Preventative Care for Children and Adults

With a view of general medicine as family-oriented medicine, we offer preventive care for the whole family in accordance with anthroposophic principles. Using various diagnostic procedures from conventional medicine as well as naturopathy, homeopathy and “speaking therapies”, we strive to identify and treat unhealthy tendencies and diseases at an early stage. Our aim is for you to stay in the best of health throughout your life.

Preventive care for children and adolescents

(You will be privately invoiced for all treatments; if your health insurance contract foresees the reimbursement of these private medical treatments, simply submit our invoice to your health insurance company.)

  • U 1 bis U11 – General preventative care from birth to 10 years of age
  • J1 und J2 – Special preventative care from 12-14 years and 16-17 years
By preventive care we not only mean the early recognition of developmental disorders or diseases as well as timely information about potential dangers; for us, prevention also means talking about how your child can stay healthy over the long term, develop into a whole person at ease in today’s world. An essential part of modern healthcare is to undertake a detailed analysis of your child’s consumption of modern media and to provide relevant advice. This is why we schedule sufficient time for you and your child in stages J1 and J2.
We are happy to support you with our medical advice on the following topics:

  • Breastfeeding
  • Nutrition
  • Vaccinations (please apply separately for detailed vaccination advice on all vaccinations proposed by the Standing Commission on Vaccination (STIKO))
  • How to deal with (new) media
  • Education
  • Developmental diagnostics
  • Psychological stress associated with problems at school, bedwetting, crises during puberty and eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia

In all these matters, we draw on findings from anthroposophic paediatrics and Waldorf educational philosophy.

Preventative care for adults

An annual check-up for adults can ensure that certain diseases are detected at an early stage. This encompasses cancer screening and a physical examination for precancerous skin changes.

Our programme of preventative care includes:
  • A thorough physical examination, incl. the measurement of blood pressure
  • Laboratory testing (blood count, liver function, kidney function, homocysteine, ferritin, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, fasting blood sugar, vitamin D levels)
  • ECG
  • HRV (heart rate variability) to determine the functioning of the autonomic nervous system
In addition, we offer:
  • Analysis of your immune status
  • Testing for an over- or underactive thyroid gland
  • Whole blood analysis for vitamins, trace minerals and other essential substances (special laboratory test)
  • HIV testing
  • Immunological testing for chronic inflammation (Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, Epstein-Barr virus, general tiredness)
  • Advice on vaccination
  • Pulmonary function test
  • Colour vision and hearing test (audiometry), also within the framework of occupational medicine
