Koufopoulos Leonardos Dr.

The practice of acupuncture by a professional physician ensures the scientific approach to patient pathology, the comprehensive assessment of all risk factors, and the responsible execution of medical procedures. Psychiatry, moreover, recognizes the presence of psychological and social factors in disease (biopsychosocial model), parallel to the holistic approach of acupuncture, where understanding patients, their emotional state, and their perspectives coexist within the experience of illness. Koufopoulos Leonardos, through scientific knowledge and empathy, as a psychiatrist, can harmoniously integrate acupuncture as a complementary therapy. He possesses many years of experience in chronic neuropathic pain (headache, migraine, lumbosacral radiculopathy, cervical pain), anxiety and panic attack management, difficulty concentrating, depression and associated manifestations (anorexia or overeating), sleep disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, nausea and atypical pain, psychosomatic dermatological conditions (psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, alopecia), asthma and allergies, metabolic syndromes and weight control, menstrual disorders and infertility, rheumatic and autoimmune diseases, smoking cessation, and other substance dependencies.
