Children’s health

Holistic care for your child’s health.
Children are not small adults. They have their own meta­bo­lism, their immune and diges­tive systems are still deve­lo­ping, they are growing and they ther­e­fore have their own health chal­lenges.

SYMPTOMS

Frequent infections

Many children suffer from recur­ring infec­tions, which can be a sign of an imma­ture or over­loaded immune system or a sign of micro­nu­trient defi­ci­en­cies.

Digestive problems

Unspecific abdo­minal pain, bloa­ting, cons­ti­pa­tion or diar­rhea are common complaints that can indi­cate food into­le­rances or other diges­tive disor­ders.

Attention deficit/​hyperactivity disorder ADHD

Symptoms such as concen­tra­tion diffi­cul­ties, hyperac­ti­vity and impul­si­vity can impair children’s lear­ning and social skills.

Approach

Observations

Unfortunately, we see time and again that many symptoms in children are not taken seriously if they are not too serious. Parents have the feeling that ‚some­thing is wrong‘, but pedia­tri­cians often don’t have the time to get to the bottom of it or lack the exper­tise. In our expe­ri­ence, these feelings are usually justi­fied. Symptoms such as mild exhaus­tion, diges­tive problems or beha­vi­oral problems are often early indi­ca­tors of nutri­tional defi­ci­en­cies, inap­pro­priate nutri­tion or more complex health disor­ders.

Our team takes the time to take these signs seriously and get to the bottom of them. We under­stand that early inter­ven­tion and a holi­stic approach are crucial, espe­ci­ally in children, to avoid long-​term health problems and lay the foun­da­tions for a healthy adult life.

Forms of therapy

Through our compre­hen­sive approach and the inclu­sion of various diagno­stic methods (blood values, neuro­trans­mit­ters, gene­tics, micro­biome and stool exami­na­tion), we are able to deci­pher even subtle symptoms and develop appro­priate treat­ment stra­te­gies. This enables us to offer children and their fami­lies targeted and effec­tive support that is tail­ored to the specific needs and health chal­lenges of each indi­vi­dual child.

Our thera­peutic approa­ches include a wide range of methods depen­ding on the diagnosis. These include

  • Individual nutri­tional advice
  • Micronutrient therapy
  • Naturopathic treat­ments
  • Support with life­style (exer­cise, school, sleep)

Each treat­ment is desi­gned in close consul­ta­tion with the fami­lies to ensure that it is prac­tical and prio­ri­tizes the child’s well-​being. Our aim is not only to treat the symptoms, but also to promote the long-​term health and deve­lo­p­ment of the children.

„For children in parti­cular, early inter­ven­tion and a holi­stic approach are crucial to avoid long-​term health problems and lay the foun­da­tions for a healthy adult 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.
