Physician - Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine

Health & Medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is complementary to materially orientated Western medicine. Through its own diagnostics and therapy, it can recognise pathological system deviations and restore a physiological balance. This is achieved through various healing methods such as lifestyle counselling, nutritional teaching, drug therapy, acupuncture, Qi Gong, Tai Chi and massage. Acupuncture has established itself in the West as the most frequently used method of TCM. It includes the diagnosis and treatment of diseases within the framework of TCM principles and is used in the areas of prevention, therapy and rehabilitation. It is used in the treatment of functional disorders, pain, psychosomatic and organic diseases. In acupuncture
