The supplementary insurance for complementary medicine covers a large part of the costs of osteopathic treatment. We recommend that you clarify the scope of your coverage with your health insurance company in advance.

The principle of osteopathy is that all body systems (bones, joints, muscles, organs, vessels, nerves, etc.) are interconnected. They influence each other. In this way, the body functions as a unit and always tries to remain in balance.

The prerequisite for this self-regulation is optimal functioning of all body systems. In order for these systems to work together properly, the free mobility of each individual body structure must be guaranteed. If this is not the case, we speak of dysfunction. Such a dysfunction prevents the body from activating its own self-healing powers. Symptoms such as pain appear, which present themselves as a result of a number of different dysfunctions. It becomes obvious that self-regulation is overtaxed.

Mainly functional dysfunctions of the different body systems are treated in people of all ages. In case of serious or acute diseases and strong structural-inflammatory changes, the treatment must be accompanied by orthodox medicine.
