About the specialty
When the cause of pain lies in the nervous system
A neurological diagnosis is rarely made at first glance. Investigation begins with neuroimaging, MRI and CT, and is complemented by electrophysiology, EMG and nerve conduction studies, and by genetic testing where a hereditary cause is suspected.
Neurosurgical procedures are performed under the operating microscope: tumours of the brain and spinal cord, cervical and lumbar disc herniations, haemorrhages. Microsurgical technique makes the operation more precise and spares healthy tissue.
Chronic pain is a dedicated field. The programme is built step by step: individual testing, a personal plan, neurostimulation or nerve blocks, physiotherapy and psychological support, followed by follow-up care after discharge.

Questions and answers
Frequently asked questions
How much do diagnostics and treatment cost?
The cost depends on the scope of diagnostics and the type of procedure. We request the cost estimate from the clinic and pass it on to you before treatment begins, with a clear statement of what it includes.
Can I get a professor's opinion without travelling to Switzerland?
Yes. We arrange a review of your records and a second opinion from a professor in the relevant field, before any travel is planned.
How long does it take to organise the trip?
Usually 5–10 working days, depending on urgency and whether a visa is required.
Do I need to speak a foreign language?
A medical interpreter accompanies you to your appointments and remains available throughout your stay in Switzerland.
Why come through CorSwiss rather than directly to a clinic?
We are your independent representative and a full-service Swiss medical concierge. We select the best specialist for your case from across Switzerland, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent cost estimate before treatment begins. From there, everything is in one pair of hands: medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation, including for those travelling with you, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical matter. Your personal medical manager guides your case from the first enquiry until you return home, and stays in touch afterwards: we monitor results remotely and coordinate your follow-up.
