Therapy & Naturopathy

General Practice

I offer GP care for all general medical concerns, with personal examinations and consultations – for patients with statutory health insurance, self-paying and privately insured patients. As a GP, I see my role as a bridge between the medical specialties: coordinating your care and – where necessary – referring you on to specialists in a spirit of trust.

Examinations & preventive care at the GP practice

GP care includes, among other things, the general health check, ECG and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, lung function testing, laboratory tests and blood analyses, vaccinations and various preventive and early-detection examinations. You will find a detailed overview in the Prevention & Diagnostics section. As services covered by statutory health insurance, I offer GP consultations, examinations and treatments – for example, getting your blood pressure properly controlled, as well as advice on, and diagnosis and treatment of, all general medical conditions.

From the age of 35, statutory health insurance covers the health check only every three years and only to a limited extent – with just a few blood values and no further examinations such as an ECG or lung function test. This makes genuinely early detection of illnesses hardly possible. I therefore recommend an annual health check as a self-pay service, which can be tailored to your individual needs.

Vaccinations & travel vaccination advice

We vaccinate according to the recommendations of the German Standing Committee on Vaccination (STIKO) – please bring your vaccination record with you regularly. We also offer vaccination advice and travel vaccinations. Travel vaccination advice is a self-pay service (depending on effort, from €35).

GP-centred care (HZV)

With GP-centred care, you voluntarily enrol with us for one year as your regular first point of contact. We then coordinate your entire treatment – from diagnostics and specialist referrals to preventive care – so that everything fits together well, at no extra cost to you. We are currently preparing to take part; please feel free to ask us about it.

Programmes for chronic conditions (DMP) & other examinations

Structured treatment programmes (disease management programmes) for asthma, COPD, coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus. We also carry out medical examinations for lorry (HGV) driving licences and other examinations.

Home visits

Where there is a strict medical need, home visits are covered by statutory health insurance. They are also available independently of this as an optional service, in which case they are billed as a private or self-pay service. I only make home visits in the immediate local area. In particular cases, I also send my staff to your home to take blood samples.

Functional Medicine & Orthomolecular Medicine

Functional medicine is a holistic approach to treating illnesses and health complaints. It incorporates what is known as orthomolecular medicine, but goes beyond it to address further holistic aspects – for example relaxation techniques, nutrition, stress reduction, breathing techniques, exercise recommendations and much more.

Orthomolecular medicine is a form of treatment that aims to preserve health as far as possible and to treat illnesses through the targeted diagnosis and therapy of micronutrients (such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids). In my practice, orthomolecular medicine is used either to complement conventional medicine or on its own, depending on the case.

For this, we analyse what are known as micronutrients in blood, urine and stool – for example vitamins, minerals and trace elements, individual enzymes, amino acids or hormones, gut flora or inflammation markers. We can then correct any imbalances in a targeted way – orally, by injection or by infusion and, in certain cases, also with a vaccination. You will find sample prices for these analyses under Services & Prices: Specialist Laboratory Analyses.

Acupuncture & Acutaping

In acupuncture, fine needles are placed at defined points. This can support the body’s self-regulation. Depending on your concern and the indication, I use different forms:

• Body acupuncture – can help with many kinds of pain, e.g. migraine, tension headaches, back pain and muscle tension; it can also have a supportive effect in exhaustion, menopausal symptoms and low mood.
• Ear acupuncture – can help with pain (e.g. knee osteoarthritis, back pain), support smoking cessation and weight reduction, and have a supportive effect in allergies, exhaustion and low mood.
• Acupressure & acutaping – gentle, needle-free methods that can provide support above all with pain and muscle tension, but also with exhaustion and low mood.

Naturopathic Treatments & Biological Medicine

To complement conventional medicine, I offer selected naturopathic treatments:

• Bioidentical hormone therapy – this involves giving the body hormones whose chemical molecular structure corresponds to that of the body’s own hormones. They are often derived from plants, for example the yam root. This means the therapy can help with menopausal symptoms, for example.
• Western herbal therapy – herbs can help to relieve complaints, for example colds, menopausal symptoms, pain, exhaustion and many other indications.
• Naturopathic infusions – we put these together individually and use them in many different ways. They can be used as a supportive measure, e.g. for exhaustion, stress, susceptibility to infections, against pain or for a better complexion.

Infusion Therapy

We offer a wide range of individual infusions. One particular focus, for example, is iron infusions – many patients request them for their well-being and for exhaustion and hair loss. We often combine them with a high-dose vitamin B complex infusion, which can support the nerves and energy metabolism.

The high-dose vitamin C infusion is also very popular – it can be used as a supportive measure, for instance for susceptibility to infections, for the complexion and for general well-being. We also give infusions with magnesium (e.g. for muscle tension), folic acid, vitamin B6, biotin or coenzyme Q10. Other infusions are also used.

Together with you, I decide on the infusion therapy that is right for you. An infusion usually means spending around 20 minutes with us – in a pleasant, calm atmosphere. Certain infusions (e.g. with biotin and vitamin B complex) can take longer; please ask us and plan accordingly.

What the individual micronutrients can do, why we recommend lab tests and what to consider beforehand is explained in detail under Infusions.

Intravenous Injections

In addition to infusion therapy, we also offer intravenous injections – for example with vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamin B complex, iron or vitamin C, as well as mixtures with other naturopathic preparations. Among other things, they can be used as a supportive measure for exhaustion, susceptibility to infections and similar concerns.

Stress Medicine & Exhaustion

Persistent exhaustion does not always have a psychological cause. Iron deficiency, a thyroid disorder, a vitamin D deficiency, a sleep disorder or an emerging illness can produce the same picture. It therefore makes sense to start with a thorough medical assessment: for this we use a consultation, a physical examination and targeted laboratory tests.

What we can look at

Iron status, thyroid values, various vitamins and inflammation markers, plus – depending on the question – stress hormones and markers of oxidative and nitrosative stress, as well as a wide range of other parameters. We decide on the scope together; you will find an overview of the available analyses under Laboratory & Micronutrients.

If something is found

We then treat it as part of GP care, supplemented where appropriate by functional medicine and micronutrient therapy. If a condition requiring treatment is suspected, such as depression or an anxiety disorder, I will address this openly and help with a referral.

Sick notes & phased return to work

GP care includes certificates of incapacity for work (sick notes) and, when a return to work is coming up, support with a phased return.

If no finding requiring treatment remains, that is good news to begin with. The medical assessment tells you what is physically in order and what is not.
