CLINICAL PSYCHO-NEURO-IMMUNOLOGY (cPNI) IN MUNICH

Endocrine system, immune system, nervous system, musculoskeletal system and psyche – in the search for the causes of a disease, we look at the various systems of the body and their complex interaction holistically in a cPNI therapy and look for dependencies and interactions.

When analyzing the clinical pictures, we not only look at the symptoms, but also always get to the bottom of the causes for their development. From diet to exercise behaviour to social environment, we examine lifestyle habits and living environment in order to find harmful factors.

cPNI is an interdisciplinary therapy model and, depending on the requirements of the patient, combines a variety of different forms of therapy from conventional medicine and functional medicine. The specialties used in cPNI therapy are versatile and include neurology, internal medicine, immunology, psychology and endocrinology.

In a variety of diseases – especially chronic inflammation – no clear cause can be identified as a trigger. By involving a wide range of disciplines and investigating the way of life, cPNI is particularly successful in identifying combinations of causes for disease development – and eliminating them through appropriate therapies and recommendations for action.

By also identifying harmful influences such as stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, poor sleep or environmental pollution as causes of a disease, we enable patients to understand the development of their complaints and to change their lifestyle in such a way that their body can activate its self-healing powers and regulate itself better again.

In addition to the treatment of chronic inflammation and complaints, it is also ideally suited as a passing or accompanying therapy. For example, for people who want to improve their general physical condition and be more conscious of their health or athletes who want to improve their performance, prevent injuries or accelerate healing after an injury.

Whether prophylactic or therapeutic – at the beginning of every cPNI therapy there is a particularly detailed anamnesis interview to analyze the causes of your symptoms, their relationships and possible interactions. Physical aspects (hormonal system, immune system, nutritional behavior, etc.) are included as well as psychological, social and emotional aspects. All relevant factors such as food, exercise, biorhythm, behavioral patterns, environmental factors, and cornerstones of your biography are examined in detail.

Due to the information collected in the anamnesis interview, it usually makes sense to collect additional laboratory values. As part of a comprehensive laboratory diagnosis, we examine specific parameters (e.g. from saliva, blood, stool and urine) resulting from the individual results of the anamnesis interview. For example, a cortisol profile can be used to measure the effects of stress exposure and a fatty acid profile can provide important insights into why there is a high sensitivity to inflammation.

Based on the individual results of the anamnesis interview and laboratory diagnostics, we develop a tailor-made therapy plan for you, which is tailored to you and your requirements. Depending on the diagnosis, we combine the appropriate medical specialties and supplement conventional medical treatment with recommendations for action regarding your living conditions and lifestyle (e.g. nutrition, exercise, stress management, micronutrient supplements). Our therapists always work out the therapy plan individually with you – because only if you understand the cause and causal relationships can you influence your symptoms in a targeted manner.

Our interdisciplinary practice team from the fields of nutrition, physiotherapy, osteopathy and sports therapy is of course also continuously advising and accompanying you during the implementation of the therapy. We regularly analyze the progress of the treatment and, if necessary, adapt the therapy interventions to the current circumstances.
