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 drugs or technical devices and offers holistic solutions for various complaints such as back pain and digestive disorders.

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.

With our osteopath search you can quickly find a qualified osteopath in your area. Cost sharing is possible with them. Have you already found an osteopath who is not included in our search? Please clarify with your personal consultant whether we can contribute to the costs.

You will be reimbursed €30 per session (for up to six treatments per calendar year) with an osteopath recognized by us.

How to get osteopathic treatment

If your osteopath is a doctor or alternative practitioner, you can visit them directly without needing a certificate. If your osteopathic therapist is not a doctor or alternative practitioner, we will need a doctor’s certificate (no prescribed form needed) or private prescription indicating that osteopathic treatment is necessary, in order for us to reimburse some of your costs. Some doctors charge a fee for issuing a private prescription. Unfortunately we cannot reimburse you the costs of this. 

We will then check the osteopath’s qualifications as a first step. The therapist must verify with us that they have a certain qualification and are a member of a professional osteopathic association recognised by us or are at least eligible for such membership. If they meet these quality standards, your reimbursement will be transferred to your bank account in a few days.

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 here​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.
