Spinal Care

What Spinal Care does

Spinal Care is a German private healthcare practice operating as a sole proprietorship under founder and licensed Heilpraktikerin Manuela Neuburger. Founded in 2015 in Eggingen and expanded with a second location in Waldshut-Tiengen in 2024, the practice delivers physiotherapy, osteopathy, manual therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, Bobath neurological rehabilitation, Dorn-Breuss therapy, CMD (jaw) treatment, Kinesio Taping, ultrasound, cupping, acupuncture, and wellness massage, plus a niche emergency-training course for parents of infants and toddlers. Approximately 10 team members across the two sites comprise therapists, an osteopath, and an administrator.

The business operates on a fee-for-service, pay-as-you-go model priced per half-hour session in the range of €25–€70, plus a €1.50 hygiene fee and a €5 weekend surcharge, billed under the Heilpraktikergebührenverordnung (GebüH 85). Because the practice holds no statutory health insurance (GKV) accreditation, all physiotherapy is private-pay, though certain statutory insurers may subsidize osteopathic services and BG (occupational injury) cases are typically reimbursable. There is no proprietary technology platform; the website serves as the primary digital touchpoint for information and appointment requests, and the only disclosed integration is Google Maps for directions.

Distribution is regional within the Hochrhein area of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, with patient acquisition driven by the practice website, phone and contact-form bookings, word-of-mouth, and a referral network of more than 15 local cooperative partners including midwives, natural health practitioners, an orthodontic clinic, babywearing consultants, and community organizations. An on-site psychological counseling practice (Desiree Amann) is co-located within Spinal Care's premises, broadening the offering toward integrated physical and mental health under one roof. The practice has no external investors, no parent company, and no funding history.

Revenue model

1. Fee-for-Service Private Treatment: Spinal Care generates revenue through fee-for-service private treatments billed according to the Gebührenverordnung für Heilpraktiker (HebüH 85). Services include physiotherapy, manual therapy, massage, osteopathy, and acupuncture. The practice has no statutory health insurance (GKV) accreditation, meaning all physiotherapy costs are borne by patients. Some statutory health insurance funds provide subsidies for osteopathic treatments. Work injury (BG) treatments are typically reimbursed by employers' liability insurance.
