Acupuncture – ancient wisdom for your well-being

Acupuncture is a centuries-old healing method rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). With fine needles at specific points, the natural flow of energy in the body can be stimulated, blockages released, and balance restored. The aim is to harmonize body and mind, helping you feel more relaxed, mobile, and in tune with yourself.

Holistic diagnosis – an integrated approach

In TCM, not only symptoms are considered but the person as a whole. Physical and emotional imbalances are often interconnected. With a detailed assessment, I develop an individual treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Why a holistic approach mattersreatment – as unique as you are

Acupuncture can support both acute and chronic conditions. By combining different methods, a treatment concept is created that suits your personal situation and helps relieve pain, reduce stress, and restore balance.

Individual treatment – as unique as you are

Every acupuncture treatment is tailored to you. During our first consultation, we discuss your symptoms and determine the right focus for your therapy. This way, a treatment plan is developed that fits your needs and everyday life.

Best Heilpraktikerin I know. She regularly and successfully helps me relieve my back and shoulder pain with massage and acupuncture. She always seems to know exactly where the pain points are. Also ongoing migraine treatment, with which I am very satisfied. Highly recommended!

Dry Needling – specific help for tension and pain

In addition to classical acupuncture, I also offer Dry Needling. This method targets so-called trigger points in the muscles that are often responsible for stubborn tension and pain.

Dry Needling can feel briefly uncomfortable, but it is highly effective – especially for neck and shoulder tension, tightness in the legs, or lower back pain. Many people experience noticeable relief and improved mobility after the treatment.

Does Dry Needling hurt?

Dry Needling may feel slightly uncomfortable because the needle is placed directly into tense muscle areas. Some people describe a short pulling sensation or muscle twitch. Afterwards, a muscle soreness similar to a workout may occur, but it usually fades quickly. The treatment is considered very safe and is always adjusted to your personal pain tolerance.

Does the pain disappear immediately?

Many people feel noticeable relief in terms of pain reduction and improved mobility after the first session.



Acupuncture for all age groups

Whether young or old – acupuncture can help improve quality of life. It is particularly effective for stress, sleep disorders, and chronic pain.

I had never tried acupuncture before. I decided to do it because I had severe lower back pain and was almost immobile – and the experience and results were truly impressive! Nelly did a great job, was very kind, and also helped me understand where the pain came from and which external factors were influencing it. The session included massage and acupuncture, it was my first time with this technique and I was surprised. I highly recommend this cozy place with a good atmosphere – but above all, Nelly’s professionalism and excellent work. Thank you, I feel much better now 🙂

Questions?

Do you have questions about acupuncture or my treatment approach? I offer a free telephone consultation and look forward to speaking with you.

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture is an ancient method from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Fine needles are inserted at specific points to harmonize the body’s energy flow (Qi) and release blockages. The aim is to restore balance between body, mind, and soul.

What happens during a treatment session?

We begin with a detailed consultation, where I take the time to get to know you holistically. Based on this information, I create an individualized acupuncture treatment plan for you. If needed, additional therapy methods may be integrated – depending on what you require.

How long does a session last and how often should I come?

An initial session usually lasts about 50–65 minutes. Follow-up treatments may take around 30 minutes. Many people notice improvements after just a few sessions. For chronic conditions, several treatments may be beneficial.

Are there any side effects?

Acupuncture is generally very well tolerated and safe. In rare cases, small bruises, mild fatigue, or slight dizziness may occur.

Do you also offer telephone consultations?

Yes, I offer free telephone consultations. This allows us to clarify together whether acupuncture is the right option for you.
