Acupuncture / TCM
Traditional Chinese Medicine for holistic pain therapy. Ancient healing art combined with modern medicine.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a healing method from China that is over 2,000 years old. According to traditional Chinese teachings, the energy "Qi" flows through the body along defined pathways (meridians).
By inserting fine needles at specific points, the energy flow is regulated and physical and mental balance is restored. Modern scientific studies confirm its effectiveness for various pain conditions.
In our practice, we combine traditional Chinese medicine with modern orthopedic diagnostics for optimal treatment.
