About Me

Drawing from personal experience

As a very active person who loves sports, I have repeatedly experienced the limits of conventional medicine, which is why I started looking for alternative methods. I came across Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture in the early years of my medical education.

What I do different

A modern approach to an ancient practice

I emphasize evidence-based medicine and draw on unique practical experience.

  • Medical Acupuncture

    According to the guiding principle of the German Medical Association for Acupuncture (DÄGfA).

  • Holistic Medical Care

    Including the evaluation of therapy-relevant radiological imaging, if necessary.

  • Focus on Sports Medicine Pain Therapy

    Many years of close cooperation with referring orthopaedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, and sports physicians in identifying the causes and therapeutic indications of corresponding pain syndromes and injury patterns.

  • Quiet Practice Atmosphere and Multilingual

    Sufficient time for diagnostics and therapy. We can speak in German, English, Spanish or French.

Science-based Therapy

TCM may seem very different from conventional medicine, but these two medical worlds are by no means mutually exclusive. The scientific teaching approach of the German Medical Association for Acupuncture (DÄGfA), shows that the effects of acupuncture can largely be explained scientifically/neurophysiologically.

The process

How to get Started

Getting started with acupuncture is very straightforward. Here is the process at a glance.

  • Detailed medical history interview

    including an additional symptom-related physical examination as well as a tongue diagnosis.

  • Information and patient agreement

    An agreement made together that sets out the expectations and responsibilities between the doctor and the patient.

  • Acupuncture treatment according to TCM criteria

    The needles remain in points of the body for about 30 minutes to develop their therapeutic effect, during which time the patient can relax.

  • Planning any further treatments

    Usually around 5-15 treatments, once or twice per week.
