Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient traditional Chinese treatment method. By means of fine needles, meridians are pricked in order to bring the body back into balance and thus stimulate it to heal itself. According to Chinese belief, life energy flows in the meridians that run through the skin. If this flow is disturbed, it can lead to illness and pain.

Painful conditions of the musculoskeletal system such as tennis elbow, back and joint pain, but also headaches are particularly suitable for acupuncture. Acupuncture can also be supportive for states of exhaustion or menopausal complaints such as hot flashes and irritability. Please note that I do not treat with Chinese herbs.

Appointments by telephone. In urgent cases, a short consultation is usually possible on the same day.
