Frequently asked questions about acupuncture

The first appointment takes 90 minutes. We talk in detail about your medical history, existing findings and your current symptoms. This is followed by a diagnosis based on Chinese medicine and the first treatment.

The needles are very fine. Usually you only feel a brief prick or a slight pulling sensation.

That depends on your concern. In the first session we discuss how many appointments make sense.

First session incl. consultation (90 min) €90, follow-up treatment (60 min) €80, acute treatment (45 min) €50. With proof, a reduced rate of €70 or €60 is possible. You can find all details under Treatments & prices.

I bill according to the German fee schedule for naturopaths (GebüH). Private health insurance, Beihilfe and supplementary naturopathy insurance reimburse all or part of the costs, depending on your plan. If you have statutory health insurance, you pay yourself. You can pay in cash, via PayPal or by invoice.

Yes. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine work well alongside medical, psychotherapeutic or physiotherapy treatment and medication. Just tell me what else you're currently doing.

Acupuncture is low-risk. A small bruise may appear where a needle was placed, and some people feel relaxed or tired afterwards. Occasionally symptoms temporarily get worse for about 24 to 48 hours (initial worsening).
