Acupuncture is a treatment method that has been around for thousands of years and helps the body to activate its own regulatory mechanisms.

By stimulating points on the ear and on meridians distributed over the body, stagnations can be released and the flow of energy can be brought back into balance according to traditional Chinese teachings.

There are numerous studies which prove the effectiveness of acupuncture for various diseases very well. Particularly impressive results have been achieved in several studies investigating the effect of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic pain (especially lumbago, knee arthrosis, headaches, pain after shingles). However, there are also good treatment results for many other acute or chronic illnesses such as infections, allergies, digestive problems, migraines, psychosomatic complaints and many more.

Treatment with acupuncture in my practice is currently only covered by (most) private health insurances or has to be paid by the patient him- or herself.
