Acupuncture in Our Practice
– Strengthening Your Well-Being

Acupuncture is a well-established holistic treatment method originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It has been practiced for thousands of years to activate the body’s natural self-healing abilities. In our practice in Berlin-Charlottenburg, we regard acupuncture as an important component in relieving symptoms, promoting inner balance, and supporting your individual health goals.

Together with you, we discuss your concerns, objectives and your medical history. Based on this information, we carefully select the appropriate acupuncture points and tailor each treatment individually to your needs.

In my practice in Berlin-Charlottenburg I run the acupuncture according to the guidelines of Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan, O. M. D., L. ac. San Diego, California.https://www.drtanshow.com/

What Does a Treatment Session Involve?

Each session begins with a personal consultation. We clarify your current condition, your expectations, and any possible contraindications. The finest acupuncture needles are then applied to individually selected points. Many patients experience the treatment as pleasant and well-tolerated.

Depending on your symptoms and goals, several sessions may be recommended. Together, we determine the appropriate frequency and duration. Our aim is to integrate acupuncture as part of a comprehensive health concept – not as an isolated, stand-alone measure.

Why Choose Acupuncture With Us?

We combine traditional healing methods with a modern, scientifically informed perspective. In our practice, we place particular emphasis on:

  • personal and clearly explained care
  • transparent communication about treatment mechanisms
  • individual adaptation to your life situation
  • gentle and precise treatment in accordance with recognized standards

Your health and your trust are always at the center of our work.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

According to TCM theory, vital energy – known as Qi – flows through the body along specific pathways called meridians. Acupuncture uses very fine needles placed at selected points to regulate this flow of energy, release blockages and restore balance within the body.

In our practice, we follow the recognized principles of Prof. Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan. This allows us to combine traditional knowledge with a modern, patient-centered approach.

When Can Acupuncture Be Helpful?

Acupuncture is not limited to pain relief; it can also be used as supportive therapy in various areas:

Pain Relief

For discomfort in the back, joints, head or neck, acupuncture may help reduce pain and support the body’s natural self-regulation.

Weight Regulation

When combined with dietary changes, acupuncture can have a supportive effect and help promote a healthier body awareness.

Exam and Performance-Related Stress

During phases of increased mental strain, acupuncture may help calm the nervous system and support concentration and inner stability.

Smoking Cessation

Through ear acupuncture and complementary methods, we offer additional support for those wishing to reduce or stop nicotine use.

Together, we discuss your goals in detail and determine how acupuncture can be used meaningfully in your individual situation – realistically, transparently, and in a way that fits into everyday life.
