Check-Up

Full body status

The full-body status – A systematic assessment of your health
In our practice, a full-body examination means a systematic and thorough physical examination from head to toe. The aim of this comprehensive assessment is to holistically evaluate your current state of health, interpret clinical signs early on, and detect changes that you may not have noticed yourself. We take the necessary time to carefully examine all organ systems – from the head and neck, through the chest (thorax) and abdomen, to the spine and extremities.
As part of this comprehensive check-up, we will conduct the following examinations, among others:

Head and sensory organs: We inspect the eyes, conjunctiva, and oral and nasal cavities for signs of inflammation, mucosal changes, or deficiencies.
Skin check: A careful examination of the entire skin surface serves to detect unusual moles or other skin changes at an early stage.
Musculoskeletal system: By examining the mobility of your spine and joints, we assess your posture and the function of your musculoskeletal system.
Lymphatic system: The physical examination (palpation) of the main lymph node stations gives us important information about the activity of your immune system.
Abdominal organs: By palpating the abdomen, we check the position and condition of the internal organs as well as any possible pressure pain.

Heart and lungs: We assess your cardiovascular function and airway ventilation by auscultation (listening) of your heart and lungs.
Vascular and nervous system: Assessing the pulse status and checking the reflex status provide information about blood circulation and neurological health.
Comprehensive inspection: The examination of the genital area and anal region is also part of the complete examination in order to detect local changes in a timely manner.

This thorough examination forms the basis for any further diagnostics and is an essential component of responsible preventive healthcare.

Why is the check-up important?

If you feel fit and want to stay that way, then our check-ups, tailored to you and your lifestyle, are the right choice for you.

This allows us to detect changes and diseases early
to recognize.

How does the check-up work?

Initial consultation / anamnesis

The check-up begins with a conversation – the so-called medical history. We ask you about previous illnesses and illnesses of family members, as well as any complaints you may have.

Blood sampling and diagnostic testing

We take blood samples and perform initial medical examinations.

Consultation and final interview

We will provide you with detailed information about the results of the check-up and your individual risk profile. We will discuss appropriate measures, lifestyle changes, and further steps.

We also offer variations of these checkups as part of our travel and altitude medicine services. We also recommend a checkup before a longer trip abroad or for study trips.

Meaningful laboratory diagnostics

Complete blood count: To determine general health, detect inflammation and rule out anemia (low red blood cell count).
Iron status (ferritin): Particularly important in women to detect iron deficiency early, before anemia develops.
Thyroid hormone levels (TSH): The thyroid gland controls many hormonal processes; a malfunction can cause menstrual irregularities or fatigue.
Hormone status (if needed): Determination of estrogen, progesterone or AMH if menstrual cycle problems are present or family planning (desire to have children) is a concern.
Vitamin D & Vitamin B12: Important storage values for the immune system, bone health and general well-being.
Blood sugar & blood lipids (cholesterol): For assessing metabolism and cardiovascular risk (cardiovascular prevention).
Urine test: A simple rapid test for the early detection of unnoticed urinary tract infections or kidney diseases.

Appropriate diagnostic equipment

ECG (electrocardiogram): With the resting ECG, we assess your heart rate and heart rhythm in order to obtain early indications of circulatory disorders or rhythm disturbances.
Lung function test (spirometry): This measurement provides information about the volume and performance of your lungs. It is particularly important for the early detection of chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma or COPD.
Oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry): A quick, painless measurement that shows how effectively your blood is supplied with oxygen – an important baseline value for your vitality.
Ultrasound (sonography): Using ultrasound, we painlessly examine your internal organs (such as the thyroid gland or abdominal organs) to visualize changes.

By combining these methods, we obtain a precise picture of your physical condition and can take preventative action before any problems arise.
