- Über mich -

Mein Behandlungskonzept

Unter dem Motto "Das Ganze ist mehr als die Summe seiner Teile" gilt mein besonderes Interesse der ganzheitlichen Veterinärmedizin. Viele Erkrankungen unserer Haustiere können durch begleitende Maßnahmen positiv beeinflusst werden. Nach einer umfassenden Aufarbeitung der Krankengeschichte wird ein Therapieplan individuell für Ihr Tier erstellt.

Therapieformen

Meine Fachgebiete sind Akupunktur, Chiropraktik und Physiotherapie sowie die Cranio-Sacrale Energiearbeit. Diese Methoden lassen sich gut miteinander sowie mit schulmedizinischen Therapiekonzepten kombinieren und haben ihren Stellenwert auch in der Prävention.
