People nowadays suffer from all possible kinds of pains, be it pains of the musculo-skeletal system such as joint pains, muscle aches, back pains, be it headaches of different kinds including migraine, also abdominal and lower abdominal pains, or finally pains in the sense of Fibromyalgia. Causes are mostly either inflammation of the affected parts of the body, sometimes autoimmune diseases, or degeneration from wear and tear e.g. of the joints.

Practicing holistic medicine we always look for the cause of the inflammation and pain, which is often not so obvious as that of the headaches in the case of sinusitis. Headaches could , for example, arise from  problems localized afar, such as the “shaoyang” (gallbladder meridian) headaches we know from Chinese medicine. Or knee pains due to a tooth lesion. Inflammation often has its origin in a state of excessive acidity of the body which in turn could be due to problems of the bowels – all the metabolic processes are dependent on the healthy functions of intake and excretion of the guts. Sometimes a deficiency of certain vitamins and trace elements could be part of the underlying cause. Autoimmune diseases are becoming increasingly noticed to be associated with chronic inflammation and pain. A lot is being discussed nowadays about free radicals which play an extremely important role regarding these problems.

We always start with taking a detailed, thorough medical history including  the nutritional history past and present. This is then analyzed also in terms of Chinese medicine and Homoeopathy. An examination of blood and urine would disclose the state of acidity, diseases of autoaggression,  deficiency states, viral infections or other infections with microorganisms such as fungi. The whole body regulatory  thermography after Rost could unmask hidden foci.  Neural therapy after Huneke can also bring old foci into light, e.g. scars after old injuries, which could be the cause of chronic inflammation and pain.

For therapy we have the whole spectrum of natural treatment methods available. Beginning with the change of nutritional habits, using herbal and homoeopathic remedies, applying acupuncture, Ozone active oxygen and Proain-Base-infusions,  natural treatment methods can often alleviate pains
