Integrative chiropractic and osteopathy practice in Cologne Old Town North
At my practice in Cologne (Domstraße 39, a five-minute walk from Cologne Cathedral), I treat adults (including expectant mothers), adolescents, children, and infants suffering from back pain, headaches, migraines, dizziness, joint stiffness and pain in the limbs, and unexplained abdominal or chest pain, using a unique, integrative treatment approach.
My desire to treat patient complaints more effectively and achieve lasting results led me to study various therapeutic approaches. Over more than 20 years of clinical practice, this evolved into a combination of chiropractic and osteopathy, complemented by techniques from biokinematics, myofascial therapy, fascia therapy, and neural stimulation.

Demand vs. Capacity
Whether you are experiencing sudden, severe pain or have been living with discomfort for months or years, the problem is usually not a single instance of "damage," but rather a structural change. It is an evolutionary mechanism that triggers pain to protect and maintain vital bodily functions.
Every treatment therefore begins with a systematic analysis to determine what is overwhelming your body—and why it is responding with pain. The "Demand vs. Capacity" approach identifies the stressors at play (duration, frequency, repetitive nature) and pinpoints where recovery processes (reset, nourishment, regulation) are compromised. This allows for targeted treatment of both recent and long-standing complaints.
Chronic complaints in children and adolescents
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for children and adolescents to suffer for years from complaints such as headaches without a cause being found.
Sometimes limb pain that persists for months in adolescents is labeled “growing pains” for lack of a better explanation.
In these cases, the real cause is usually found off the beaten path. It matters a great deal to me that children and adolescents in particular can lead a happy life free of complaints.
Restoring joy of life
Chiropraktik, Osteopathie, Biokinematik
The deeper causes of conditions such as headaches, migraine, cervical spine syndrome, shoulder impingement, disc herniation, back pain, and other complaints — within a holistic concept that unites osteopathy and chiropractic with suitable techniques from other therapeutic approaches.
It is manual therapy based on chiropractic and osteopathy, combined with biokinematics, myofascial therapy, fascial therapy, and neural stimulation into a new treatment concept.
Most often: back pain, headaches, migraine and dizziness, stiffness and pain in the joints of the arms and legs, and unexplained pain in the abdominal and chest areas.
Freely mobile. Happy.
The goal is, after a thorough history, to free you as far as possible from your complaints already during the first appointment, or at least to ease the symptoms to a more tolerable level.
Even if you no longer feel any complaints after the first treatment, three to six appointments are usually advisable — for a course that is as lasting as possible. Exercise guidance for support and prevention is also part of the concept.
