01 — SERVICES

Five services.
Your needs at the centre.

From conversation and assessment to individual treatment. Before choosing a service, we discuss your expectations, the possibilities of the approach and its limitations.

INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT

Acupuncture

Individually tailored treatment using fine, sterile single-use needles, preceded by a discussion of your symptoms, health and goals.

Medical acupuncture is used in an individually tailored approach to a range of health concerns, either on its own or in combination with other treatments. The Croatian Society for Acupuncture describes areas of use including painful musculoskeletal conditions, headaches and migraine, nausea and vomiting, and selected digestive, respiratory and gynaecological complaints, including allergic rhinitis and painful menstruation. At EKVINOCIJ, suitability and treatment goals are determined according to your symptoms, medical records and health. The selection of points, frequency and number of appointments are adapted individually, with a review of your response and the effect on everyday function and quality of life.

COMPLEMENTARY SERVICE

Metatron Hospital - IPP/NLS analysis

Metatron Hospital - IPP/NLS analysis at EKVINOCIJ uses software developed by the Institute of Practical Psychophysics (IPP) for the Metatron system, within an individual complementary approach.

According to IPP’s technical description, the programme uses NLS (nonlinear) analysis and a database of reference patterns, and includes three-dimensional computer models of organs and anatomical systems. Wide Vision and Multi Vision allow individual structures to be enlarged and isolated, and layers of the models to be viewed, including bones, soft tissues, blood vessels and nerves.

An appointment at EKVINOCIJ includes a discussion of your symptoms, lifestyle and existing medical records, use of the system and a clear explanation of its displays. Particular attention is given to your questions and to connecting the conversation with practical recommendations for everyday habits and quality of life.

HEART RATE VARIABILITY

HRV measurement

HRV (heart rate variability) describes the natural differences in the time intervals between consecutive heartbeats. Measurement is non-invasive and includes an individual explanation of the results. It provides additional insight into the autonomic nervous system’s regulation of heart activity and may help explain personal patterns associated with daily demands and recovery. In practice, we consider the result alongside your sleep, experience of stress and everyday habits to agree on practical, achievable steps towards better rest and looking after your health.

HRV is related to the autonomic nervous system, which helps regulate heart rhythm, breathing and other involuntary bodily functions. It may provide additional information about patterns associated with workload and recovery. Values are influenced by age, fitness, sleep, breathing, medication and everyday habits. At EKVINOCIJ, we connect the results with a discussion of your lifestyle, daily demands and quality of rest, and agree on practical steps suited to your needs.

THE FOUNDATION OF EKVINOCIJ

An integrative
approach.

I founded EKVINOCIJ to offer people professional, individual care with enough time for conversation, an understanding of their needs and thoughtful decisions about the next steps.

Integrative medicine considers the whole person. Alongside symptoms and medical findings, it takes account of lifestyle, nutrition, sleep, physical activity, emotional strain and everyday circumstances. It brings conventional medical care together with appropriate complementary approaches, with attention to scientific evidence, safety and individual needs.

A relationship of trust and active patient involvement

My work is built on a relationship in which each person feels heard, respected and free to ask questions. I want to understand how symptoms affect their daily life, what they have already tried and what they hope to achieve.

Every appointment therefore begins with a conversation. We consider existing medical records, treatment, lifestyle and personal priorities. Together, we agree on an approach, with a clear explanation of its purpose, possibilities and limitations. Patients take an active part in decisions, and recommendations are adapted to their circumstances and what is feasible for them.

Medical knowledge and responsible selection of methods

At EKVINOCIJ, I bring together my medical education, extensive international professional experience and additional training in acupuncture and complementary methods. Each method should be considered individually, according to its purpose, available evidence and safety for the person concerned.

Complementary services are provided with respect for existing medical care. The need for further diagnostic investigations, specialist assessment or prescribed treatment remains an important part of a responsible approach to health.

Supporting health and quality of life

My aim is to help people better understand the factors related to their health and identify practical steps that can support their wellbeing. Alongside support with symptoms, I focus on prevention, everyday habits and maintaining quality of life over time.

EKVINOCIJ grew out of this conviction: medical knowledge, attentive conversation and individual care should be connected in our work with every person.

A physician with international experience in medical affairs and clinical development, and additional training in acupuncture and complementary methods.
