way that complete patient safety is guaranteed. With our well-founded medication management, we help you with handling, but also with dosing and taking the correct dose. Together, we design a medication plan which, in addition to interactions, takes into account your individual constitution and is tailored very precisely to your personal needs. They receive all essential information and can therefore provide seamless care themselves. In addition, we give you tips on related topics, such as the right diet, and are there for you when you have uncertainties and fears.

infusion therapy

The controlled introduction of larger amounts of fluid for physical supply is also known as infusion therapy or fluid therapy. The aim is to maintain or restore your vitality and the functioning of organs. In addition to water, nutrients and medications as well as salts can be brought into the body without detours. A major advantage of infusion therapy is rapid absorption and direct introduction into the organism or bloodstream. The possible uses in your general practitioner's practice in Leimen are very diverse, from emergency measures to the treatment of hypokalemia or diarrhea.

infection treatment

If bacterial pathogens get into our body, an infection occurs that should be treated. Depending on the severity of the infection, we use drugs to treat the bacteria or inhibit their growth. An important basis is a complete medical history at the beginning so that we can take into account not only the cause but also your personal constitution when choosing a suitable remedy. We attach great importance to low dosages and take the approach: As much as necessary, as little as possible.
