Clinic for preventative medicine: preventative medical screening
Prevention is better than cure.
The main purpose of preventative medical screening – preventative medicine, is to allow early detection of disease and to undertake timely treatment if necessary.
In general any disease which is discovered at an early stage is easier to treat. Preventative screening investigates whether there are any conditions present which are still in the early stages.
Preventative breast screening is widely known but is limited to the breasts. Preventative screening is also possible for other parts of your body or bodily functions.
If necessary we can prescribe treatment or refer you to a specialist.

Preventative Care
The government is trying to promote a healthier society. It’s not just about preventing illness, but also about promoting a healthier lifestyle. Although our health has improved greatly over the last 150 years, currently this progress seems to have come to a halt .
Overall the government is not doing enough.
Fortunately many people take things into their own hands, and visit a doctor or a clinic specialised in preventative medicine.
CT scan or MRI scan
Commercial companies often advise patients to have a CT scan or MRI, even if it is not necessary. It gives patients a false sense of security.
A Total Body Scan is misleading.
A CT or MRI scan is a valuable screening method, but only for certain areas of the body and only if it is absolutely necessary.
Occupational medicine
The health and wellness of yourself and your employees is crucial for the profitability of your company.
Read more about medical check-up and examination for employers, managers and other employees.
Obesity
Being overweight is an important risk factor. It can lead to heart problems, high blood pressure and diabetes.
We can help you to lose weight, under medical supervision.
If, despite everything, dieting doesn't help to reduce your weight and your excess weight presents a danger to your general health, one solution could be a stomach reduction.
Heart and arteries
Disease of the heart and blood vessels are the main cause of death in the Western world.
Regular check-ups and timely treatment are recommended to identify any risks and treat them in time.
A Cardiovasular Screening can help with this.
Blood tests
Depending on your age, background and lifestyle, a number of Lab tests are unnecessary or inappropriate.
Our basic blood tests already provide us with a lot of information. Only then do we consider whether additional tests are useful.
We collect enough blood and urine the first time to carry out further tests, if the first tests reveal that this is necessary. This means we don't have to take more blood or collect more urine a second time.
Total Body Scan
A total body scan does not exist. We can screen for certain risk factors, with a sound scientific basis.
Each screening has its limitations and one can never guarantee with 100% certainty that there is no disease.
The Belgian order of Medical Practitioners warns against misleading advertising.
Second opinion
A second opinion is a new, independent assessment of a physical complaint, illness or diagnosis. A second opinion can be useful if there are any doubts about a diagnosis or uncertainty about the prescribed treatment.
Don't hesitate to ask us to help you by giving a second opinion.
Cancer prevention
Cancer complaints or symptoms are mostly experienced only when the disease is fairly advanced. Often the complaints are not particularly disturbing or distressing.
We offer effective preventative investigative techniques which can detect the early signs of certain cancers.
Preventative medical screening is especially recommended for people with high risk factors.
Food Intolerance: Blood test
Recent scientifc research shows that food intolerance - sensitivity to certain foods can be linked to various complaints such as:
- Obesity / abdominal bloating / fluid retention
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrom

Osteoporosis - Bone loss
Osteoporosis screening doesn' t just involve extensve blood analysis, a total hormonal report, DEXA bone density scan and DEXA body composition analysis, during which we also examine other risks which are associate with osteoporosis.
Tailor-made osteoporosis therapy requires a complete, specialised pre-examination.
Osteoporosis screening helps to evaluate the state of your health, and if necessary, to detemine the appropriate therapy.
Medical Imaging
Radiography - Doppler - Bone Density Scan - Ultrasound
A picture sometimes says more than a thousand words, this is also true for medical imaging.

Our doctors adhere to strict ethical standards and norms, and will inform you about what you can, and especially what you can not expect from preventative medicine.
