According to the current legal situation, only doctors or alternative practitioners with additional training as osteopaths are allowed to carry out osteopathic treatments in Germany. Marc James Daly completed a five-year Masters course in London and has been practicing there since 2006. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Osteopathic treatment is useful if recurring complaints occur that cannot be treated with conventional classical medicine and a serious illness has nevertheless been ruled out. It is important to distinguish whether the health problem is functional or structural. Functional means that muscles, bones, tissue, fascia, nerves and organs are impaired in their function, but appear healthy from the point of view of classical medicine and only the process or function is disturbed. Structural complaints are more difficult for osteopaths to treat because the structure itself is weakened and it generally takes longer for success to be achieved. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

An osteopathic treatment includes the following services: Anamnesis, examination, clarification with suspected diagnosis, consultation and treatment, and usually takes about 45 minutes. Before the treatment begins, the osteopath takes a detailed medical history to get a good overall picture of the patient. The next step is the examination, which assesses the patient’s statics and carries out movement tests and local examinations. The information gathered about the body in conjunction with the medical history results in the findings. The actual treatment is based on the findings and the treatment goals. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A treatment usually takes about 45 minutes. However, please allow a total of one hour, especially for an initial consultation, which may take a little longer. We generally take enough time for you and your concerns. Whether the hour is fully utilized depends on the severity of the symptoms. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

First and foremost, mobilizing, manipulating, activating, calming and balancing techniques are used. The osteopath performs these techniques mainly with his hands. The osteopath uses his hands to examine the parietal system (musculoskeletal system, bones, joints), the visceral system (all internal organs), the craniosacral system (skull, brain, meninges, sacrum) and the fascial system (muscles, ligaments, fasciae, connective tissue, arteries, veins and lymph vessels). Depending on the treatment objective, a combination of different techniques is often used. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Please bring all relevant and current medical reports, x-rays or MRI results – if available. Wear comfortable clothing that can be easily removed. Please make every effort to arrive on time so that you can fill out the treatment contract in the waiting area in advance for your first treatment or bring the completed personal and data protection questionnaires with you.

At the rear of our building, entrance Wilhelm-Weber-Strasse, there is a small parking bay with three parking spaces on the left-hand side (see sign Praxis Thomas Hoffmann\/Marc James Daly opposite house 4).

Take a 10-15 minute walk immediately after a treatment before taking part in road traffic. Give your body plenty of rest and avoid physical exertion and sport for a few days. In addition, drink plenty of fluids such as water or herbal tea so that the stimulated metabolic processes can be effectively supported. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A qualified osteopath is characterized by the fact that he looks at the person as a whole rather than just treating the symptoms. Therefore, the most important tool of an osteopath is the precise assessment of findings. In contrast to classical medicine, an osteopath does not just concentrate on the symptoms, but tries to localize the cause of the complaints and treat them in a targeted manner. Osteopathic therapy then promotes the body’s self-healing powers in order to eliminate the dysfunction. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The cost of treatment per session is between \u20ac100 and \u20ac150, depending on the insurance provider and billing requirements. The fees incurred depend on the treatment measures carried out and are listed at the end in an invoice based on the Heilpraktiker fee regulations (Geb\u00fcH). These should be paid by bank transfer within the specified period of 10 days. Please submit the second copy to your health insurance company. The patient must expect that the expenses will not be fully reimbursed due to different tariffs and contracts. If you are unsure, please contact your health insurance company in advance. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

After you have settled your bill with us, you may be able to claim back some or all of the costs from your health insurance company. However, this depends on which contract you have concluded with a particular health insurance company, as some health insurance companies only contribute to the costs incurred as a percentage or possibly not at all. If you are unsure, please contact your health insurance provider before starting treatment or find out more at www.osteopathie.de and www.osteokompass.de. Please note that the invoice must be settled with the practice after treatment has been carried out, regardless of whether and how much the health insurance company covers. Patients with statutory health insurance will receive an invoice in accordance with the fee schedule for osteopaths (GVO). Privately insured patients or patients with additional private insurance will receive an invoice in accordance with the scale of fees for alternative practitioners (Geb\u00fcH). Invoices are issued individually according to the symptoms and treatment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Many statutory health insurance companies reimburse osteopathic treatments on a pro rata basis. To find out whether your health insurance company specifically subsidizes osteopathy, please contact your health insurance company directly or visit www.osteokompass.de. In order for statutory health insurance companies to reimburse a proportionate amount, a written recommendation from a doctor is required. This can be in the form of a referral or a private prescription from your doctor. Some health insurance companies require proof of osteopathic qualification. If your health insurance company requires proof, we will be happy to provide you with the necessary documents. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The treatment period depends entirely on the nature of the symptoms and how acute or manifest your symptoms are. Ideally, we would like to see an improvement after about five treatments. The chance of initial improvement through further treatments thereafter is rather low. However, every patient and every health disorder must be considered and treated individually. If misalignments and blockages have developed over a long period of time (several months or years), it cannot be assumed that the symptoms can be corrected in the shortest possible time. If your condition does not improve, we will discuss further medical options with you and refer you on if necessary. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

It is quite normal for the body to react after osteopathic treatment and for the condition to feel worse at first. However, you should feel better after a few days.
