Most health insurance companies reimburse osteopathic treatments without a doctor's referral under supplementary insurance policies for complementary and alternative medicine. The extent of reimbursement depends on your insurance policy. Please find out in advance to what extent your insurance company will contribute to the treatment costs.
The osteopath activates the self-healing of the body and restores the inner balance with special treatment techniques performed with the hands alone. Blocked anatomical structures regain their original freedom, because healthy "life is movement", which can be seen in joint movements, the heartbeat or breathing.

A good cooperation with conventional and complementary medicine (homeopaths, Chinese medicine) is important to me and is sought after consultation with the patient in the given case. There are also cases that need specific clarification. Possibly more detailed diagnostic clarifications (X-ray/CT/MRI) or a laboratory are needed.
