At Graz Ragnitz Private Hospital, our patients are cared for by ex­perienced medical practi­tioners specia­lized in anes­thesia and inten­sive care and skilled in all the usual methods of anesthesia and post­operative pain therapy. To ensure optimal care and support, multiple special­ties work together in a multi­disciplinary manner where necessary. This could include specia­lists in internal medicine, neurology, ortho­pedics, psycho­somatic aspects, radio­logy and anes­thesia. Physical thera­pists, nursing staff, and dietitians are also included on the treat­ment team as needed.

Which pain management procedures are carried out at our hospital?

Chronic pain is one of the most under-addressed medical problems of our day. Graz Ragnitz Private Hospital is committed to providing all possible assis­tance to patients suffering from chronic pain and to help them enjoy im­proved quality of life. Pain treat­ment begins with the physician inquiring sensi­tively about the patient’s personal medical history in order to acquire as much information as precisely as possible. A broad range of treat­ment options are then available to address the issue – from conservative treat­ment to complex inter­ventional methods. The principles of modern pain medicine call for employing the gentlest treat­ment methods first, followed by inten­sifica­tion of the treat­ment, if necessary.

Pain during childbirth

Relieving pain during childbirth is a common procedure at Graz Ragnitz Private Hospital.

In obstetric care, we use epidural anes­thesia (EDA) – in the form of the so-called “walking epidural”, which allows the mother to remain almost fully mobile. A medical specialist with experience in this proce­dure is available 24 hours a day.
