As a result of my fellowship in Toronto, Canada, in 2017, I have developed specific skills in the interventional treatment of pain by neuromodulation (implantation of spinal cord and peripheral stimulators) as well as in musculoskeletal ultrasound-guided injections.

 

My areas of interest are cryoneurolysis of the peripheral nerves in the case of chronic pain, regenerative medicine by injection of PRP and stem cells within the context of degenerative diseases (back, joints), and neuromodulation, especially peripheral neuromodulation within the context of post-traumatic or post-operative neuropathic pain.

After a university career as senior physician at CHUV in Lausanne, I joined the Pain Clinic at Hôpital de la Tour in Meyrin, Switzerland, in order provide patients with the best possible antalgesic treatment within the shortest possible time.

Areas of expertise:

  • Chronic post-surgical pain
  • Painful peripheral neuropathies
  • Joint and musculoskeletal pain
  • Chronic spinal pain
  • Orofacial and dental pain
  • Post-herpetic pain
  • Headaches
  • Pelvic pain
  • Complex regional pain syndrome
  • Regenerative medicine
