Osteopathy
Find an osteopath near you
Osteopathy is a valuable addition to traditional medicine, which relies on the healing power of the hands and manual diagnosis and therapy. It restores the balance of the body's systems without medicine or technical devices and offers holistic solutions for various complaints such as back pain and digestive disorders.
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy is increasingly becoming established in the medical world as a recognised complement to conventional medicine. Through the power of the hands alone, blockages in the body are broken down and the balance between the various systems in the body is restored. ‘Manipulative’ diagnostics and therapy pay a key role here. This holistic treatment method thus forgoes pharmaceuticals and technical examination equipment. Back pain, digestive problems and jaw pain are just a few of the many possible indications for osteopathic treatment.
Osteopathy for children
Your child’s health and well-being is very important to us. That’s why as SBK customers, you and your entire family can be partially reimbursed for osteopathy as a complement to conventional medical treatments. Children generally respond very quickly and positively to osteopathic treatment. Even as infants, children suffering from growth problems, developmental delays or digestive issues can receive osteopathic treatment as a complement to conventional medical care.

If you do not have such basic training, we require an informal medical certificate or a private prescription from you stating that osteopathic treatment is necessary for reimbursement. This is the case for physiotherapists, for example. In this case, make an appointment with your doctor's practice before the treatment.
Some practices charge a fee for issuing a private prescription. Unfortunately, we cannot reimburse this fee.
Invoice reimbursement
After receiving osteopathic treatment, your osteopath will send you a private invoice. You first pay the invoice yourself and then submit this invoice – along with the doctor’s certificate, if necessary – to SBK for reimbursement. In order for your request to be processed quickly, please upload the documents in Meine SBK. Alternatively you can find our postal address and a postage paid envelope
Frequently asked questions about osteopathy
You will always need a doctor's prescription if your qualified osteopathic therapist does not have a basic medical or alternative medical profession, for example physiotherapists. If this is the case, please make an appointment with your doctor's practice before the treatment. They can issue you with a private prescription or an informal medical certificate stating that osteopathic treatment is necessary.
