5-E™ Tierarztpraxis – Your experts for holistic veterinary medicine
For over 40 years, Tierarzt Thomas Backhaus has stood for innovative veterinary medicine that treats causes rather than just symptoms. Our practice in Thalfang combines state-of-the-art diagnostics with proven therapies from mitochondrial medicine, laser therapy, and holistic healing methods.
Why We Do What We Do
In veterinary medicine today, everything often moves too quickly. Too rarely do we truly listen and observe. We want to change that – with time, focus, and genuine empathy.
Instead of following rigid, catalog-style solutions, we take a holistic view of each animal. Symptoms are often connected to deeper physical or energetic processes. We take the time to understand these connections – especially the interactions between organs, the musculoskeletal system, fascia, nervous system, and immune system.
Our treatments aim to strengthen the body’s natural self-healing abilities. To do this, we use naturopathic methods, innovative therapy approaches, laser therapy, mitochondrial medicine, and individualized health and nutrition concepts. Conventional medical treatments such as diagnostics, surgery, or medication are also used – when they make sense and suit the individual case.
Because for us, one thing is clear: animals deserve a form of medicine that truly understands them.
What We Offer – Experience Meets Innovation
Our practice specializes in integrative veterinary medicine. We combine modern veterinary science with naturopathic methods, manual-osteopathic techniques, and innovative therapeutic concepts that have proven effective over decades of clinical experience.
Our range of services includes, among others:
With over 40 years of veterinary experience within our team and a strong commitment to ongoing professional development, we cover a broad spectrum – from classical veterinary medicine to new approaches that often make all the difference.
How We Work – With Structure, Sensitivity, and System
In our practice, we work with clear procedures, genuine care, and a trained eye for detail. Even before your appointment, we review the completed questionnaire and animal profile to gain an initial overview of your pet’s health – allowing us to prepare in a targeted way.
Still, feel free to bring any relevant documents with you. We listen – attentively, openly, and without time pressure.
Every visit begins with a detailed medical history and an energy scan – an osteopathic method used to detect blockages and functional relationships in the body. This is followed by individual diagnostics, which may include vital blood analysis and darkfield microscopy if desired.
Based on this, we use our 5-E™ algorithm to develop a tailored therapy plan – adapted to your pet’s needs and living environment.
Our facilities are intentionally designed to be calm, friendly, and stress-free, so that both animals and humans feel comfortable. When needed, we work closely with external specialists or use our telemedicine platform DGT MEDICAL to provide comprehensive care even in complex cases.
