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. An inappropriate diet, 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."
