How I work
Personally, from the first assessment to follow-up
Reading according to Traditional Chinese Medicine and selection of the points and the most suitable technique: I carry out the assessment and place the needles myself, at the practice.
The ultrasound is non-invasive and does not hurt; any injection is decided together, never in the same session without discussing it.
We accept reports and second-opinion requests from your doctor via HIN.
I also practise in Zürich Oerlikon, at Arztpraxis Sternen.
