TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) complements the tried and tested conservative procedures in our orthopedic practice. The aim is to relieve pain, improve function and strengthen self-regulation - always evidence-conscious, individual and without any promise of cure. We combine conventional medical diagnostics with TCM methods such as acupuncture, cupping, Tuina, moxibustion, Chinese phytotherapy and exercise approaches (e.g. Qigong). This creates an integrative treatment concept for complaints of the musculoskeletal system in Hamburg, Dorotheenstrasse 48.

FAQ

Some patients feel a change after 1-3 sessions, others need 4-6 sessions or more. The effect is individual and depends on the diagnosis, chronicity and accompanying measures.

The disposable needles used are very fine. You often feel a short prick, sometimes a feeling of pressure, warmth or De-Qi. There should be no more severe symptoms - we adapt the technology.

Yes. TCM is often used as an adjunct. Please inform us about all medications so that we can take note of interactions (especially with phytotherapy).

Possible side effects are usually mild and temporary (hematomas, fatigue). During moxibustion we pay attention to skin protection. Phytotherapy is carefully checked for interactions. We will clarify this for you in advance.

We often recommend 4-6 sessions for testing purposes. If the development is positive, the frequency can be reduced and the focus can be placed on self-exercises. The plan is individual.

No. If there is a clear indication for surgery, TCM does not replace the procedure. In many cases with a conservative option, TCM can accompany complaints and strengthen conservative strategies.

Some procedures are possible with caution and adjusted point selection, others are avoided. Please always discuss an existing or possible pregnancy.
