First Appointment

When you visit me for the first time, we take the time for a comprehensive and structured assessment – especially if you are suffering from pain or other symptoms in the context of hormonal changes.
(For tinnitus: the earlier you come, the better.)

Pain can have many faces and causes:

• after an accident, an operation, or a tumor disease
• triggered by other events
• or gradually worsening without a clear reason

The fact is:
If pain or related symptoms persist for more than six weeks, they begin to interfere with everyday life. Many of my patients describe:

• difficulties managing daily tasks and free time without stress
• withdrawing from family, friends, hobbies, or sports
• feeling insecure after hearing statements such as:
  “Everything healed properly.”
  “Minimal findings cannot explain your pain.”
  “This is psychosomatic.”

Despite such reassurances, the suffering remains real.

Perhaps you have already tried strong medication, injections, surgeries, or seen many different therapists – without lasting relief.

As a board-certified specialist with additional qualification in pain medicine, I bring the threads of your medical history together again. For a competent and interdisciplinary medical consultation, please bring all relevant documents – both recent and older ones – for review, for example:

• gynecological findings, hormonal status, ferritin, vitamin D
• neurological and orthopedic results
• rheumatological assessments
• radiological reports (MRI, X-ray, etc.)
• internistic and psychosomatic/psychiatric reports
• laboratory values (inflammatory markers, thyroid function, and, if indicated by your GP, screening for rheumatologic markers such as ACCP, RF)

To prepare thoroughly, I kindly ask you to fill in the German Pain Questionnaire (“Deutscher Schmerzfragebogen”), available on this website.

For careful evaluation of your documents I plan around 30 minutes in advance.
Your first appointment itself will take about 1.5 hours.

How does the therapy continue?

To truly understand your situation, I take time not only to look at your symptoms, but also at your personal strategies, individual resources, and self-healing potential. For this, we usually need about 3–5 follow-up appointments.

During this process, we work together on tailored therapeutic strategies, deepen your new understanding, and – if helpful – combine different therapeutic approaches from various fields.

You will experience a wide range of new perspectives and methods related to your pain, stress, and symptoms – for example:

• how your body uses protective mechanisms
• how muscles and the nervous system interact
• how neuroplasticity and deep learning shape the experience of pain

Because the body is capable not only of learning pain – but also of unlearning it.

I will accompany you on this very personal journey.
You will learn from me – and I will learn from you.

I look forward to meeting you!
