diagnosis

The Assessment occurs exclusively through Touch (palpatory) on anatomical structures or from the Osteopathy body functions or structures described. However, this assessment is by no means linked to the medical differential diagnosis equates and does not replace them.

therapy

The rational osteopathic treatment is based on the knowledge and application of the above four principles of Dr. Quiet.
Before each treatment, there is a detailed discussion with the osteopath, in which he collects a comprehensive medical history. This is followed by the assessment and finding of the malfunctions. For this purpose, the osteopath palpates the tissue in layers and locates movement restrictions and tension. Now the blockage is released with the most varied of techniques. Gentle, steady hand movements stretch and move body structures. The life energy should flow again and the balance of the body (Homeostasis) will be restored. All of this - diagnosis and therapy - is done only with the hands. Devices and aids are not used.

I would be happy to advise you!

Who am I?
My name is dr. Nicolas Gumpert. I am a specialist in orthopedics and the founder of .
Various television programs and print media report regularly about my work. On HR television you can see me every 6 weeks live on "Hallo Hessen".
But now enough is indicated ;-)

In order to be able to treat successfully in orthopedics, a thorough examination, diagnosis and a medical history are required.
In our very economic world in particular, there is too little time to thoroughly grasp the complex diseases of orthopedics and thus initiate targeted treatment.
I don't want to join the ranks of "quick knife pullers".
The aim of any treatment is treatment without surgery.

Which therapy achieves the best results in the long term can only be determined after looking at all of the information (Examination, X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, etc.) be assessed.

A. Still did not believe that the osteopathic treatments were any reason for his patients to recover. Basically the body heals itself. The therapy only activates and stimulates the self-healing powers. In addition, an existing symptom is not always the source of the complaint. Kidney infection can limit the mobility of the lumbar spine, which the cervical spine tries to balance. If left untreated, this in turn can lead to disc problems (herniated disc) in this area in the long run. The trained osteopath treats the lumbar spine here so that the cervical spine can recover.
A treatment lasts 45-75 minutes on average. Acute problems show clear improvements after one or two sessions, chronic ailments require more time. Initially, the treatment is carried out on a weekly basis, later every 2-3 weeks. Osteopathy can be used on its own or as an adjunct therapy. The costs are not covered by the statutory health insurance. A session costs around 80 euros on average.

Despite this wide list of indications, osteopathy also has its limits. According to the osteopathic view, it cannot help where there are not enough self-healing powers, such as with Broken bones, Infections, cancer or Tumors. In addition, it is not an emergency medicine, such as for treating one Heart attack. Body structure that has already been damaged should not be further damaged by further excessive manipulation. Therefore, a differential diagnosis and a detailed examination are all the more important.
