Therapy


Kinesiology procedures are based on the manual examination of muscle function. The American George Goodheart, Doctor of Chiropractic, developed applied kinesiology in the 1960s. It is an important diagnostic and therapeutic method in complementary medicine.
Goodheart observed that mental and physical disorders manifest themselves in a sudden decrease in the available holding power of the voluntary musculature. This is diagnosed using standardized tests for individual muscles and muscle groups.

Kinesiology is used to detect the following disorders:

• Structural, chemical and mental disorders
• Functional disorders of body regions and organ systems
• Intolerances to medication and food
• Allergies or
• Hormonal regulatory disorders
• Lack of mental balance

In the field of dentistry, reliable focus and interference field tests as well as material tests are possible.
Over the course of time, various directions in kinesiology have emerged, such as Touch for Health by Dr. John F. Thie or psychokinesiology or regulation diagnostics by Dr. Klinghardt, which are also used in our practice alongside classic applied kinesiology.

The birth of neural therapy under the title "Unknown remote effects of neural therapy" dates back to 1928. Local anesthetics such as procaine are infiltrated into the painful or surrounding tissue (segment therapy, wheal therapy). Chronic headaches and other painful conditions often disappear in a flash (phenomenon of seconds).
The speed of the healing processes is reminiscent of electrical processes. The nerves of the vegetative nervous system are possible pathways for this. Each of our 40 trillion cells is connected to all other cells through this nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls vital processes in our body such as breathing, blood circulation, temperature, metabolism, etc. By restoring normal electrical conditions in nerves and tissue (repolarization), disturbed functions are normalized again. The neural therapist can set the course for healing with a pain-relieving injection. Repeated injections increase the effect.

Important basic assumptions of neural therapy are:
1. every chronic illness can be caused by an interference field.
2. every "disturbed" area in the body can become an interference field.
3. disease can be cured by eliminating the interference field.

Scars can be the cause of many diseases as interference fields. Scars form so-called adhesions, adhesions of tissue layers. These can lead to functional disorders that have local or systemic consequences. Lymphatic drainage is disturbed, local swelling or pain occurs, functional movement restrictions or metabolic disorders of the entire body can result.

Neural therapy dissolves tissue adhesions by injecting medication. It promotes lymphatic drainage and can thus eliminate the interference field. Pain, musculoskeletal disorders and diseases of the internal organs can be significantly improved. Neural therapy also has a regulating effect on the vegetative balance and thus promotes numerous metabolic processes in the body.

Neural therapy is completely harmless when used correctly. It is not possible for the treatment to worsen the condition.

Environmental medicine is a relatively new field of medicine. It is the study of the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with environmental factors.

We mainly deal with clinical environmental medicine, i.e. we look after you with health complaints or abnormal examination findings that can be attributed to environmental factors. The focus here is on heavy metal testing and heavy metal elimination, among other things. We are all exposed to high levels of heavy metals today. Heavy metals, especially mercury, lead and many other metals, can potentially pose a long-term health risk in high concentrations.

Long-term exposure to heavy metals can result in chronic illnesses. Very often, however, non-specific symptoms such as headaches, tiredness, fatigue, susceptibility to infections, etc. are also observed. An unfulfilled desire to have children can also be caused by an increased heavy metal load.
If chronic heavy metal exposure is suspected, we carry out a test for heavy metal exposure in our practice, which detects mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, gold, cobalt, copper, palladium, tin and zinc.
Further information can be found under heavy metal testing and chelation therapy.

Phytotherapy uses pure extracts from flowers, leaves, roots, fruits or the whole plant. Diluted or pure, they are processed into teas, drops, tablets or ointments. In contrast to homeopathy, no potentiation methods are used in herbal medicine.

Herbal medicine is an important pillar of our therapeutic concept. We prescribe numerous proven phytotherapeutic medicines and are happy to advise you on the use of teas.

Manual medicine can be used to successfully treat a variety of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Segmental dysfunctions ("blockages") of the spine and dysfunctions of peripheral joints, fascia and muscles are the starting points of manual medicine.

Hippocrates was already familiar with manual medicine treatments. In the 19th century, Palmer and Still founded the schools of chiropractors and osteopaths in the USA. In Europe, the therapeutic approaches were taken up by doctors, developed further and put on a scientific basis. Doctors and physiotherapists, particularly in England, Scandinavia, Australia and Germany (including Karl Sell), created modern manual medicine.

Today, we no longer speak of "straightening", but of gentle manipulation. Small, quick impulses on the spine, joints and muscles are used to release blockages and achieve lasting pain-relieving effects.

Osteopathy is a manual medicine method. Osteopaths use their hands to detect blockages, loss of movement and incorrect tension in tissue structures. He eliminates them through targeted mobilization and manipulation of the connective tissue and musculoskeletal system.

All tissues and internal organs are included in the therapy. The idea of unrestricted free movement of the individual tissues and the free flow of all body fluids play a key role in the osteopathic concept.

The osteopathic philosophy is based on the following four principles. These principles, combined with the scientific findings of conventional medicine, form the basic framework of osteopathic medicine:

• The body is a holistic unit of body, mind and soul.
• The body has self-healing powers, self-regulating mechanisms and health maintenance systems.
• The body consists of tissue structures whose form and function are inextricably linked.
• Osteopathic therapy is based on the unity of body, mind and soul, the activation of self-healing powers and the inseparable relationship between tissue form and function.

During treatment, the body's rhythms are taken into account in diagnosis and therapy. In general, osteopathy assumes that optimal alignment of the musculoskeletal system leads to the best possible state of health.

In order to be healthy, vital and efficient, our body needs vital substances in optimal quantities. In addition to vitamins, minerals and trace elements, these also include amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes and other related substances.
Orthomolecular medicine is defined as the prevention and treatment of diseases with the body's own substances. Orthomolecular medicine aims to provide the body with an optimal supply of vital substances. The immune system is stabilized and strengthened. A variety of diseases can be prevented or better cured (including cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders). Orthomolecular medicine also counteracts the ageing process of the organism and helps to keep the body fit and vital into old age.
Further information can be found under the therapy type high-dose vitamin therapy.

Oxygen is required for all processes in the organism. Ultimately, a lack of oxygen plays a decisive role in all diseases. This is particularly evident, for example, in heart attacks, smoker's legs or strokes.

Oxygen therapy enriches the tissue with oxygen and can therefore support regeneration. In addition, an improved oxygen supply initiates a series of enzymatic and catalytic processes that have a positive effect on the body.

Depending on the indication, we offer three types of oxygen therapy:

• Activated oxygen is inhaled via an "Airnergy" device
• Ozone is mixed with the patient's own blood and injected intramuscularly
• Ozone is applied rectally and absorbed via the intestinal mucosa.

"Procaine is the royal medicine for me" - Prof. Aslan, 1954.

Infusion neural therapy, pain and regulation treatment and deacidification.

The multiple effects of the neural therapeutic agent procaine are enhanced and extended by the combination with the base sodium bicarbonate (NaBi). The infusion reduces pain, improves the general condition and reduces acidity. Anti-inflammatory and balancing effects are also observed. The treatment also enables a general reduction in stress and leads to more vitality.

In addition to high-dose vitamin therapy, orthomolecular medicine is discussed below in the context of complementary tumor and cancer therapy.

A balanced diet is also the basis for maintaining and restoring health in tumor therapy. In addition to oxygen, our organism absorbs the necessary chemical building blocks for all metabolic processes through our diet.

However, various studies show that a balanced diet with proteins, carbohydrates and fats is not sufficient to provide all the nutrients required for healthy cell metabolism, the corresponding energy balance, cell regeneration and the control of bodily functions.

On the one hand, the quality of our food has deteriorated significantly, and on the other, many of the so-called vital substances are no longer available in sufficient quantities in our diet. Our body is therefore dependent on supplementary vital substances in the form of vitamins and trace elements, fats, amino acids and enzymes. Orthomolecular medicine makes use of this knowledge and substitutes these substances. The aim is to prevent deficiency symptoms and compensate for deficiencies.

Many diseases, especially cancer, show a significantly increased need for vital substances. Cancer patients in particular often have a pronounced imbalance between calorie and vital substance intake, impaired liver, intestinal and kidney function and a weakened immune system. The latter is often also due to chemotherapeutic, radiological and surgical therapies, which have numerous side effects.

Vitamins, vital substances and antioxidants administered before, during and after chemotherapy offer healthy cells optimized protection against the side effects of conventional cancer treatment. They also offer protection against new cell degeneration.

In addition to selenium, zinc, methionine and vitamins A, C and E, other antioxidants and various enzymes, amino acids also play an important role in our complementary therapy. These can be supplied to the body both orally (by mouth) and by infusion.

The orthomolecular concomitant therapy offered in our practice by means of peroral and intravenous substitution of vitamins, antioxidants and enzymes strengthens the body's own defenses and can help to slow tumor growth. It increases the individual tolerance of conventional conventional medical therapy and can prevent recurrence and metastasis.

High-dose vitamin therapy is also suitable for post-operative conditions and chronic illnesses such as prolonged infections. Our practice has developed specific combinations of medication in the form of infusion therapies that have a restorative and regenerative effect, alleviate therapy-related side effects and strengthen the body's own healing power.

Autologous blood therapy utilizes the body's self-healing powers. It leads to a noticeable improvement in the body's response and an increase in the immune system in the blood.

The therapeutic application is very simple: blood is taken from the body and re-injected. The blood can be supplied to the body either unchanged or enriched with medication. Autologous blood therapy has generally proven effective in stimulating the immune system, especially in the case of allergic diseases, e.g. hay fever.

Enzymes are mostly proteins that catalyze reactions in biological systems. Enzymes activate the non-specific immune system, which leads to better defense against viruses.

Other effects include the improvement of blood flow properties, the reduction of platelet aggregation (aggregation of blood platelets), anti-inflammation, tissue decongestion and the activation of tumor necrosis factors, which can be helpful in tumor diseases.

Enzyme therapy is mainly used successfully for chronic inflammation. The main areas of application in our practice are: sports medicine, orthopaedics, surgery, rheumatology, malignant diseases and viral diseases.

Iron deficiency is widespread. Typical symptoms of iron deficiency are

• Anxiety disorders
• Burnout
• Chronic fatigue
• Concentration disorders
• Depressive states
• Sleep disorders
• Hormonal disorders
• Hair loss
• Nail brittleness
• Neck pain and headaches
• Dizziness
• Restless legs syndrome
• Liver diseases
• Pancreatic diseases

First, we determine the overall iron profile in the blood and look for the individual cause of the iron deficiency. The ferritin value, which is determined using the iron profile, is decisive for the prescription of iron therapy. If iron therapy is indicated, we work with proven iron infusions that are well tolerated. Iron infusions can significantly improve the state of health within just a few weeks.

What does the body need iron for?
Blood formation: Iron is the central molecule of the red blood pigment haemoglobin. Chronic iron deficiency can lead to late-stage anemia (iron deficiency anemia).
Energy: The mitochondria of the body's cells require iron for ATP metabolism.
Basic substance: The formation of stable fibers in hair roots, nails, skin, mucous membranes and bones requires iron.
Hormone formation: Numerous hormones, cortisol, dopamine, melatonin, the "happiness hormone" serotonin, thyroid and sex hormones are dependent on sufficient iron supplies.
Immune system: Without a sufficient iron supply, optimal immune competence is not possible, infections and allergies can become more frequent with iron deficiency.
Gastrointestinal tract: Acid production and the stability of the mucous membrane (acid protection) are dependent on a good iron supply.
Myoglobin formation: The iron-containing protein is responsible for optimal oxygen transport in the muscles.

The F.X. Mayr cure strengthens the body. It activates the self-healing powers and represents a comprehensive, holistic medical healing and prevention method: The correct eating habits are trained, the gastrointestinal tract is cleansed, relieved and strengthened, the entire body is purified and detoxified. Because: A healthy gut is the root of a healthy person.
During a therapy according to F.X. Mayr therapy, not only can the body regenerate, but the mind and soul can also be refreshed and strengthened. Chronic illnesses can heal, vitality and joie de vivre return.

The starting point for F.X. Mayr Preventive Medicine are the five most common nutritional errors: we eat too often, too much, too heavy, too quickly and too late in the evening. This results in fermentation and putrefaction processes in the intestines, which can lead to self-poisoning. Chronic illnesses such as gastrointestinal complaints, food intolerances, back pain, sleep disorders, cardiovascular diseases, exhaustion, hormonal and metabolic disorders can be the result.

The six principles of F.X. Mayr Preventive Medicine:

• Gentle: The digestive system is relieved by an individual intensive diet and can thus regenerate.
• Cleansing: Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) and a sufficient supply of water cleanse the digestive tract.
• Training: Targeted coaching lays the foundation for a sustainable change in eating habits in everyday life - for more eating pleasure.
• Substitution: Alkaline powder (sodium hydrogen carbonate) is prescribed regularly to balance the acid-base balance. Vitamins and minerals are only substituted if necessary.
• Soul: stress factors are defined and a new rhythm of life is established. Healthy sleep is also important here.
• Sport: "Keep moving" is the motto for a healthy life balance.

With its comparatively simple and sustainable therapeutic principles, Modern Mayr Medicine offers a treatment method that is easy to implement and integrate into everyday life.

In the past, the F.X. Mayr cure prescribed bread rolls and milk ("milk and bread roll diet"). Today, patients with lactose intolerance and any other food intolerance can also follow the diet without any concerns: The diet is prescribed individually and can also be vegan.

An important key to the success of the cure is the medical abdominal treatment. The abdominal treatment significantly supports detoxification via the digestive tract and the lymphatic system. It restores the intestine's elasticity and serves to diagnose the course of the cure.

The F.X. Mayr cure usually lasts 1-2 weeks. It can be carried out in our practice on an outpatient basis. The cure is particularly tailored to the needs of working people and can be easily integrated into the working day.

The following effects have been scientifically proven:

• Longer life expectancy
• Fewer age-related illnesses
• Reduction of blood sugar and insulin levels
• Blood pressure reduction
• Heart-protective effect
• Improvement of brain performance
• Improvement of digestive performance and regeneration of the intestinal flora
• Decrease in inflammation and oxidative stress
• Weight loss

A healthy gut is the basis of every recovery. That's why we place particular emphasis on sustainable intestinal rehabilitation.

In a healthy adult, up to 100 trillion bacteria live in our intestines. This intestinal flora has a variety of tasks. It ensures smooth digestion and helps to strengthen the immune system. If the so-called symbiosis of bacteria with the human organism is disturbed - through poor nutrition, stress or medication such as antibiotics - a pathological imbalance of the various bacterial strains occurs and pathogens and fungi can multiply. Possible consequences are fermentation and putrefaction processes with flatulence and discomfort, constipation and diarrhea, food intolerances and chronic diseases of other organ systems.

After a detailed medical history and a stool examination, we determine an individual therapy. This includes the following components:

• Symbiosis control
• Nutritional advice
• F.X. Mayr cure
• High-dose vitamin therapy
• Sports medical support

Symbiosis control (also known as microbiological therapy or intestinal rehabilitation) is a complementary medical therapy that influences the composition of the so-called symbionts, the intestinal flora in the human digestive tract.

The following therapies are carried out according to the findings of the stool examination:

• Nutritional advice
• Anti-inflammatory therapy (frankincense preparations)
• Milieu stabilization and flora build-up with probiotics (drugs with living germs that occur in the intact intestinal flora and are part of the protective flora)
• Symbiosis control (immune system modulation by germs with a high affinity to the intestinal immune system)
• F.X. Mayr cure to change your diet and regenerate the digestive tract

As a rule, intestinal rehabilitation therapy lasts 3-6 months, after which the intestinal flora should be able to regenerate itself and maintain its health.

Colonic irrigation for emptying and cleansing the intestines can be found in all cultures and is the basis of many naturopathic therapy methods.
Colon hydrotherapy is a further development of colonic irrigation. Water is fed into the intestine using a special device. At the same time, the abdominal wall is massaged; this promotes intestinal peristalsis, lymphatic drainage and bowel cleansing. The bowel is completely emptied and cleansed of fecal residues and waste products.

Colon hydrotherapy supports the detoxification of the body and activates the metabolism. It can also be used to treat the following illnesses as prescribed by a doctor:

• Chronic colds
• Fungal infestation of the intestine
• Rheumatic diseases
• Skin diseases
• Migraine, allergies
• Flatulence
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• States of exhaustion

Contraindications for which colon hydrotherapy cannot be used are intestinal surgery, heart disease and pregnancy.

The therapy is usually carried out in series of 3-6 treatment units. Colon hydrotherapy is particularly suitable in combination with fasting cures, the F.X. Mayr cure and a targeted change in diet. It provides a clearly noticeable energy boost, improves mental freshness and reduces many chronic complaints.

Chelation therapy is an outpatient treatment that is ideal for heavy metal detoxification and the treatment of arteriosclerosis. Chelation therapy was initially widespread in America, but is now used worldwide and also in Germany for the successful treatment of chronic heavy metal poisoning.

The body is given an infusion solution containing various trace elements, minerals and vitamins, but above all the active ingredient EDTA. EDTA is an abbreviation for "ethylene diamine tetra acetate", a compound that also occurs in a similar form in protein-rich foods. EDTA has the property of binding heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, as well as the light metal calcium, and excreting them via the kidneys.

The great binding capacity of heavy metals is decisive for EDTA's mode of action. Heavy metals play an important role in the formation of free radicals, which are responsible for the ageing of cells. The indirect reduction of free radicals by EDTA can stop arteriosclerosis, restore cell function and reduce calcium overload. The calcium bound to protein remains unaffected by EDTA and no bone decalcification occurs.

The chelation therapy infusion solution contains only active ingredients that have been approved by the Federal Health Office. There are no serious side effects. There has not been a single serious incident in the last 40 years. Occasionally, minor pain, fatigue or a change in blood pressure or blood sugar levels may occur during the infusions. These are easily controlled, mainly by slowing down the rate of infusion. A thorough medical examination (with blood and urine analysis) before, during and after treatment ensures optimal control.

Recently, we have also succeeded in synthesizing oral EDTA. This gives us the opportunity to continue therapy even during an infusion break.

The indications for chelation therapy are

• Arteriosclerosis (vascular calcification)
• Heart attack/stroke
• Heavy metal poisoning
• Diseases of the rheumatic form
• Arthrosis/arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Diabetic vascular disease
• Degenerative eye diseases
• Chronic fatigue syndrome

DMSO is a natural substance obtained from wood. DMSO is the abbreviation for dimethyl sulfoxide, a colorless and odorless liquid that can combine with both water and organic substances such as fat, protein and carbohydrates.

This is why DMSO is exceptionally good at penetrating biological membranes such as skin and cell walls. DMSO supports and effects the reorganization and regeneration of cells, even in cases of severe tissue damage.

The effect of DMSO can be described as regeneration, protection and modulation. DMSO inhibits inflammation, relieves pain, dilates blood vessels, scavenges radicals, reduces oxidative stress and promotes wound healing. DMSO can be used for all local and systemic inflammatory processes such as sports injuries or rheumatic diseases. Its effect is most impressive in the acute phase of inflammation.

DMSO has been used therapeutically since the 1960s. We prefer to administer DMSO as a subcutaneous injection applied under the skin.

The most important properties of DMSO:

• Antioxidant by binding free radicals
• Anti-inflammatory
• Immunomodulating
• Pain relieving
• Promotes blood circulation

Discharging and draining procedures are also referred to as humoral therapy. Humoral therapy (Latin humores, juices) refers to naturopathic methods for the elimination of toxins and waste products. This resolves chronic disease processes, stimulates the immune system, rebalances the organism and supports healing.

The main areas of application for the discharging and draining procedures are

• Chronic diseases
• Metabolic disorders
• Vascular diseases
• Diseases of the internal organs
• Circulatory disorders
• High blood pressure
• Pain (e.g. headaches, migraines, neck and back pain)
• Diseases of the musculoskeletal system (e.g. rheumatism)
• Menstrual disorders
• Toxin exposure of the body
• General weakness of the immune system

In our practice, we mainly perform bloodletting and cupping as part of TCM/acupuncture.

Our well-being depends on many factors - social, physical and emotional. One very important factor is a healthy hormonal balance. The topic of hormones affects women and men of all ages, but also children and adolescents.

Therapy is preceded by a thorough physical examination and a comprehensive medical history. This results in targeted laboratory tests that reveal deficits and surpluses in the hormone balance.

A blood test is used to determine the sex hormones as well as cortisol, melatonin and DHEA. The thyroid hormone levels are determined in parallel.

The subsequent therapy with bioidentical hormones aims to bring the hormones back into balance individually. Bioidentical hormones are hormones without artificial laboratory chemical changes. They are exactly the same as the hormones produced by the body itself.

The therapy also includes the elimination of disruptive factors and advice on a hormone-friendly diet and lifestyle. This also includes taking a critical look at the cosmetics used: According to BUND, almost a third of cosmetics and personal care products contain hormonally active chemicals that can damage health. BUND has developed an app that you can use to check your care products. It is called ToxFox and can be downloaded for Android or Iphone.

The specific health problems of men are becoming increasingly important in medicine. Many renowned scientists are now looking at how men can stay healthy and vital from midlife onwards and how gender-specific conditions can be created for this.

Sufficient exercise, a healthy diet, a good hormonal balance and inner balance have proven to be the most important prerequisites.

In our practice, we offer our male patients a comprehensive range of holistic and preventative services.

The American physician Dr. Carl Simonton (1942-2009) is one of the pioneers of psycho-oncology. He was a specialist in radiation medicine and oncology. Dr. Simonton developed a concept of imagination/visualization - one of the oldest forms of healing in the world - which has helped numerous patients to awaken their self-healing powers.

The patient is encouraged to focus on aspects of life that bring them joy and fulfillment and to develop corresponding perspectives. In this way, the power of imagination is used to support the effectiveness of treatment methods and activate physical recovery processes.

Further techniques of his work are:

• Healthy thinking
• Development of goals and beneficial perspectives
• Turning to your personal inner source of strength

In this way, healing resources such as peace, confidence, joy and hope can be tapped.

In his seminars, Dr. Simonton repeatedly pointed out the effectiveness of the mind and explained how important and decisive our thoughts are for our health. His statement is: we are healthy by nature. We need more joy, especially in the things we do every day in relation to family, friends and work. We can strengthen our inner peace through our thoughts.

It has been proven that tumor growth is reduced when emotional stress is reduced. Emotional balance promotes recovery. This is why we attach great importance to a therapeutic concept that includes psychosomatic and psychotherapeutic aspects.

Mistletoe therapy for cancer was developed by the founder of anthroposophy Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and the doctor Ita Wegman (1876-1943).

The white berried mistletoe (Viscum album) from various host trees is used. In our practice, mistletoe is used as a complementary cancer treatment for certain malignant tumors as a non-specific stimulation therapy.
Research results show that the immunological effect of mistletoe is very complex. Mistletoe is probably one of the most studied medicinal plants. Over a thousand ingredients have been discovered to date.

Various ingredients have been shown individually and in extracts in vitro to have a cytotoxic effect and to induce programmed cell death, known as apoptosis. They promote angiogenesis (growth of blood vessels) and can protect cell DNA or help repair radiation-induced DNA damage. Natural killer cells, B and T lymphocytes, granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells are stimulated and positively influenced in their behavior, and many cytokines are induced. Mistletoe extracts were antitumorally effective in a series of animal experiments.

As a rule, the mistletoe extract is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) by the patient or, in a clinical setting, directly into the tumor tissue by doctors. Other forms of administration such as infusions are also possible. In our practice, we offer subcutaneous application and show patients and/or family members how to use the therapy.

The biological cancer therapy in our practice comprises a specially and individually compiled therapy plan.

We see the therapy as complementary, i.e. in addition to conventional medical treatment. As a result, it is generally better tolerated, side effects can be significantly reduced, the quality of life increases sustainably and recovery can be faster. On request and after careful consideration of the advantages and disadvantages, biological cancer therapy can also be carried out on its own.

Our concept of biological cancer therapy is put together individually and includes

• High-dose vitamin therapy (orally or by infusion)
• Enzyme therapy
• Ozone-oxygen therapy
• Mistletoe therapy
• Homeopathic and phytotherapeutic concomitant treatment
• Nutritional advice
• F.X. Mayr cure
• Acupuncture
• Psychological support

In order to be healthy, vital and efficient, our body needs vital substances in optimal quantities. In addition to vitamins, minerals and trace elements, these also include amino acids, fatty acids, enzymes and other related substances.
Orthomolecular medicine is defined as the prevention and treatment of diseases with the body's own substances. Orthomolecular medicine aims to provide the body with an optimal supply of vital substances. The immune system is stabilized and strengthened. A variety of diseases can be prevented or better cured (including cardiovascular diseases and musculoskeletal disorders).

However, what sets us apart as a holistic practice is that we can supplement these services with acupuncture, manual medicine, chirotherapy, naturopathy and homeopathy. This enables us to successfully treat a wide range of functional disorders of the musculoskeletal system and harness the full power of medicine. We also cooperate with physiotherapy and training therapy experts.

We support your recovery with our special treatments

We offer pain patients the Liebscher & Bracht method of pain treatment. This involves fascia techniques, osteopressure and the most effective exercise treatments.

Or take advantage of tissue treatments with our induction couch with infrared, as well as automated cupping and massage treatments.

Infusion treatments, e.g. with methysulfonylmethane or procaine base infusions, are also part of our repertoire.

For inflammation, pain, injuries and arthrosis, we have the option of carrying out autologous blood therapy. This involves the patient injecting plasma into the affected area as sterilely as possible. This leads to regeneration processes and faster healing of joints, tendons and other tissue.
