At the nuclear practice clinic for preventive medicine in Bornheim near Cologne, Bonn and Düsseldorf Acupuncture has been one of the most successfully used therapies for more than 20 years.
Acupuncture is one of the oldest treatment methods ever.
By inserting needles at defined points, either just on the ear or on the whole body, symptoms can be alleviated and Diseases be treated.
The acupuncture points are located on certain lines, so-called meridians, which cover the entire body.
