Specialised expertise
We start with the medical condition and identify where relevant expertise is available.
CHICOVERY
Specialised treatment journeys, organised worldwide
Not every treatment, specialist method or medical expertise is available everywhere.
CHICOVERY
The right treatment is not always nearby
Medical knowledge is distributed around the world.
Prepared before departure
Medical records, suitability, objectives and treatment options are reviewed before travel is planned.
One coordinated pathway
Treatment, practical organisation and medical handover are connected into one patient pathway.
Treatment areas
Medical treatment journeys
Every Chicovery journey is built around a clear treatment area, a medical indication and specialised expertise.
Not a general health trip, but a prepared treatment pathway.
- Neurology & stroke recovery
- Medical skin therapy
- Chronic pain, CRPS and neuropathy
- Intensive rehabilitation
- Healthy Aging
CHINA & MOROCCO
Treatment destinations
Chicovery focuses its international treatment journeys on specialised hospitals and treatment centres in China. For each patient, we look for the medical expertise, treatment technique and experience that best match the individual treatment question.
At the same time, we are developing the first Chinese TCM hospital in Morocco in Agadir. This brings specialised Chinese medical knowledge and treatment methods closer to patients from Europe, Africa and the region, while treatment pathways requiring specific hospital care or expertise in China take place in China itself.
Treatment areas
Treatment journeys with a clear medical focus
View all treatment areas that Chicovery has currently developed. Each treatment links directly to detailed information about the condition, the possible treatment pathway, the level of evidence and the selection criteria.
CHICOVERY
Neurological recovery after stroke
An intensive recovery pathway for patients with persistent motor, speech, swallowing or functional limitations after stroke. The emphasis is on measurable neurorehabilitation, with specialised Chinese treatment methods used only as an adjunct to conventional rehabilitation.

CHICOVERY
Psoriasis and complex skin diseases
For patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, China may be of interest because of the combination of modern dermatology, newer locally available biologics, phototherapy and specialised dermatological TCM techniques.

CHICOVERY
Chronic pain, CRPS and neuropathy
For persistent neuropathic pain, an intensive combined programme may be relevant when medication, conventional pain care and rehabilitation have produced insufficient results. In China, conventional pain techniques are often combined with specialised forms of acupuncture and daily rehabilitation.

CHICOVERY
Intensive medical rehabilitation
For patients who receive insufficient treatment intensity in Europe, a temporary daily rehabilitation programme with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and specialist supervision may offer a practical advantage.

CHICOVERY
Healthy Aging 60+
A complete medical reassessment for people over 60 who are experiencing physical decline, have multiple diagnoses or medications, and want their health reviewed comprehensively. Not a wellness concept, but geriatrics, internal medicine, pharmacology and lifestyle in one pathway.

CHICOVERY
MCI, vascular cognitive decline and early Alzheimer’s disease
Early cognitive decline deserves a broader analysis than simply asking whether someone has Alzheimer’s disease. Vascular damage, sleep, medication, blood pressure, metabolic factors and neurodegeneration may all contribute.

CHICOVERY
Parkinson’s disease and loss of motor function
Medication remains the foundation of Parkinson’s treatment, but some patients continue to experience freezing, balance problems, stiffness, fluctuations or reduced mobility. China is investigating specialised needling techniques and intensive movement programmes as adjunctive approaches.

CHICOVERY
ADHD: non-stimulant and integrative treatment
For parents who deliberately want to explore a non-stimulant route first, China may be of interest because of the combination of child psychiatric assessment, behavioural therapy and standardised Chinese medicinal products such as Jingling Oral Liquid.

CHICOVERY
Access to advanced oncology treatments
China is rapidly developing new cellular therapies, targeted medicines and advanced radiotherapy techniques. For selected patients, this may provide access to treatment that is not yet available in Europe, is difficult to access or is considerably more expensive.

CHICOVERY
Breast implant and silicone complications
In cases of rupture, gel bleed, siliconoma, capsular problems, migration or complex symptoms after implants, a specialised reconstructive and diagnostic pathway may be required. The aim is to identify and treat anatomical damage, not to offer an unproven ‘silicone detox’.

CHICOVERY
Adenomyosis, fibroids and uterus-preserving HIFU
China has extensive experience with high-intensity focused ultrasound in selected women with uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. It may be relevant for patients seeking a uterus-preserving, non-invasive treatment option.

CHICOVERY
Treatment-resistant psychiatry and neuromodulation
For a small group of patients with extremely treatment-resistant OCD, depression or other severe psychiatric disorders, China is investigating advanced neuromodulation such as DBS and focused ultrasound. This is not a pathway for routine first-line psychiatric care.

CHICOVERY
Rare diseases, cell and gene therapy
China has a rapidly expanding pipeline of cell and gene therapies. For some rare conditions, a patient may be able to access a regulated product or clinical trial that is not yet available in Europe or is difficult to access in practice.

CHICOVERY
Tinnitus and complex hearing complaints
Tinnitus remains a major unresolved healthcare problem. China has specialised TCM schools for tinnitus and hearing disorders, but the current evidence is not yet strong enough to claim a proven unique treatment.

Let us look together for a suitable solution
Not every medical question fits within an existing treatment programme. Every patient, diagnosis and medical history is different. If your treatment or condition is not in our current overview, we can use your medical file to investigate which specialist expertise, treatment methods and international centres may be relevant. Every treatment journey is tailored to the individual.
FOR HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS
Is there a treatment problem in your country? Let us investigate an international treatment pathway together.
Hospitals and healthcare institutions may face long waiting times, insufficient capacity, missing specialist expertise or patient groups for whom no suitable local treatment pathway is available.
Together with the institution, Chicovery can investigate whether a treatment pathway in China can be developed for a clearly defined patient group. We consider not only the treatment itself, but also medical selection, transfer of records, quality, planning, guidance, costs and integration of follow-up care in the patient’s own country.

How Chicovery works
A treatment journey begins before departure
Travel is organised only after the medical situation has been reviewed and a suitable treatment route has been identified.
- Medical intake — The patient provides diagnoses, history, medication and relevant medical records.
- File review — The medical question and available documentation are structured for assessment.
- Treatment centre selection — We identify a hospital, centre or team whose expertise matches the case.
- Medical acceptance — The receiving medical team decides whether treatment is appropriate and feasible.
- Treatment plan — The programme, expected duration and required examinations are prepared.
CHINA & MOROCCO
Treatment in China
Access to specialised hospital programmes where conventional medicine, rehabilitation and selected Chinese medical methods may be combined.
For certain conditions, treatment methods have been developed within specific Chinese medical schools over several decades.
