Autoimmune diseases

Individual approa­ches to alle­via­ting and trea­ting auto­im­mune dise­ases.
Autoimmune dise­ases have a wide range of symptoms and complex causes. Our team iden­ti­fies indi­vi­dual trig­gers and treats them holi­sti­cally. Each disease requires a perso­na­lized approach in order to effec­tively improve quality of life.

SYMPTOMS

Tiredness and exhaustion

One of the most common symptoms of auto­im­mune dise­ases, espe­ci­ally Hashimoto’s thyro­iditis, is persis­tent tired­ness and fatigue, which can severely affect ever­yday life.

Neurological symptoms

Symptoms such as numb­ness, muscular weak­ness or coor­di­na­tion problems are charac­te­ristic of neuro­lo­gical auto­im­mune dise­ases such as multiple scle­rosis.

Joint pain

Severe joint pain, swel­ling and stiff­ness, for example, are typical signs of rheu­ma­toid arthritis, which can signi­fi­cantly rest­rict mobi­lity and quality of life.

Approach

Observations

Autoimmune dise­ases are trig­gered by a wide variety of factors. Inappropriate nutri­tion, poor gut health, stress, chronic infec­tions, micro­nu­trient defi­ci­en­cies or trauma are just a few of them, and it is usually a colorful mixture of these factors.

Forms of therapy

Our func­tional medi­cine approach includes a thorough exami­na­tion of indi­vi­dual health history, life­style factors and envi­ron­mental influences, as well as exten­sive labo­ra­tory analysis to iden­tify and address the specific trig­gers and factors that contri­bute to auto­im­mune disease. On this basis, we develop specia­lized nutri­tional plans, provide recom­men­da­tions on micro­nu­tri­ents, targeted exer­cise therapy and take care of your auto­nomic nervous system. We work closely with our pati­ents to develop a custo­mized treat­ment plan tail­ored to their specific needs.
„Autoimmune dise­ases require a sensi­tive and indi­vi­dua­lized treat­ment approach. In our prac­tice, we rely on holi­stic methods to not only alle­viate symptoms, but also to sustain­ably improve our pati­ents“ quality of life.”

GOOD TO KNOW

We look forward to welco­ming you to our clinic. We take enough time to under­stand your medical history. Based on your previous findings, the completed medical history form and our diagno­stics, we will create a custo­mized treat­ment plan for you. Please note that you should come with an empty stomach (water is permitted) to enable us to make an accu­rate diagnosis.

We attach great importance to cost trans­pa­rency and will inform you of the costs incurred before treat­ment begins. Please note that private health insu­rance poli­cies are very unli­kely to cover all services. In such cases, you will have to bear the costs yourself. We will be happy to answer any ques­tions you may have about insu­rance cover, co-​payments or payment options.

To make your appoint­ment with us as conve­nient as possible, we offer you the option of simply arran­ging your consul­ta­tion online. You can choose between appoint­ments of 30 or 60 minutes, depen­ding on your needs. Alternatively, you can also leave us a message by phone and we will get back to you imme­dia­tely to arrange your appoint­ment.

To ensure effec­tive commu­ni­ca­tion, we ask you to select an appoint­ment option online. Be it for a face-​to-​face appoint­ment in the prac­tice, a video consul­ta­tion or a tele­phone consul­ta­tion. Alternatively, you can also leave us a tele­phone message.

Please under­stand that e‑mail inqui­ries cannot be answered due to time cons­traints.

Please note that repeat prescrip­tion orders will be processed with suffi­cient lead time (14 days). For prescrip­tion requests, please send an e‑mail to: rezepte@zentrum-funktionelle-medizin.de

We are aware of our respon­si­bi­lity and devote the utmost atten­tion to your concerns. The path of func­tional medi­cine requires pati­ence and it takes expe­ri­ence to develop solu­tions that enable health in depth. In doing so, we conduct rese­arch and talk to other specia­lists and thera­pists until we have found a solu­tion.
