Holistic care with TCM<\/p><\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Conventional medicine and TCM:
\nTwo approaches, one goal: your health<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In my work, I combine Western conventional medicine with the methods and conceptual frameworks of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I am convinced that this combination offers patients a particularly comprehensive and in-depth approach to their health. While conventional medicine is primarily based on measurable findings and clearly defined disease entities, TCM views the person as a whole \u2014 embedded in their environment, lifestyle, and emotional experience. This perspective meaningfully complements my work in internal medicine and haematology.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i>

How I integrate TCM into my practice<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In every patient consultation, I consider both perspectives simultaneously. Often, already during the initial consultation, I decide whether a conventional medical approach, a TCM-oriented approach, or a combination of both makes the most sense. This decision is never made according to a fixed scheme, but individually and based on extensive experience.<\/p>\n

As part of a holistic treatment plan, I may use or recommend the following TCM methods:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Acupuncture<\/strong> to stabilise the flow of energy (Qi), promote relaxation, reduce pain, or address inner restlessness<\/li>\n
  • Chinese herbal therapy<\/strong>, individually tailored to your constitution<\/li>\n
  • TCM-based nutritional counselling <\/strong>, to specifically strengthen your organ systems<\/li>\n
  • Tongue and pulse diagnosis <\/strong> as complementary diagnostic methods<\/li>\n
  • Tuina massage or Qi Gong<\/strong> \u2013 depending on symptoms and individual possibilities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    When is TCM particularly helpful?<\/p><\/h2><\/div>

    TCM is especially well suited for the treatment of functional complaints \u2014 that is, symptoms for which conventional medicine cannot identify a clear cause. These include, among others:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • chronic fatigue<\/li>\n
    • sleep disorders<\/li>\n
    • digestive complaints<\/li>\n
    • menstrual or menopausal symptoms<\/li>\n
    • inner restlessness, nervousness<\/li>\n
    • respiratory conditions<\/li>\n
    • pain syndromes, for example affecting the musculoskeletal system<\/li>\n
    • and many more \u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      (In principle, you are welcome to ask me about any symptom to discuss whether TCM might also be a useful option.)<\/span><\/p>\n

      I also use TCM regularly as supportive care during cancer treatment or to stabilise the body after infections.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

      <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

      What is special about my approach?<\/h2><\/div>

      I have both many years of university-based training in Internal Medicine, Haematology, and Oncology, as well as a completed Master\u2019s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This combination is rare in Austria \u2014 and allows me to assess very precisely which form of medicine is appropriate<\/strong>, when, and in what way.<\/p>\n

      I do not replace necessary conventional medical therapies \u2014 but I complement them where it benefits the person, alleviates symptoms, or supports healing processes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Was ist das Besondere an meinem Ansatz?<\/h2><\/div>

      Ich verf\u00fcge sowohl \u00fcber eine langj\u00e4hrige universit\u00e4re Ausbildung in Innerer Medizin, H\u00e4matologie und Onkologie als auch \u00fcber ein abgeschlossenes TCM-Masterstudium. Dieses Zusammenspiel ist in \u00d6sterreich selten \u2013 und erlaubt mir, sehr genau einzusch\u00e4tzen, welche Form der Medizin wann und wie sinnvoll ist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Ich ersetze keine notwendigen schulmedizinischen Therapien \u2013 aber ich erg\u00e4nze sie dort, wo es dem Menschen guttut, Symptome lindert oder Heilungsprozesse f\u00f6rdert.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3837","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nTCM & Western Medicine | Personalized Health Plans Vienna<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A rare Austrian clinician combining Western medicine and TCM for a truly integrated medical approach.
